Post subject: image of the week type script?

hi there
i need a site where the client can upload an image every week, with a
caption, (so pref use the php upload image function to provide a web based
interface)
and that then automatically publishes and becomes the image of the week, and
all previous weeks images become smaller thumbnails below.... anybody have
an idea of how to do this? or is there a predesigned script i could use?
thanks |

Is there a reason why something simple like this wouldn't work?
<?php
echo
'<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="url_of_image" ><br>' ;
include( 'url_of_caption' ) ;
echo
' </td>
</tr>
</table>' ;

This should be fairly easy...
Create your form that will upload the image and store the caption in a
file (single line append).
When saving the file, generate both the thumbnail and large versions of
the image (use GD or ImageMagick to resize accordingly). Save the image
as a JPEG with a file name as a timestamp (http://www.php.net/time).
(Then you'll have image names like "1091546757.jpg"
Append the caption to a single line of the file.
Now for the front end of things...
Grab all the file names from the directory (http://www.php.net/readdir)
into an array and sort them according to filename. (Watch for the "."
and ".." entries, you won't want those.)
Read in the captions (http://www.php.net/file), which will already be
sorted by date.
Flip both arrays, output element 0 of each for the pic of the week.
The rest in the array would be previous images...

Sorry, I see now that I didn't read your posting all the way through,
so while my suggestion will handle the current image, it does nothing
about relegating previous images.
Is there any upper bound on the number of stale images to be
relegated?

I noticed that Message-ID: <lbOPc.24$j1.974@news7.onvoy.net> from Justin
Koivisto contained the following:
>Create your form that will upload the image and store the caption in a

I'd store all the stuff about the image in a database table( image URL
thumb URL, Image caption, thumb caption, alt text, date created etc.
This is more flexible as it allows you to add extra information
(photographer, location, model name, agency...) at a later date, if need
be. The data can also be used for other things.
Fetch the data with an ordered query and the first record will be pic of
the week. It stays till you upload a new one.

Sure, for the image part of it anyway:

I would as well, but the OP had said something about mysql being
overkill in an earlier thread today...

So you are happy that in three years' time, the page will have over 150
images on it?

Something I never do.
When I make stuff, I am always thinking ahead, what if the site gets
*really* busy.
Efficient stuff that works well on busy sites, works a treat on quiet
sites too!

But once you are used to it, it's so easy, especially with phpMyadmin to
set up tables.
