    As if there weren't enough file hosting sites already... This is a completely over-saturated market, and I don't suggest anyone try to make money with these type of sites. They're a complete waste of time.

    Regardless, I completed this while on a Skype video call with a potential client who wanted to see how quickly we can work.

    There are a few things that I don't like about the site, but it has some cool features:
    • admin panel, with: IP, geo break down, uploads, delete, ban, stats, trend graphs
    • session checking for download links
    • automatic cleanup
    • transparent duplicate file handling
    • ajax / php upload progress bar

    It's not pretty but it's valid HTML and fully functional and built in 1 hour 40 minutes. It was fun.

    We've developed a plug and play video conversion module (queue, error handling, formats, auto DAR correction, etc) for websites. Integrating it takes less than an hour.

    It is amazing considering you created it from scratch in less than 2 hours. I just tried uploading my photo on it. There is one thing like after uploading it takes to a page where it says you are about to download a file but yeah i am sure its just the way it is and intentional considering you just wanted to show your clients how quickly you can work.

    Also I would very much want to know how you are uploading files because i am still learning, i mean is that the same upload php syntax used in it that i read in these php books and on php tutorial websites or is it something really advanced?

    Actually i just created as upload and sharing script by myself as a part of my PHP learning process and it took me all day today to complete it starting from designing and php coding.

    We have an extensive code base to pull from, and we've spent a lot of time recently making our code modular. I also have an extensive history working with uploads and video. All of this allows for rapid development...

    Anyway, as for your upload question, I used:
    --- PHP-PECL uploadprogress
    --- simple javascript / ajax to check progress and update div innerhtml

    Good luck with your project :)

    The reason for the "download page" was to show that we can force the user to view advertisements (we don't actually have any) before loading the file / prevent hotlinking simply by using a simple session check. It's not fool-proof, but it is good enough for a small site. I developed a better hotlinking protection script ( www.hotlinkingprotection.com ) which I can integrate later if need-be.
