I have this website: www.apcarsales.com
Now I need to make a log in, so the admin of the site could log in as admin and browse for pictures from his computer and add them. Also so when he is done editing everything so he post and it makes a new page.
Right now I do everything manually.

I was wondering, would this be a script or a database would have to be written.

I built that site with Dreamweaver CS3.

(I only started in making websites and at the age 15 it's very difficult to know all the languages and scripts. Actually I know none. The most I am familiar with is HTML. )

Actually, you do not write databases. What you need is an hybrid image upload type script that uses Imagemagick or GD (for image manipulation/resizing/thumbnails). A database could be used on the back-end to contain the info (for searching) but if you will only have a low/limited amount of data then flat-file should be considered feasible. (Have a look at www.indyevents.com and click on "photo gallery" for an example.)

I need to make a script that allows admin to browse for and add pictures. And when he clicks submit it creates a new page for that car with the images and all. So only the admin could do it. No one else.

People are waay to complicated these days. the answer to your question is both and something else.

He needs to browse his pc and add them - to what?

When he's done editing everything - the pictures you mean?

Specifics are your friend. I'm just going to take a stab in the dark from what you said and look at the site, and take it that you want a management system that will automatically generate pages when your friend adds a new car, and you need it to show the available pictures on those pages.

I most definitely would NOT use a flatfile. What you need is a database to store all of the information about the car, (including image names to generate links). Secondly, a file management system so you can store the images. The script will access the database and automatically generate a page. I already have each of those things between different projects that I've worked on and it will take me a couple weeks to bring them together into a nice fluid application for you. Message me and let me know if you're interested.

Yes, I would be REALLY interested. Please help me out!

Yes, I need the admin to add new cars. So he would have to add pictures and at the end click ok, and it would upload them and create a new page.

THANKS A LOT!

message me and we'll talk some more, (signature). The pages would be generated the moment he adds the information for a new model and be available with all the information before the pictures are saved. As he adds the pictures, they will become available on the page.

That sounds good!
