What I have found that works, in PHP, is using a form that allows the
user to browse for a file or an image. Upon submitting the form the file
is uploaded to a set location on the web server and the name of the file
is added to the database.
When displaying the information associated with the image, write the php
page so it has the image tag and all you do is query the database for
the name of the file. Let php do the rest.
I realize this isn't a php list but this is what I have done in the
past. You can check the www.php.net newsgroups archives for steps on
accomplishing this task.
Good luck,
Jef
