How to get webcam working on website

madchaz

Alright. I have a nice litle intel webcam I would like it use to post real-time images on a website. Basicaly, I'd like it to save what it sees every, say, 5 minutes, as a jpg (or other format) file somewhere on my HD so I can put it on the website (hosting myself, will just have to lynk it or save it strait on the web server)

anyone got an idea how I can do this?
the camera is USB. I'm on kernel 2.6 (the latest) at the moment.
