My first fotopage. Need your help.

[Atari]

I'm working on my first script to view pictures. There are some things I really need your help with. Here they are:

• How do I make thumbnails that exist of a little part of the picture? Not just a littlte version of the big one, but a little piece.

-How do I make new folders on my server and upload pictures into it?

-How do I create a little text file in each folder with the name of the album? A new folder is a new album.

If I know this I will be a big step further.
Any tip is welcome. Thanx!

-How do I make new folders on my server and upload pictures into it?

// creating folder
$imagename=$POST['imagename'];//if you are using post method otherwise use $GET['imagename'];
$dir="../yourfolder/".$imagename;
if (!file_exists($dir)){ mkdir($dir, 0755); }

and in your form use
enctype="multipart/form-data"

sample

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="file" type="file">

</form>

//uploading files
$path=$dir;
$tempname1 = $FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$filename2 = $FILES['file']['name'];
if(!empty($filename2))
{
copy($tempname1, $path.$filename2);}

How do I make thumbnails that exist of a little part of the picture? Not just a littlte version of the big one, but a little piece.
