Uploading files to server

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to do a few things and I am not sure how to get started and what would work best so I am looking for advice and maybe some sample code.

I want to allow users to upload a message to a server. The message will need to have other information stored with it like its type (Type A or Type B), The likes, Upload date and time, and the amount of times it has been flagged.

Other users will then be able to download messages and they will need to be sorted either by likes, how recent, type, or some sort of combination.

I would also like to allow users to flag a message and if the message has been flagged so many times higher than the amount of likes, remove it.

Storage space on my server will also be limited, so a way to have images older than 30 days deleted would be great.

If anyone can help with any of this please do. [import]uid: 104852 topic_id: 35716 reply_id: 335716[/import]

It doesn’t sound like you need to upload files, but database records. You will need a webhost that supports PHP (or some other server side scripting language of your choice) and a database like mySQL.
