Hello

I want to make a page that could insert records in a database and upload
an image at the same time, and if is posible that create a thumbnail of
this image.

Is this possible?

Thanks in adavance
PD: I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX

Sure. What scripting language do you have available? PHP? ASP?

The script has to do the following:

* take the uploaded file and store it under a real name somewhere in the
filesystem (don't put images into the database!)
* create a thumbnail image and store it, there are free libraries
capable of doing this
* insert the paths to the image and thumbnail into the database

Sure. Sounds like a lot of coding though. Do you know a server-side
scripting language?

You might look at DMXZone's Smart Image Processor and Upload products. Links
to ASP versions are below; they also offer versions in PHP and .NET.
