A more exciting thread title!

[samwichse]

Ok, I'm not really getting any views on the other thread (imposing name perhaps?), so I'll make up a new one here.

I've given up the searchability deal and just made accounts for differen't people's names, but I was wondering if there's a way to link the cgi script to an imagemagick script for creating thumbnails, also if there's a way to upload pictures directly from another computer via a text box?

Sam, hit me up on aim or IRC.

Hey, I'm back at school and they've got IRC blocked (warez I suppose), are you logged onto AIM?

EDIT: I assume it's the same as your sn here?

[jkrohn]

Yeah I'm on aim, jklinuxbox

Ok, seeing as you don't IM me I will respond here.

Yes what you want to do is feasible. You could do this in PHP in the following form.
2 PHP Pages
1) The first page would accept uploads of pictures, as well as keywords for that picture. It would use a system() call to run the appropriate ImagMagik command to create the thumbnail. Move them to the correct places, and insert all of this into a database in the form of
Slot #, Picture, thumbnail, keywords

2) The second page would take search terms. How you did the search algorithim would be up to you. You would have to prioritize terms, then search for the combos of each. You could then display the thumbnail, slide # linked to the larger picture.

So yes it is possible. The search algorithim is the hardest part. Everything else is pretty trivial.

Thanks, that is the way this forum works. When someone else has the problem they can find it, instead of instant message nick names.

Well I was seeking clarification on what the heck he even wanted. Let alone how things came in to him, what types, lengths and number of keywords would be used, if he needed deletion, etc.

That is much easier though AIM than 15 different posts here as those things change what is needed to be done also drasticly changes.

I'm pretty sure that surreal wasn't talking about you, but that random thread crap by R_1_Oh_Seven.

I'm having a hard time getting a long enough block of free time at work to hash all this out, but your help there (monday perhaps?) would be heavily appreciated.

My knowledge of any programming language is limited at best. I did some php scripts about 3-4 years ago, but they were submitted through and part of a website based on Midgard that I had no real access into the workings of. If there are any pre-written scripts I could modify (that's way easier), or whatnot that would be awesome, but I'm also game for learning to do it from scratch.
