would i need to learn PHP and all sorts of other web programing? do you think a site template is available to use/purchase anywhere? i was thinking about doing something like this for some myself and some friends share some of our photographs. can any of you point me in the right direction?
Depending on how in depth you wanted to go, there are two paths I could suggest:
1) Learn PHP. All you would need is a simple upload + resize image PHP script (could be found on the net) and then another script to search the folder that your images are uploaded to, and show a random image.
2)
Gallery is a complete image-management PHP program that can be installed on most web servers. It has features to allow multiple people to create accounts, and upload images, without you having to code anything yourself.
Note that neither option would work on free ISP hosting or .Mac, if that is what you use.
i am sorry for the link, but it is the only site i know of that is like this.
Oh, don't be sorry!
Edit: on second thoughts, you could skip the whole image upload/resize script if you gave your friends FTP access. They could simply drop photos into a designated folder, then all you would need is a script to find any images in that folder, and display them.
