This tutorial can be extended way further. And i plan on doing it, perhaps even up to the point where it can be a gallery who knows. I just need to gauge the success of this tutorial and the interest i have for future development. This code can so so easily be transformed into an object (which i was going to do) or be dissected into functions.

I know the code above is spaghetti code, but this is an introduction to the wonder world of PHP. I have attempted to teach security, error handling and basic programming concepts. If you want to leave a comment of appreciation please do so, i will keep writing tutorials then. If you want to post your opinion on some lines say so! But if you want to post stuff like "This is crap" your comment won't even be seen here Emo Although you will make me laugh!

Feel free to download a heavily commented full working version of the code from:
