Upload picture

[MMitchell]

I am trying to make a page where my users can enter a person's name then, otpionally, upload a picture of them. And then write it all to the database and "deal" with the picture.

I allready have the working code for entering a name and storing it in my MySQL database, but I don't have a clue as how to deal with the "optional" picture upload and subsequent "dealing" with that file.

I would appreciate any sample code to upload the picture and storeing the reference along with the name that was entered. And any other suggestions.

Thanks.

Which part of it is troubling you?

Pointers:
You use an input type=file form element to upload the file; Make sure your form is:<form action=\"index.php\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" method=\"POST\">

Use [man]move_uploaded_file[/man] to move the file to a specific location
Add a filename to the record in the database

with print_r($_FILES); you can see all the information that was sent for the file, after uploading (In the processing page, so to speak)
