### 🤔 Why Did I Create This Project?
Current image hosting services often require various PHP functions and complex configurations, with inconsistent quality. I wanted to develop a purely handcrafted, open-source image hosting platform. Writing the code myself is also more secure.

### 😘 Acknowledgments
Thanks to the users in NodeLoc, whose support motivated me to keep going and encouraged me to open-source the project early.

### 😜 Installation
Hmmm... It is not recommended to download using Git commands to avoid permission issues. Simply upload the files directly to your server, and it's ready to use!

Prerequisites:

- PHP 8.2 or similar (not confirmed)
- MySQL support
- Looking for experts to help test it

1. Modify `config.php`
   After setting up the database, go to lines 15-18 of the file:
   ```
   HOST → Database domain
   NAME → Database name
   USER → Database username
   PASS → Database password
   ```
   PS: Be careful when editing the file; do not delete any other symbols.

   Go to lines 20-24:
   ```
   WEB → Website URL
   SITE → Site name
   (↓ The values below can be filled in later or left empty)
   MAX_FILE_SIZE → X*X*X
   ALLOWED_TYPES → ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'webp']
   ```

   Go to lines 26-33 (if you don’t know how to fill these, search for tutorials online):
   ```
   EHOST → Email domain provider
   NUM → Email port number
   EUSER → Recipient email
   EPASS → Authorization code
   FUSER → Sender email
   FNAME → Sender name
   SECURE → Protocol (ssl for encrypted, tls for unencrypted)
   ```

   For the rest, fill them out only if you know how; otherwise, it's best not to touch them.

2. `languages/en.php`
   This is the English language pack. You can fill in your own `site_title`.

## 🌟 Issues (Problems)
It’s best to report any issues in the `issue` section, as NL (NodeLoc) might not always check.

## ✈️ Updates
There is no automatic update feature; you need to download the new version manually.
