URGENT HELP!!! image uploading

[ferangper]

I'm trying to upload images and store them in a table, my code is:

//
$theFile=fopen($adlink,"rb");
$imdata=addslashes(fread($theFile,filesize($adlink)));
fclose($theFile);
mysql_query("insert into addons values (-1,'$descr',$atype,'$imdata')",$link);
//

$adlink is the name of my <input type=file> field in the form, I try to upload a simple jpg image and the problem I get is in the first line of the code:

Warning: fopen("C:\Documents and Settings\angelef1\My Documents\DynaProc\backsearch2.jpg","rb") - No such file or directory in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/areas/psca/mechanic/hotlist/addons.php on line 27

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/areas/psca/mechanic/hotlist/addons.php on line 28

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/areas/psca/mechanic/hotlist/addons.php on line 29

I guess fopen() cannot find the file, but why??
What am I doing wrong?

I would really appreciate your help, I need to get this done by Friday!

When a file is uploaded, it is not uploaded to the same directory that the script is located in. That's why when you try and fopen it with that path, the file is not found.

try using the move_uploaded_file function first, or, figure out what temp directory the files are being uploaded into and open it from there directly. This should be controled by your php.ini file.

Also, after the script is done executing, the files that were uploaded are instantly removed from the temp directory [which is handy really] so you have to "use" it before the script ends.
