uploading photo files using browse button

[tracy]

Is there a way to upload files giving the browser the option of using the browse button to select a specific file from the computer?  If so, a tutorial or some brief instructions would be great.

I am using a MySQL database and will be inserting the photos (jpeg) into it...for recall and display later (thumbnailed)...

I feel I have a grasp on the insert and display portion, just not the browse button feature...thanks.

Have you tried searching google for [i]php file upload tutorials[/i]? I got 1,330,000 hits.

You just use an input field with type="file"

However, you may want to consider only saving the location & name of the file in the database.

Yes, but the several tutorials that I tried had no info on the browse thing...I was hoping for a few other keywords or a specific tutorial that someone knew worked...thanks.

and this will automatically bring up the browse button, right? 

thanks.

Not to be mean, but it'd take about as long to create a form with a type="file" input and test it yourself as it did for you to ask if it's what you wanted.
