Brand New...

[zeroadvance]

Me and a buddy have started a new website.  Were basically looking to make a site where you can upload a swf or image file (at first) for a temp. amount of time.  Lets say 24 hours.  Then after 24 hours its deleted.    We eventually wanna grow into a bigger site where you can log in, keep your files, etc.  However we have the site layed out and a server set up.  We are missing the key part of PHP making the site work. 

 

What are the first steps we should take?

 

Are their any tutorials to help us set up a basic site?

 

Does anyone wanna help with the project?  ....  j/k..... but seriously.

 

Thanks guys.  Would love any advice or tips.

You would start with a book about php and mysql web development. Thread here has some great resources:

With that, at least you will have an idea of where to start. Without that, you can't do anything apart from paying somebody to do it for you.

I made a somewhat starter site for file uploads.

 

You are welcome to download it, modify it and use any way you see fit.

 

It can do multiple uploads, unique file naming, add a description, if need alternate stuff can also add title or w/e in the form and make a new variable similar to way description is set up.

 

I even made a basic website layout to see the uploaded files and included some pagination.

 

You can download it here.

You will have to add all the security, permissions, file type checking and such for public usage. This is a headstart for you.
