[NTLUG:Discuss] Uploading to a web site.

Steve--

Personally, after test-driving several different PHP-based galleries,
I settled on Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com). If you want to roll
your own, you'll have to address a number of issues, such as
authentication, session management, server security, etc.  Life's too
short to continually reinvent the wheel...
