Update a BLOB

[buffy]

My old script that worked is in the first post.

This inserted a BLOB into the database. With the new script I am trying to:

1) upload the file to the server folder structure
2) insert the filename into the image field in the product table

(Which I assume my modified example code should be doing)

Also my hoster told me file_uploads is on... I'm not sure why the $_FILES array is empty. The form isn't inside another form, the method is POST and the field is named as per the code (picture1).... is should be outputting something like:

[picture1] => Array
(
[name] => filename.jpg
... etc
)

Just thinking about it I will need to create another field in the DB to store the filename varchar (rather then a BLOB). .... edit: Have now done this, though still getting the notice about picture1 not being defined and the array being empty.

$picture1=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['picture1']); shouldn't be stipping anything in the filename either? According to my error its got nothing to strip anyway

Will keep looking as it must be something simple to get me past this early stage.
