I've looked all over and have basically found the same code for this issue, but it doesn't work for me. I'm not a real programmer, more of a graphic artist who has had to learn stuff, so it is hard to figure this out.

I have a form. In the form there is an upload file code. I want to have the user click that, select the image he wants to put on the site (in a folder called 'pix') and have the name of the file written to my database (into a field called 'photo').

I simply can not figure out how to make the code I keep finding all over work for me. I rely on Dreamweaver for a lot of my PHP. Anyway, here is the entire page. How do I do this? I'm pulling my hair out.

Thanks.

Code:
<?php require_once('../Connections/blog.php'); ?>

<?php

  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
