How would I go about getting a “button” or function to happen on a webpage so the visitor can upload images to a website. I am working on a website for a picture framing shop and we want to have clients upload their pictures to the shop.
Thanks for any and all help,

Although be aware - I believe this can be a security risk, people on here will be able to advise better than me!
Search google or this site as well, there’s plenty of threads about this.

As Neil points out this can be a serious security concern as allowing any file uploads can be risky and you need to ensure that files are ‘vetted’ so that nothing dodgy can get through.
Remember that your site is probably only one of hundreds on a server and you dont want to be responsible for any security breach that can affect all those other sites.
So - not a trivial matter.
In saying that there are hundreds of options out there - have a look at PHP File Upload scripts - Free, commercial and open source scripts or http://www.scripts.com/php-scripts/file-manipulation-scripts/upload-scripts/ - probably a php solution would be best. Once you have found something that looks suitable then we can help you integrate it into your FW site.

Thanks for the great advice! I replied back last night, but for some reason I don’t see it up.
I told my friend that this could be a big security risk, not only to him, but to all on that server. I also said that it will probably be a PHP solution and that I do not speak PHP.
We will go through the lists of scripts and try to figure out one or two that might be best for the situation and then I will be back here to take you up on your offer to help integrate.
Thanks,

Instead of uploading files to the server you might be better to attach them to a form for emailing to your client.
Forms to Go certainly has the capability of doing this quite easily - and you can add this to a form which uses the PHPFF action too,
These images really only need to go to the server if you are planning some sort of manipulation there.
