Advice for creating form?
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 8:42 am
I'm kind of new to php. I've looked all over the internet for a tutorial that could get me started working in the direction I need to go but haven't had much success.
I need to create a form.
Here's what the form needs to have/do:
1. This form will be used to upload files (typically pdf or ppt).
2. The file needs to be uploaded to a specific folder on the server based on what "category" the user selects from a drop down menu in the form.
3. The form needs to have a few fields that the user would fill in describing the file being uploaded. Ex: name, description
4. Each "category" as mentioned in #2 will have it's own page on my website. Upon submission of the form, the respective "category" page needs to update and display information submitted and display a link to the file uploaded.
The basic idea is to allow people around the office to upload files to their respective department pages through a nice, easy web interface - then have that information actually display on our website for any users to see.
I'm sure there isnt' a tutorial anywhere that does EXACTLY what I want, but any advice on how I could approach this would be very much appreciated.
