TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Before we can upload our images, we need to create our albums. Our album creation form is very simple. We will have 2 fields and 1 button: album name, album description, and submit. We'll call our script create_album.php:

 
<p><!--p<-->include("../include/config.php"); 
<br /> 
<br />
<br />
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
<br />
<tbody>
<tr>
<br />
<td>
<form action="add_album.php" method="post">
<br />
<p> </p>
<br />
<table id="addAlbum" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="60%" align="center" border="0">
<br />
<tbody>
<tr>
<br />
<td valign="top">Add 
<br />New Album</td>
<br /></tr>
<br /></tbody></table>
<br />
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="60%" align="center" border="0">

<td colspan="2" height="35">Please indicate the number of images you wish 
<br />to upload to your album(s). If you would like to create a new album,
