Well Koobi, at first I did want the user to be able to upload the images directly from the camera but I am not sure that this is even possible. If it is, then I'd rather have it possible to do so so that things (from a users point of view) are easier. But if it is not feasible, then having the user upload the images themselves will do.

About the image resizing in PHP, yes I would definitely want image resizing/compression to simply save space for the user.

The database that I would need would be really simple right? It would just create like a separate "folder" for each user and in each "folder" it would store each of their files that they uploaded. I would also obviously want to limit the amount of total space that each user has.

Finally, I have been thinking and I would like to develop a site that is free storage for anything (all file types) rather than just images. Images would most likely be the main thing for site anyway, but I want users to have the option to upload videos etc.
