CLient Upload Files

[garysgal]

I've been researching e-commerce for weeks now and I'm at the end of my rope. Does osCommerce give me the ability to have a client send an image along with their order, in a form? I really don't want them to have to open up their seperate email program and attach the images - my business is based on manipulating their pictures and it would be so much more professional to have them click a button to upload the image along with the item they'd like it associated with.

 

I can't believe this is such a hard thing to find! :D I guess I need something similar to the stores that take your digital images over their sites and then hard-print them for you to pick up...

 

Please help! Thanks so much in advance!

I didn't see any oscommerce contributions that do this, so you would have to program it yourself. PHP has a built in upload function. You can find upload scripts to use as an example.

 

A quick solution to your issue would be to set up an upload script outside of OSCommerce. And when somebody orders, you can send them an auto-respond email with a link to your upload page. There are many free php upload scripts that you can use, just do a search on yahoo or google. My favorite place to go for opensource scripts is www.hotscripts.com, you should find what you need there.
