Can php let any user upload things to my server?
yup it can. check out this thread
http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11817&highlight=upload+script
And here is what it looks like:
yea…i saw that topic…but do you know how the user can acutally link the file from somewhere else?..its lik…they can upload it…then use it on my forum?
Yeah… it could then just give him the link locations… The file is saved as a tmp name… Just give it a real name and it’ll be sved in the directory the php script is located 
waaaa?..u havta put in the consideration of my newbiness and dumbassness…so…no clue wtf ur talkin about…
Well… It’s been a while since I used uploading with PHP…
What playamarz is trying to say is that if the user uploaded the abc.txt file to the server, for example, then PHP saves that file into the temporary folder on the server… When the uploading is done, you need to move that file in the temporary folder into the real place where the file should be located… Something like this, I guess… =)
o…wel…is there an easier method of doing this?
no. Its not an easy thing to accomplish… possible but not easy.
alrit then…i think i’ll give the script a try…i’ll prolly get into a lot of problems though…
