asp_web_howto thread: How to upload & manage pictures


Message #1 by "Michael Whitmill" <mwhitmill@e...> on Mon, 13 May 2002 18:58:41
I need to be able to upload pictures and manage them (display, label, 
etc.).  I am willing to do it in straight ASP/VBScript if it's an option 
or by interfacing to another package.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
--Thanks, Mike

Hi,

I have posted the same question. Some guys advised me
as follow:

Hi there,

You'll need a server-side upload component to be able
to let a user 
upload files to the server. Microsoft delivers one
with ASP, called the 
Posting Acceptor, but IMO it sucks (it messes with
Session variables, 
for 
instance).

One (free) solution I really like is a component by
Dundas 
(www.Dundas.com). It allows you to upload files to the
server and 
process 
them there. It comes with full docs and samples and is
quite easy to 
use.

Visit their website for more info.

Hi Mike,

The uploading shouldn't be a problem using ASP's built in functionality or 
third party component, but managing the pictures will take more.  I've 
been working on something similiar. My suggestion is to use a DB, txt 
file, xml or a combination of the these to manage the data(display, label, 
etc.) about the pictures. Your data store would be dependent on the amount 
of data. I recently saw a program written in php(no good for ASP guys) 
that works nicely. http://www.menalto.com/projects/gallery/modules.php?
op=modload&name=News&file=index . I found it inspirational. Maybe using a 
few different techniques would be the easiest so as not to re-invent the 
wheel: File upload component and a forum application? Hope this helps.
