[suspicious - maybe spam] Re: [PHP-DB] Reg Exp to change c:\dir\dir\pic.jpg to dir/pic.jpg - to upload image path

hi you don't have to bother your self of such things. html does it all for you. All you have to do is manage the uploaded file which is put as a temporary file on the server temporary folder. Here's some tip: temporary file in your server: $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] name of your file (the uploaded): $_FILES["file"]["name"] now use move_uploaded_file function to where ever location you want to put your file on your server. http://ph.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php cheers!
