i'm new to web design, but would love to have the photo's uploaded to mysql database to allow the photos to be added to the gallery automaticly so i dont have to manually add them myself, but i'm still finding mysql a bit confusing. can anyone sort this for me or direct me to the info on the web that i need?
Alternatively can i us a simple script where a user can upload a photo to me via a php form so i can add it to the gallery manually?
many thx in advance.

One of these might be the easiest option if you are new to web design, however if you have a basic grasp of PHP/MySQL, then building a gallery isn't too difficult.
Depending on how simple you want to make it, you may just need one table to store the photo information, called Photos for example, and storing:
id
filename
title
description
uploaded_at
Have a good read through of this page: http://www.php.net/features.file-upload
That will explain how to handle file uploads in PHP. I would suggest that you store the photos in a folder on your server, and the photo information in the database. Don't try storing the photo in the database itself.
