PHP Pix Place Server available!

[Humpa]

I have a php Pic Server here: humpa_mms.zip
Read the readme.txt - there is nothing to edit, though you will have to chmod 777 the pics and videos directories!
However, you may want to set Your Name and email address (this is only used as the From addy when sending pic as email, and is not needed).

It should work without any modifications.
It saves pics and videos, and it will also forward to an email address.
If you attach a voice record to the pic message, that is saved too.
If you include text, it is saved as the caption (for pics and videos) - if there is no text, but there is a Subject, then that becomes the caption.
I have customized it a bit for the V710 (I only have it check for 3g2 videos and qcp audio attachments), but pics and captions should work with any phonecam.

I use a variation of this on my phonecam page (in my signature), but here is a test of my humpa_mms package:

You need to install a webserver (Apache preferably, but IIS would work). Also, you need to install PHP and then configure the webserver to use PHP.

Of course, being able to contact your computer is also dependent that it is on publically available on the internet, not behind a router or NAT. Also, if you have any sort of firewall-ing (explicit or implied through ISP or NAT), you'll need to forward port 80.

Am I forgetting anything?

Can someone please post step by step instructions for how to do this. Thank You.

This assumes your webserver is good to go (PHP, Apache, etc...):

1. go to your public_html directory and create a directory (call it what you want...I called mine "mms". We'll call your's "mms" as well for this setup example.

2. unzip humpa's files and dump them into your "mms" directory. Those files should include 2 folders (pics and videos), and 4 .PHP files (class.phpmailer.php; get_public.php; index.php; mmslib.php)

NOTE: now you need to CHMOD the "Pics" and "Videos" subdirectories. There are a number of different ways to do this. Basically right click each folder in your FTP program and you should see CHMOD. Click it and make sure they say 777. It'll make sense if you see it.

3. [you may need a seem edit (or two)for this step -I'll assume it's already done. This also assumes you have a working web session]

Menu>Messenging>Message Setup>Pix Message Setup>Server Info>Menu>Edit. Then:
Service Name: "whatever you want
Server Name: http://www.yourdomain.com/mss/get_public.php
Web Session: Choose your personal Web session. If you have multiple sessions, just pick one.

*obviously "yourdomain" is the name of your website!

4. That's all! Send pics to email addresses or to your Pix Place. Your Pix Place is found at http://www.yourdomain.com/mss

5. You'll see that the email portion may be customized to humpa's settings. You may edit these to fit your own likings. Such edits include:

-in class.phpmailer.php, lines 61 and 67

-in get_public.php, lines 12, 13, 129-136, 140, 144, 149, 156, 158, 160

Hope that helps and please anyone, fill in any gaps I left out

Perhaps I should know why this is not working, but I don't. One thing I do know, however, is that this is on a Windows server. And I only know that because otherwise it would work!

I suspect it is something to do with Register Globals. Make sure Register Globals is set to "On" in your php config.

ick! change the code so that $picnumber is instead read as $_GET['picnumber']. and no more problems! actually i might take a look at it and see if i can optimize and enhance it
