Hi all!!!
This is my first post here so please feel free to move if it's in the wrong place :-)
Ok, i am just starting out in web development, and i have created a data entry form in DW CS3 and succesfully link it into MySQL (big deal for me!), the problems is i cannot get images to upload to the database. I am using CF locally and MySQL is also on the development machine.
So here's what i've got so far
So i'm thinking i must be missing a small command somewhere, but as i say i am a novice so if anyone out there can help me i'd be very grateful!!
Hope to hear from someone soon :-)
Thanks in advance!!

Couple of things here:
Use CFFILE to upload the files to the server.

You also need to change the form's encoding type to multipart. I have updated your code below:
