You really need to read the problem carefully before suggesting a solution. The question is regarding uploading files by dragging them on to a browser. This is not possible without an ActiveX control or Java applet, and even then you'll run into lots of security issues. -Stut

I am trying to create a document store that will allow people to upload documents to a website by dragging and dropping them on a certain section of the webpage.

I don't see how you could do that. You're talking about a client-side effect, when both ASP/PHP run server-side. Either could be used to receive the document, but you'd most likely want something like a Java applet on the page to drop onto.

Further, I would prefer that the documents be kept directly in the mySQL database as binaries.

That's simple enough, although I prefer to save files in the file-system and store a reference in the database. I find it faster that way. Niel
