1)My objective:

I want visitors to post their pictures (the url, not the file) in my gallery.

2)My solution:

Input a text box in the site for the urls. Visitors will then be notify that they have succesfully insert their picture

3)The progress:

1.Visitor visits site for inputing pictures "www.mysite.com/paste.php"
2.Visitor input url "www.visitorsite.com/picture.gif" into text box.
3.When visitor click submit, visitor will be redirected to url
"www.mysite.com/paste.php?picture=<img scr=www.visitorsite.com/picture.gif>".
4.Then the picture will appear here "www.mysite.com.gallery.php"

4)The problem:

I do not know how to create a php code to move the entry from the text box to the url.

5)The question:

Do you guys understand? Pls help if you do, i dont mind explaining it in detail

That's kind of automatic Smile

When the fors is submitted, the information provided *can* be sent in the URL
Code:
<form action="paste.php" method="get">
URL: <input type="text" name="picture"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Because the 'method' of this form is "get", the information is sent the way you want. You just have to catch it
Code:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['picture'])) {
  // there is a picture in the URL
  echo '<img src="', $_GET['picture'], '">';
} else {
  // no picture, put here the form above
}
?>

People can spam F5 on 'mysite.com/paste.php?picture=...' and you'll have a gazillion duplicate entries... Remember to include a check for similar urls.
