hello,

i have this script that allows me to update content and stuff online… it uses PHP/MySQL… the thing is, i want to add something that will allow the users to upload files in a certain directory… lets say in “[http://www.mysite.com/uploaded/](http://www.mysite.com/uploaded/)”…  
users can upload images and zip files…

can you help me out a bit?  
or can you direct me to some tutorials?

thanks 🙂

ps: if there is another way to it aside from storing it in a directory pls do inform me 🙂

sinus, there’s like 100s of free upload scripts on the various ressource sites listed in the sticky thread here, you could even google “free php upload script” and i’m sure you’ll find some…  
pleeease search first, try to do it, then post specific questions if something doesn’t work, much higher learning curve.  
Don’t forget the error & filetype checking before/after upload…
