Hi i have built a web page and i would like the client to be able to upload images that can be displayed on a specific page. they will also have to be able to add text under these pictures. Can anyone help me with a solution to this issue. Please

You will need a server side script to handle the image and feed it back to your page- You can use a database or a flat file that gets written to each time you upload with the url of the image file and store it . Then a bit server side script that shows the image when the page is opened.

How you achieve this is up to how clever you want to be- you can simply upload unformatted text and a file or you can use a WYSWYG online html editor for your submission form- I use KTML Lite 3 as its free and includes a image submission button that does the image handling for you, but think this site (DMX) does one too. (Don't think you can still get KTML Lite 3 - KTML 4 is a pay to use extension by Interakt- taken over by Adobe I beleive.)

You want something like the editor you post to the forum with ideally- then you can usually edit the image in place- for size and postion.

Then again you might want to modify the image file on the server to show a thumbnail withthe real file as a link- you would need to process the image on the server then.

All do able just depends how much time you have to build. A lot of open source blogs and cms 's are ideal for this if it fits the plan- i.e Word press, Gallery 2.0 or Mambo//Joomla etc.
