Well i found this piece of code and i am trying to alter it and understand it..

 

<?php

// Connect to database

$errmsg = "";
if (! @mysql_connect("localhost","****","*****")) {
        $errmsg = "Cannot connect to database";
        }
@mysql_select_db("kazi");

// Insert any new image into database

if ($_REQUEST[completed] == 1) {
        // Need to add - check for large upload. Otherwise the code
        // will just duplicate old file ;-)
        // ALSO - note that latest.img must be public write and in a
        // live appliaction should be in another (safe!) directory.
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'],"latest.img");
        $instr = fopen("latest.img","rb");
        $image = addslashes(fread($instr,filesize("latest.img")));
        if (strlen($instr) < 1500000) {
                mysql_query ("insert into pix (title, imgdata) values (\"".
                $_REQUEST[whatsit].
                "\", \"".
                $image.
                "\")");
        } else {
                $errmsg = "Too large!";
        }
}

// Find out about latest image

$gotten = @mysql_query("select * from pix order by pid desc limit 1");

if ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($gotten)) {
        $title = htmlspecialchars($row[title]);
        $bytes = $row[imgdata];
} else {
        $errmsg = "There is no image in the database yet";
        $title = "no database image available";
        // Put up a picture of our training centre
        $instr = fopen("../wellimg/ctco.jpg","rb");
        $bytes = fread($instr,filesize("../wellimg/ctco.jpg"));
}

// If this is the image request, send out the image

if ($_REQUEST[gim] == 1) {
        header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
        print $bytes;
        exit ();
        }
?>

<html><head>
<title>Upload an image to a database</title>
<body bgcolor=white><h2>Here's the latest picture</h2>
<font color=red><?= $errmsg ?></font>
<center><img src=?gim=1 width=144><br>
<b><?= $title ?></b></center>
<hr>
<h2>Please upload a new picture and title</h2>
<form enctype=multipart/form-data method=post>
<input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=1500000>
<input type=hidden name=completed value=1>
Please choose an image to upload: <input type=file name=imagefile><br>
Please enter the title of that picture: <input name=whatsit><br>
then: <input type=submit></form>
</body>
</head>
</html>

 

 

 

Well i would like to make it so it can view 10 at 1 time but this piece of code means nothing to me.. I have been programming for 2 months and i dont get this piece.. So maybe if you could explain more how everything works with a few comments and maybe help me add 10 more images to display.

Thanks
