I've finally done it!

After Tim pointed out that the file field could be accessed by the variable $filefield_name. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Thanks.

I've just made a single page that:

-inserts a record and uploads a file
-keeps the filename
-adds the directory (photos/) to the filename and then inserts the whole path into the database.

I've also made the update page that:

-updates the record (obviously)
-the user can upload another file to over-write the old record
-or if they don't upload another file, the same photo data is kept.

I'm very proud as this is my first real bit of if/else coding without any help.

If anyone wants it let me know and i'll post it here.

Cheers.

Congratulations!

There's nothing better than the satisfaction of doing something like this for the first time.

Perhaps you would consider writing a tutorial? Explaining how you did it? I'm sure that many people would appreciate it <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sure! I don't know how dodgy the code is but it works <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you want to post the code I would certainly be interested of feel free to e-mail me a copy as well.

I will endevour to write a simple tutorial about this.
The code is at work and I'm on a break until Jan 2nd.

I'll send it out and upload it as soon as i get in.

Cheers.

<font face='Arial'>Hello Aaron,

I need to do the same thing, Ive been looking everywhere for bit of code, yours sounds perfect. I am also using dreamweaver and I need to make a simple image upload system.
