Hey Menster,

I have looked at the $toPost variable using print_r() but the thing is I don't need just some of the information from the XML I need all of it including the element tags as well.

For generally learning PHP I would suggest just picking up a few tuts on...

I've never stored images as BLOB in a DB as every article I've ever read says to not do. I find it much easier (once you learn it) just storing the path in the database and storing the actual files...

Hey Nzaman,

Everything I say has to be qualified with a 'it depends on your exact needs' statement.

One of the best things about PHP is that it is free and open source (no I'm not an open...

Thanks very much. I'll use the file you uploaded on Monday and will post if it works or not in case a few other people are having a similar problem.

Thanks again.
