I am making a script for photo updates. Right now, I am just laying out the script and documenting it and such, before I actually get to coding it. Basically the only thing I don't know how to do is: take the images that have already been uploaded via FTP, and add theme to the database.
If you have ever been in the admin area of Coppermine Photo Gallery, there is something called 'Batch Add Pictures', that is exactly what I need.
If you aren't familiar with it, it gets the files from a folder on the server, lets you input some variables (captions and things), then moves the files to the permanent location and inserts the info needed in a MySQL database. How do I get the files from the server, display them, and move them?
