In Desperate need of PHP Help.

[Luke Dubbber]

I am currently new to PHP and I am reading a book by Premier Press called
PHP Professional Projects. I am new to PHP, I heard it was better and
faster and way more flexible so far they have been right. I use to use ASP
and VB Script. But I am weaning my way from Microsoft.
I am currently trying to make php file upload field I have found Classes,
and programs that are suppose to do this but I can’t make them work. Also
if any one knows how to make the image once uploaded Resize and then make
a up thumbnail state and over thumbnail state that would be great. I just
have a client who is interested in this and I am working my tail off but
yet to get a file upload to work if anyone has any ideas or would like to
help I would be great full if they would Thank you.

Have you examined any of the documentation on the php.net website?
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php will help you for
file uploads...

I don't understand what you mean by "make up a thumbnail state and over
thumbnail state" I am guessing that you have an image and you want the
server to resize the image for you - For this, you can use the GD
functions (my preference and is available as standard with PHP) or
ImagMagick (non standard but very popular and considered by some to be
easier).

I don't meant to upset you, but you're "working your tail off" (your
choice of words) to get this project done for a client using skills
you're only just picking up is a bad idea... asking folk for an entire
solution is next to laziness... asking for assistance though is only
human.... If I, or someone else was to write the code for you, what
makes you think you could support it?

I've been told more than once that folk will *help* you with your code,
but they are unlikely to write your code for you... thus provide some of
your code here and some information on where it is failing... folk here
are, by and large rather friendly and will help direct you, but you'll
have to bring your own map.

Lastly, download the documentation (I prefer the .chm files for quick
reference/direction on PHP issues) at http://ca.php.net/docs.php
