Anybody has an idea about what happened to me ? The following script should just charge in a mysql db the images located in a directory. Unfortunately everytime I call "readdir.php" (never mind if there are or not new images) mysql is charging 2 or 6 copies of the same last image uploaded into the directory. Anybody may explain to me where I'm failing? Thanks for all the phpers!
