Folks,

Isearched hotscripts, googled and asked around but am still looking for a *free* image hosting script - I am interested in setting up a free image hosting site but wanted to explore it fairly cheaply!

Any ideas??

Thanks

Simon

Why would anyone bother taking the time to post an answer like that. (rhetorical question)

Tarheel, if I understand your comment "image hosting script" correctly check out: http://gallery.sourceforge.net/

Yes, but gallery isn't image hosting. I think he means a script that will setup a folder when they register, and they will be able to upload there images to that directory through the website.

Not hard to make, although it would be a little bit of a time waster.

^ yeah the script shouldn't be too hard to do. but maybe he just wants a script the doesn't need the user to register and all images are public. I've seen a few of them free on hotscripts.

Thanks for the comments - yep it isn't a ton of work to create what I want but more than I have time for!!

Ideally I want clients to have to register, I want to monitor bandwidth/usage of each image/account etc etc I would like to have different plans (bandwidth, # images etc) so people could migrate from free to paid etc

Although I could build all this I am seriously lacking time so I was hoping there was one out there. Also this is a test so I dodn't want to invest a ton of time & money if I could help it!!!

Check out Coppermine!

http://coppermine.sourceforge.net

I think it offers what you are looking for...

Thanks - I had seen coppermine but I think it is more gallery album based, probably more comlex than I need but I'll spend some more time checking it out.

Well, just gave a real answer...

an "Image Hosting Scripts" Isnt gallery nor Coppermine..

Now, if Tarheel is looking for an Image Gallery/Album, then hotscripts.com - php.resourceindex.php will prevail hundreads of soruces...

If you are looking for an Image Hosting Script, then there arent any (which are Free)..

Hope I made myself clear

Peace,

azizny, I think you are confirming what I am discovering!!!

Roll my own or cough up some greenbacks seem to be the options

Thanks folks for all the comments

I really like this script as it gives a "real" image URL rather and a img.php?u=blahblah&i=2 which is sometimes blocked by many forum scripts. Yet it still tracks bandwidth due to the use of mod_rewrite. If you need help, I can help you setup somthing like photo bucket.
