Upload Photos to own server
« on: February 25, 2014, 07:21:38 PM »
Hi,

I want to create a standard upload to my own server using photo mechanic but I wanna also use a script that allows me to use metadata from the photos to insert on a mysql database.

It is possible?

Sure, but unless you're an engineer, you'll want to use something like Gallery2 for that.

I'm an engineer but I'm new to photo mechanic. Actually I'm developing a website to a photographer and he wants to upload the photos by photomechanic and show it on the website like he wants but I want to create a record for every photo uploaded.

Can you guide me?

Thanks!

I suggest uploading via FTP to your server and then use your web app to process the files once they arrive.  Exiftool is very nice for processing images of all kinds for metadata.

HTH,

I guess I will try both options and see the best way to me!

Thanks, really!

If I have another questions I will come back.
