Overwriting Image

[raouleduke]

I am having a problem with overwriting the images, I am trying to keep the image named the same, but it won't overwrite the exiting image.
Here is the code:

$file_dir = "/www/htdocs/images/cars";  

   $file_url = "images/cars";

   $query13 = "UPDATE inventory SET IMAGE_LOCATION = '$stock$name.jpg' WHERE VIN='$vin'"; 
   $result13 = mysql_query($query13); 
   copy ( "$IMAGE_LOCATION", "../../images/cars/$stock$name.jpg" ) or die ("Couldn't copy");

Thanks for any help,

You could delete it first = http://www.php.net/unlink.

Assuming the file_exists that is...

copy ( "$IMAGE_LOCATION", "....

$IMAGE_LOCATION variable is empty as it is column name.
