Need help looking for a specific script or application
We are updating our website and are looking to integrate new features for our users. I'm looking for something that would allow users to create a single page or profile that can be reached by visiting http://mydomain.com/users_name (similar to MySpace access). The only difference is that I would need to be able to have users upload a single image and have room to type a little text. Thats it! I've looked at PHPizabi and a couple other applications but they each offer more than we need and you cant access it by adding a username extenstion such as http://mydomain.com/users_name . If you have any suggestions please let me know. If anyone out there can write code or script for what we need also let me know. I would be willing to compensate you accordingly.
Thx in advance

you would want something that would create the directory and then copy files from a default profile ie. mydomain.com/default_profile to set it all up
as for the profile image, a file uploader would need to be in place that would create user_name.jpg in 1 specific directory so that it can be overwritten each time the user tried to upload a photo. it will also need to be checked if its a valid image, and that the file size is not too large.
If you still need someone to script this for you, then i can attempt to but I havent written very much along these lines so i cant guarentee the outcome.

I wrote a similar server script recently for http://www.n2kdesign.co.uk.
For the server scripts, I couldn't just preview them as they are taken froma database field and thus rendered as plain text instead of being executed.
The way around it was to read the server page code from the database, and write it to a file directly on the server named by an indentified field in its database record. The script then redirects to this newly created page to execute the code. You could do somthing very similar with what you are suggesting there.
Store the complete web pages code in a database field with a unique id for each record. Then after storing that information in the database, immediatly create the file and inform the user.
If you have any scripting knowledge it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
as for third party scripts i'm afraid i can't make any suggestions.
