My code lib! Uploading Problems!

[randomize]

Hey guys,

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was building an codelibrary and needed a way to upload the scripts.

I think I have fount a tutorial which will show me how to do it!

But however I need to know the way in which it is done, is it ok to be run on the x10hosting servers, with slight modifications to the script.

Its currently for images, but I could change it for scripts.

Here is the link:

thanks for feedback

The answer is probably going to be a No because it would allow file uploads to the site and that is against the TOS if I am correct

note I am not 100% correct

I'm not meaning to go against what you said Chris, but..

I think it would be alright for you to have a upload system for programming scripts/files/etc, since it wouldn't directly be coprighted files, and your site wouldn't be primarily an 'upload site'.

I have a suggestion though for you. If your going to have people upload code files, why not just have a textarea on your site, (With a few other things of course.. ), that someone could copy and paste the code into, then when they hit submit and have the recieving script insert it all into a MySQL database? Just a suggestion though.

So if I implemented the ways in this tutorial:

It would be allrite?

if not I shall have to find a way to do Nedrens way!

Many Kind Regards,

The way Bryon mentioned would be far easier than uploading a file, especially if you saved the scripts in text files rather than in a database. Actually it would be pretty cool if your site offered both the option to upload scripts or use a textarea...

yeah that might be a good idea actually!

i was just wondering, the sql way might of been easier for me, but I suppose I can do the text area as well!

How would be the best way of doing the text area?

Presumbly, I would still need to use an MySQL database!

I am going to run a few test pages, see what happens!
