are you uploading the images as files to be files stored on the server or are you uploading them into the database. i've done both, so i'll help you either way.

Hello Rob

I am uploading them as images to be stored as images, see the code below:

<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="MULTIPART/FORM-DATA" ACTION="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF?action=upload_file&dir=$dir"; ?>">
Local Filename <INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="userfile">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>
<?php

echo $userfile . "<br>";
echo $userfile_name . "<br>";
echo $userfile_size . "<br>";
echo $userfile_type . "<br>";

?>
</BODY>

As I mentioned this will upload text but not images, it's as though the server is not allowing them to be stored. Note I am using php4. Regards

well i'll tell you all i know that should be going on. (i dont know what you know and what you dont)
$userfile will be the file name of a temp file stored in your /tmp directory. you should easily be getting some thing that looks like /tmp/php24pgkde or some random name like that.

so if that happens then you just need to copy it to wherever you want using the copy() command. eg.

copy($userfile, $path_to_upload . $userfile_name );

so thats all. tell me if that helps at all or if its something else.

Found problem, the web user on our server had used all allocated quota space, this was preventing me from uploading anything around 25kb. I increased the size of quota and sorted out the web logs and now all appears to running fine.

Again thank you for your help.

Kind Regards
