I got everything working on the edit information page even the delete picture and insert a new picture. However when I delete or insert a picture, every field in the details table dissapears, if it turns out to be a field that is editable then it gets replaced with a "/". Then I have to go back to the select page and reselect the product or click the back button and resubmit the information to get the page to look proper again. Here is my code, its rather long, because I have the delete and upload functions on the page with the rest of the information.

<?php
session_start();
include 'core/conection.php';
if(isset($_SESSION['user_id']))
{
    if(isset($_POST['delete']))
    {
        $id = $_POST['pic_id'];
        $query="DELETE FROM uploads WHERE pic_id='".$id."'";
        mysql_query($query,$con);

        $delFile = 'pics/' . $_POST['picName'];
        if (file_exists($delFile))
        {
            unlink($delFile);
            echo 'file has been removed';
        }else
        {
            echo 'file does not exist';
        }

    }

    if(isset($_POST['upload']))
    {
        $allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
        $extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
        if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
        || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
        || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
        || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg"))
        && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000000)
        && in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
        {
      if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
          {
            echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
          }else
          {
            echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
            echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
            echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";

            if (file_exists("pics/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
            {
              echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
            }else
            {
              move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
              "pics/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

               $path = $_FILES["file"]["name"];

              $sql = "INSERT INTO uploads (ref_id, name) VALUES('$_POST[refStk]', '$path')";
              if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
              {
                  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
              }else
              {
                 echo 'your picture has been uploaded';
             }
            }
          }
        }else
        {
          echo "Invalid file";
        }
    }
