Hey!

I'm going to make a profile page to my game, and i was just wondering.
Is there any way that a player can upload a picture, so that everyone can see that picture in the players profile page?

Here you have a basic upload tutorial for php:

Just be sure that if you allow players to upload pictures that they have a way to report abuse and that you are able to handle it quickly. It is only a matter of time before someone thinks it would be funny (or in their best interest, if it is someone who runs another game) to post pornographic pictures as their avatar.

Yes, someone will do it - it's just a matter of time

yea, i will come up with something But is there anyway to resize the image? Or just manipulate so that the image looks 160x160?

I'm pretty sure GD2 has a way to do it, but I know for a fact ImageMagick can do it. GD2 is included with PHP, and ImageMagick is another free image manipulation program with a PHP interface. Imagemagick has many effects that can be applied, with cropping and resizing being only two of them.

okay, thanks mate!
