Code: [ Select ]
 
$visitor = $visitor['visitor'];
$lovedone = $lovedone['lovedone'];
$comment = $comment['comment'];
 
  1.  
  2. $visitor = $visitor['visitor'];
  3. $lovedone = $lovedone['lovedone'];
  4. $comment = $comment['comment'];
  5.  


Should be
Code: [ Select ]
 
$visitor = $_POST['visitor'];
$lovedone = $_POST['lovedone'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
//Thanks for point it out George

  2. $visitor = $_POST['visitor'];

$visitor = $POST['visitor'];

$visitor = $_POST['visitor'];

I just thought that if the latter is the one we normally use?

Not to make what I have said sound mysery or anything. Well, the 'lazy' work I talked about is anything is stored in the server instead but renders through the database. I know that is not what you are looking for. /* if want to hear about it, still I am not embarrassed to share */

Thanks Rabid Dog.

I do not belive this, it has now stopped working.

The text data is being uploaded fine, and even the echos that I am running are fine, saying the correct image size, but the image is failing to upload, with only adding "[BLOB - 10 Bytes]" in the PHP MyAdmin view and when using the code (http://www.rabiddog.co.za/tutorial.php? ... usingMySQL) to view the images, there not viewing the latest images that I have uploaded.

Any ideas what could be coursing this?

What is not working? The uploading or the viewing?

I noticed that you removed
Code: [ Select ]
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">


From your form. Put it back in and try again. I think you might be restricted as to the file size you can upload.

Do you want to be able to upload images and view it on webpage. When necessary, you can also edit or delete the image? if this is what you want, I may be able to help.
