uploading image file

[itworks]

i've developed a shopping cart site that has an administration area.

in this area the administrator has the ability to change products and insert new ones, but i have no idea how to make a field in the form from which he can browse his computer for the image of the product and then upload it to the images folder and insert/update the file name in the database.

thanks in advance.

To browse a hard drive for files in a for use this:

<input type="file" name="image">

that will show the browse button as well.

then to copy the image to a folder go

<?php

$upload = @copy("/path/to/image/folder/$image");

if(!$upload) die ("Could Not Upload!");

?>

i don't know why but it doesn't work.

maybe it's the path to the folder 'cause the form script is in the admin folder and i want to copy the image to this folder in the root directory images/products.

also the file name has to be inserted into the database, for the looks of it, it i'll be inserted has the full path, right?

thanks
