You can store the original name of the uploaded file in your news table by extracting it from the variable you use to save the image, so there is no need for the user to input . Check this link: http://us3.php.net/features.file-upload A better solution is to rename the image to the unique ID of the news article it's associated with (assuming there is only one image allowed per article). This helps eliminate the chances of overwriting an existing image without bothering the user with error messages. When I do this, I usually use the md5sum of the unique ID instead of the actual number. For example: $image_name = md5($article_id) . ".jpg"; -- Sincerely, A.J.
