What exactly is it that you're trying to do? Are you trying to upload an image, or display the image on a webpage?

well... i think it was to upload the image.... sorry if you guys confuse... 🙁

Have a look at the [man]ftp[/man] functions or the [man]copy()[/man] function.

Have you written the code that actualy processes the uploaded image data?

i'm guessing he doesn't have code to process the data...is there a site you can send him (and me) to w/ sample or downloadable scripts for viewing images (I have them for ASP but I'm trying to switch to PHP)

Check out the PHP manual. I believe it has an example of you retrieve the data you upload ( it does in the windows help version of the manual).

I do have a script that gets image data from a mysql table and outputs it via the HTML img tag. Something thats very handy.

If you want it ill post it.

That would be great if you could post it. I've tried doing my own but it doesn't like what I'm doing. While you're at it, if you post the sample code for uploading the mulitipart data that would be great as well. The site I'm looking at says that the image data should be stored in variables called (if the initial form consists of <input type=file name="image">): image (the binary data) image_size, image_name and image_type (obvious what those are)...though i always get back "undefined index" if i try to print these variables (plus they don't get entered into my database, of course).

The PHP manual is confusing to me...sounds like you have to download some DLL from GD but I've looked at other how-to sites and it doesn't seem like this is necessary (though since they're not working maybe it is..and I did have to do this for ASP). Could be you just need GD for image manipulation. I don't see a sample code otherwise. The GD site itself is confusing but then again i'm not too bright 😉

Thanks for all your help...I'm sure this will help a lot of people.
