noob here lookin for help with images

Hi All, I'm a total noob here, so please bear with me.

I'm working in DWMX to build a website where users can register, login and create a profile. I'm using PHP and MySQL for all the user data, and I want to let the users upload a photo for their profile. How do I code the page so that the photo is uploaded into the DB, and also retrieve it when the profile page is called? Please remember, I'm a total noob here, so I think baby steps would be good. 🙂 Thanks in advance.

It's very easy to do. Just check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

If you aren't familiar with inserting and fetching contents from a database then read http://www.codingclick.com/print.php?aid=21

There maybe more detailed advice in another thread if you search this forum.

GREAT INFO!! Thanks Mark!

However, I still need to know how to get the images uploaded into the DB, or at least when someone looks at their "profile" the page knows the correct photo to display for that profile. With DWMX, I have no problems manipulating the data in the database, just how can I deal with photos? cause DWMX doesn't support binary transfers into the MySQL DB.
