Maybe your difficulty mainly arises from trying to do two things with one form?
As a suggestion, this logic might make it easier... Display form1 showing choices of pictures on your server. Display another form2 with an "upload another pic" button. On submit form1: save the record and redirect. On submit form2: save the extra pic, then re-display the page including the extra pic.
