Ever feel fedup to use photoshop just to resize pictures and watermarking? Use ftp to upload files isn't that user-friendly? Well, I've got something for you!
The rationale of doing this little script is to enable us to upload our pictures into the server like a breeze. Basically this script does the following few thingy:
- Select the folder on the your computer where your photo you wish to upload reside
- Type the name of the folder you wish to create on the ftp server to place these photos
- Hit 'Get Pictures'
- You'll see the list of photos available in that folder so just tick the checkbox of those photos you wish to upload
- After selection hit 'Prepare for upload'
- The script will auto resize the photos and add in the watermark and save your photos in the tmp folder of your script
- Now this part is tricky, saw the _info.txt textarea? If you do not wish to overwrite the existing _info.txt on the gallery please clear the textarea.
- Hit 'Upload to Server'
- Once the files are uploaded, you can choose to remove the tmp folder you had created earlier on.
Tada. Its as easy as ABC I guess. Here's a sneak preview for you dear:
Its not bug-free. I haven't got any insect repellants, but for now it should work as fine as it is because I've tested; for some time at least. Let me know if anyone of you uses ftp to upload your pictures and wish to go for something like this, fast and easy.
Note: ITS NOT A GALLERY. This is for pre-gallery preparations (i.e. resizing and watermarking).
Pre-requisites: Apache with PHP & GD compiled on your OWN computer!
