digital photo print ordering site - how?

1) Let the customer choose between different sizes (for each image)

2) Choose between border or borderless printing (for all images)

3) Have the upload create a folder based on the last name the customers fill in a form (that comes along with the order)

I understand you need to change the upload.php so that it creates a folder based on the last name, does anyone know how?

The big problem is the sizes.

We want something like this:

On the first page: Fill in a form with name, adress, email etc, and with imageupload select images which uploads to folder with same name as their last name.

Second page: see all their images and choose size

Third page: choose with our without border for all images, and if the want "autocorrect" on their images etc.

Done.

The best would of course be if before the "first page" (above) they log in, or can create an account which contain their last name, adress etc, and the script then uses this.

Can anyone help?

From experience I can say that this is not an easy task. I've got over 400 hours in so far and still counting. My best suggestion is go look at the various sites that already do this (walmart, ofoto, shutterfly) and look at how they do it. Using Imageuploader as the interface for the user to select images solved more than a few problems and gives a number of unique features that other sites do not offer.

However, you are going to have to code your upload section twice because about 10% +/- browsers that will be hitting your site will not properly handle the Imageuploader ActiveX object.
