Question ID: 311891
I am developing a website for my customer at gwpanamacity.com.  He
wants to be able to change the 9 images that appear at the bottom of
the page himself (he is not very computer literate).  He wants them to
come from another existing website.  I have them appearing by
specifying the pathname from the website they are coming from as seen
in the example below:

<img border="0" src="http://panamacitymls.com/media/315964_151124.jpg"
width="189" height="140">

  Is there an easy way he can specify and change the path of the image
from the website they are coming from and have them automatically
appear on the homepage?  Also, is there a way he can set these images
to have a hyperlink associated with them as well?  Thanks.

The easiest way to do this would be to hire (or do it yourself) a
php/mysql programmer to design a small script and 'admin' area for
your customer to use a 'browse' button to select and upload an image
from their desktop or other place.

Would this suffice what you're looking for?  I don't have the exact
code, but can recommend a programmer I regularly use for such things
in my own web development:

I highly recommend him for such things, and he has an incredibly fast
turn around and is reasonably priced.

I was hoping to get an answer that I could implement myself.  It is an
inexpensive website that I am developing so paying even a small amount
to another developer is not a great option unless it is really
inexpensive.  If your source is wiling to give me an estimate, I would
certainly consider that.  Thanks.

decentatwebsites,

Could you confirm what (if any) scripting languages are available on
the gwpanamacity.com server?

Also, does he have control over the files on the server where the
images will be located?  If so, the easiest way to do this is to
overwrite the nine image files with the same names as necessary...then
the image path never needs to change.

1. The server supports cgi, and php.  
2. Yes, I can give him access to the files on the server.  I just
don't know how to associate an image on a webpage with an image name
listed in a file (i.e., the file that would have the 9 image locations
listed).  Bear in mind, the actual images will be resident on another
website (a real estate MLS website).

PHP can do the admin login/area,
Then you just keep doing what you are doing :
<img src="someotherserver">
It can be easily done with php. Let me know if you need help with it.
