Integrating image upload php script as a product

[adambg]

I tried to look for hours in the help and forum, but could find... Sorry if it's duplicate.

I am selling printed cards. I want provide customers the ability to upload an image, work on it, and submit it as a product.

I've found a PHP script to handle the upload and image customization (http://da.vidnicholson.com/2006/10/p...nipulator.html - check the demo), and it works as a standalone. It saves all the uploaded images with a random filename on the server.

I wish to completely integrate this functionality as a product, so I need the following accomplished:
1. When customers choose to design their own, this PHP will be shown just like any other product - that is, inside the shop, with header/sideboxes/etc
2. Forward the customer ID from zen to the script so filenames will contain the customer id.
3. After an image is uploaded, I need to notify zen that a new product is added to the cart, having the same functionality as normal products.
4. Allow customers to upload several images per product.

If you know how should I start it would be great!

Thread above should be starting point...
Image upload is already built in to zencart..

Thanks for the link, though the File Upload option is zen is quite limited. I need customer to work on the image after they upload it, and that's why I want to use external application.

Let me know if you have an insight on how to integrate an external script into zen. Thanks!
