Yep,
ironically on craigslist there are at least a dozen kids trying to get people to work for "shares" of a company. Now even if people ignore the fact that 50% of $0 is still $0, they are unlikely going to stick around very long with student-debt in this market. =P

Although not recommend for production environments, you could try it with:
allow_url_fopen=On
allow_url_include=On

Then read this:

Once again, I am a complete n00b with php. I don't even know what is going on in that scheduled task...

Because you are a n00b doesn't mean you can't learn.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Start with something simple at first to get the feel of how things work and then work from there.

The thing is I need to see it in action to learn how to do it. I'm kinda figuring it out though, and the only thing that is left to do is fix the image upload issue.

However I can't seem to fix this problem; there is some blackspace above everything on the index page

and I have no clue what is causing it. There is no space viewitem

and postsomething

wat do.

Edit: Turns out it was a simple css issue, my divs were all messed up.

Alright, so I finally have everything fixed!

....except for the image issue. It needs a new image upload and thumbnail making system, and while I am learning a bit about php I still can't figure out how to implement one. I installed GD library but I'm not sure how to make it work with the database and stuff. Anyone want to take a shot at it? (please)

@Grenadier, test your CSS in IE6/IE7 before claiming victory over the bugs... ;-P

<?php
/* First create a sub path 'img' with a RGB jpeg file called 'some_full_size.jpg' */

/* Try this block of test code, and note the system file path is not a URL */

//get a cleaned file name from ...
$imageName=preg_replace( '/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i','_', 'some_full_size');
//create some file resource paths
$fileName=getcwd() . '/img/'.$imageName.'.jpg';
$iconFileName=getcwd() . '/img/'.$imageName. '.icon.jpg';
//width of final image
$iconWidth=120;

if(file_exists($fileName))
{
// load image and get image size
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg( fileName);
$width = imagesx( $img );
$height = imagesy( $img );

// calculate thumbnail size
$new_width = $iconWidth;
$new_height = floor( $height * ( $iconWidth / $width ) );

if($new_height > $iconWidth)
{
$new_height = $iconWidth;
}

// create a new blank image obj
$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor( $new_width, $new_height );

// copy and resize old image into new image
imagecopyresized( $tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height );

// save thumbnail into a file
imagejpeg( $tmp_img, $iconFileName, 88 ); //88% image quality

//free the objs
imagedestroy($img);
imagedestroy($tmp_img);
}
$dhtml= '<img src="img/"'.$imageName.'.jpg" alt="'.$imageName.'"/>'.
'<img src="img/"'.$imageName.'.jpg.icon.jpg" alt="'.$imageName.' icon"/>';

echo $dhtml;

?>

Cheers,
Rod

Yay it works! I'm beginning to understand how the mysql database works, and all that is left to fix is to make sure that images get deleted when people delete the posts. I put this in action.php:

However it gives me this error;
ï»¿

Warning: unlink() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /home/teravolt/public_html/junkbox/action.php on line 29

Warning: unlink() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /home/teravolt/public_html/junkbox/action.php on line 31

How would I convert the resource to a string? I can't seem to find any information on the interwebs regarding how to do that.

mysql_query() returns a resource object, and not a string path name...

Is there a way to return a string from the mysql database?

imageurl = mysql_query(" ..foo.. LIMIT 0,1"); //grab only one record

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { //process each returned result
$strTempName = preg_replace( '/[^0-0a-zA-Z\-\+\_]/i','',$row['imgURLThumb'] ); //get image name
unlink( getcwd() . '/img/' . $strTempName . '.jpg'); //force clean file path and name
}

You should read the samples on the posted link...
