I figured it out... You can put everything in one file... <form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="imagefile" size="20">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <? if(isset( $Submit )) { if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/pjpeg"){ $extension=".jpg"; // define the base image dir $base_img_dir = "images/"; // generate unique id for use in filename $uniq = uniqid(""); // new file name $filename = $base_img_dir.$uniq.$extension; move_uploaded_file($_FILES["imagefile"]["tmp_name"], $filename) or die ("Could not copy"); echo ""; echo "Name: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].""; echo "Size: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['size'].""; echo "Type: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['type'].""; echo "Copy Done...."; } else { echo ""; echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].")"; } } .... and then whatever else you want it to do (be sure to include connecter to MySQL database). thanks to everyone who helped, especially http://www.evolt.org/article/Storage_and_re_use_of_images_using_PHP_GD_Part_1/20/27237/ "Matt Hedges" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello...
