i dont know how to code in php but essentially id like to create a page which you need to register to be a user...

Then from after you log in it will take you to a page where you have the option to upload 5 files (restricted to mp3 and wma files). The user will then be able to listen to these files in some sort of player(maybe a flash player)..


Again im not exactly sure what my limits are as well as my creative potential is limited to. So, with that said, if anyone could point me in the right direction, give me some tips, it would be much appreciated.. Also this is for a college class and may lead to a website i plan on creating..

I'd say to learn the basics first before even started, once you know how does PHP programming looks, then start looking for file upload script or something like that, and hopefully you can find the Open Source version... once you're done, then you're going to look for the player and a way for PHP to communicate with your player

I hope it helps

You will need to know the basics of how to use PHP, you will then need to create a connection to the mysql database with php see: PHP MySQL Tutorial once you have done that you should go about looking for php tutorials on uploading files and how you can limit the files size/type etc... From there you will need to find/make a player for playing the music, if you make one you will probably need to make it in flash.

Hope thats of some help,
Lee.

I used visual quickstart guide "PHP for the world wide web" and it even mentions things about uploading files.

There's probably a tutorial out there that you can use as a base and then reference the php.net site. This will only be worthwhile, however, if you're a fair programmer in some other non-perl, non-ruby language. Why am I picking on those 2? The differ so much from the c syntax that conversion isn't as close as 1-to-1.
