User Uploads

[MikeKohler]

Hi, my experience with web design so far has been creating simple pages using Dreamweaver and Front Page and uploading them to an FTP site. My supervisor has just requested that I add a page, which is password protected, whereby users can upload documents, generally word and pdf. My question is: does this require learning PHP or some other web language. If so, can anybody recommend a book whereby I could learn the basics?
Thank you,
Michael Kohler

Yeah, you'll definetly need some kind of Server-Side language for that. There are plenty of sites out there that have pretty good examples.
google for something like: "XXX file upload tutorial"
where XXX is the server-side language you have access to.

Like PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion etc...

For starters this is a pretty basic tutorial that deals with PHP's filer uploading.

If you have any trouble implementingit, you can always ask for help in the PHP forum right here on tek-tips. forum434
