Need to Upload & then Display in PHP pages

I’m working with a realtor who wants to easily upload photos and descriptions for properties to his website.
I’ve seen the posts on uploading pictures, but how do I create a dynamic page that grabs the relevant info from the database and posts it?

I need to:
1) Create an administration page from where they can upload photos and property information
2) Create a page on the website that automatically displays the relevant category of property photos with the relevant information.

[B]My question is this: [/B]
Is this something that I could easily accomplish with something like Joomla, WordPress, or Drupal to make it easier? Is there another opensource tool that does this? Or would it be better to code the pages using php and mysql databases that I create myself? My problem is my limited knowledge of php.
I don’t mind learning the coding, but I don’t want to reinvent the wheel here.
Or even customizing someone else’s code to do this.

I just don’t know what it’s called or where to look to do this. Any pointing in the right direction is much appreciated!

Thanks!

@rch10007Apr 17.2006 — You can do what you are asking many ways...

(1) you can offer the client a free CMS (Content Management System) like the ones you mentioned - running a search on an search engine will return many of them, then you will need to sort them to determine which ones will work in your case. Almost anything you find will need to be customized!

(2) You can write your own admin pages and small scripts that pull whatever data from a DB and place it on pages that already exist. This, IMO, is prob the easiest way as you can create scripts that do exactly what you need them to do. The problem with pre-made CMS' is that they are created to do a ton of things that you may not need or want your clients to be able to do. That's why I recommend creating your own.

(3) You can sub contract a programmer to do what you need so that you don't have to watse your time and you will be able to get exactly what you need. i'm sure there are a few on this forum that would easily write you a small CMS to upload pics and control their placement on a page.

There are more options that you can choose from but personally I would either write it myself or hire someone to write it for me - this way you get only what you need and you nor your client have to learn difficult CMS' that are available.

if you choose to write the code yourself, everyone at this forum will be happy to help you along the way and will even offer some bits of code for you BUT you will only find help when you show what you have started and ask for help with your code. People will not help if you ask for someone to give you free code that they may have already created themselves.

PHP is fairly user friendly and what youa're asking for shouldn't be difficult for you to write. Bokeh already has created a form for uploading pictures and if you do a search for mysql and display pics, you will prob find some scripts to pull the info from a DB and create a page to display them. Then you will just need to locate an admin page which you will find by searching here also.

Good luck! You can do this, it really isn't hard, just search until you find what you need and then you can get help from there.

Success!
