selecting & sending img to database

Agusta

Hi,

how can I send an image to the database without having a browse function?

I want the user to be able to select an image from a input type=radio and send it to the database along with some text.

How can I do this...?

Any suggestions?

How does a user specify an image file with a radio button? You have a pile of images and you offer them the list for them to choose from?

In that case you're not talking about uploading files at all; you just need to store the selection they make in the database (store the selected value, not the image itself, because otherwise you'll end up with a lot of duplicated data).

yes that is true,

I need to be able to store the selected value...I am creating a star value system within a museum site so that users can rate exhibitions.

How can I send the selected value to the db?

I am using a simple form for the text...and was thinking of a input type= radio for the stars....but I have a problem with that because you can easilly select all of them. How can I change that so it is only possible to choose one?

Um, if all the radio button fields have the same name attribute, then only one can be selected.
