looking for a simple user upload image script
Hi, has anyone seen a simple script that would enable a user to upload a photo simply through their browser. And possibly have it placed in a specified page by use of a tag. If it is only to a specified file that would be ok as well as I could just reference it in the html. Thanks in advance. Let me Know

There are many file uploader scripts, and tutorials, on the web...
http://www.perlarchive.com
http://www.webreview.com
Both of those urls will give you many links that you will find helpful, as well as explain how the uploader works.
Cheers!

You have to upload the image into a file -- you can't just insert JPEG or GIF or bitmap data into an HTML file midstream.
Next, to make sure you can do this easily, I'd suggest using the standard CGI.pm module. This will make your life very easy. And make sure you have a directory in which you can create files! And make sure your form has the proper method (POST) and the proper enctype ("multipart/form-data").

japhy-
there is a round about way to insert images into HTML...
you will use an upload script to get the image to a dir on the server. The upload script will then exec script2..
script2 will take a template html page or perhaps a live one, pattern match it, and insert img tags with the path to the just uploaded image.
Tah dah, you have just changed the image on my html page!

I was referring to inserting binary data into an HTML page and expecting it to appear as an image. There are a multitude of ways to link to an image, of course.
