This should work...

<?PHP
$allowed_ext = array(
		'.jpg',
		'.gif',
		'.pdf'
);

if( filesize( $_FILES['userfile']['size'] ) < 500001 && in_array( substr( $_FILES['userfile']['name'], strrpos( $_FILES['userfile']['name'], '.' ) ), $allowed_ext ) )
{
	if( is_uploaded_file( $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] ) )
	{
		if( @move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/' . $_FILES['userfile']['name'] ) )
		{
			echo 'File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.<br />';
			echo 'It is now included in the archive.<br />';
		}
		else
		{
			echo 'The upload was unsuccessful.<br />';
			echo 'Check file size and extension and then try again. If problem persists, contact the administrator.<br />';
		}

	print_r( $_FILES );
}
}
?>

After reading the article I was able to get images working well. Trying to do Thumbnails now.

I went to Borders and purchased the book by this guy. It is very good (in my opinion). Problem I had is that the new version of this book has been out for a while with PhP 4.xxx. When I got home I found that the version they sold me was over 2 years old. Beware. 🙂

Hope this helps.

I found this article by going to Yahoo and searching on "PhP & Images".

Quite a bit of info out there. Your next problem is do I save the images in directories on the server with a link in the database or save the images in a database. I choose saving the images in a database since I can backup and download the database from the server to my pc for testing on the exact data a customer sees.

This goes against the grain of most developers. Just to let you know it works both ways.

Good Luck.
