inputting into db and uploading a pic

[msnhockey]

I am trying to uplaod a picture via my artictles system I have in the back end.

I have the db set up as follows

id, date, title, summary, article, image, league, team1, team2

when i upload the pic i want it to resize to 480x285

here is the code i have so far, but cant get anything to input/upload

$UPLOADED_PHOTO ="";

$uploaddir = "./images/news/";
$uploadthumb = "./images/news/thumb/";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
$uploadthumbfile = $uploadthumb . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
include('./includes/SimpleImage.php');

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
	$image = new SimpleImage();
	$image->load($uploadfile);	
	$image->resize(480,285);
	$image->save($uploadfile);
	$UPLOADED_PHOTO = basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
	$thumb = new SimpleImage();
	$thumb->load($uploadfile);
	$thumb->resize(35,25);
	$thumb->save($uploadthumbfile);
}else{
	$UPLOADED_PHOTO = $_POST['PHOTO'];
}

any help on where to try next is appriciated or if you have another solution I am all game to try it out

thanks in advance

}else{
	$UPLOADED_PHOTO = $_POST['PHOTO'];
}

That else is occurring because the upload failed. I'd want to put something there that said so, and that dumped whatever data about the transaction I could obtain. Perhaps a [man]var_dump/man of the POST array?
