So, I'm not really sure on how to do this. I guess the biggest challenge is actually accessing the file on the users computer via the browser. This is what I'm building.

It is a shopping cart. One of the features the administrator can have is the ability to add, edit, remove products from the list. When adding a product, he\she will have the ability to upload a picture along side with all the product information.

So, what I need to do is have the ability to upload the picture onto the server. I do not really care if the picture is stored inside of the database or in some kind of an image directory.

I tried looking at some tutorials but they were not what I was looking for. I admit, I am terrible at searching for these kinds of things... I have this google.com disability I was born with.

If anyone could explain the process of reading files from ausers computer that they specify in an input box, I would really appreciate it. If not, some kind of a tutorial would be a life saver at this point. I couldent find anything on the forums


I would usualy post my ideas of how I'm thinking of doing this, but I have none at this point. I am totaly stumped. Anyone?

Thanks a bunch
