Finally Some Movement…
I know it has been long or rather very long since I spoke anything about that photo website of mine and that self made content management system. So, here I am, with the latest news.
I think I have taken enough knowledge about the processes of development related with PHP and MySQL. So I have started writing a script (or it can also be called a collection of scripts forming a Software, similar to wordpress but not even 1% of it). It was not on the plan first. But when I started filling the database with the information about the images, I came across the painfulness of filling a database.
So, that same person, Tushar Gokhale, who was teaching me this self made CMS creation process gave me an idea. He told me to write this software that will allow me to upload images. I planned some more things of my own.
Here is a short description about the software. It will allow the user to upload an image. If the uploading is successful, then a thumbnail and an image slightly larger than the original will be created. Then the user will be redirected to an HTML form where he/she will be able to add the information about the image.
This is the most general description. Further details and corners will fill in later to form the complete circle. The script to upload images is ready and so is the one to create the database and tables. Now I will be writing the form to fill the database. I also need to find some information about the image resizing thing. I have done it on my computer using ‘image magic’. But it was with bash script not PHP. And I think that I will have to install some libraries about ‘image magic’ to get this thing working. Needs more digging.
I know that there might be thousands or even more scripts like this over the internet. But my main reason behind this is learning more about PHP and MySQL so finally when I launch my website based on these 2, I won’t have to spend 80% time in rectifying mistakes. I would like to learn more in order to minimize the mistakes.
Stay tuned for further updates about the website.
