Hello, thanks so much for responding. The permissions are all OK.
Here is the hmtl form(slightly truncated - with the old data from the table called up with php echos):
<form action="news2.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="id" VALUE='<?php echo $row['id'] ?>'><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="350000"><tr>
<?php echo "<img src='files/news1.jpg'>"; ?><br /><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000" />Choose picture: <input name="news1" type="file" /><?php echo $row['section1'] ?></textarea></td>
</table><p><input name="upload" type="submit" value="Upload changes">
Which is passed on to a new page:
<?php
$section1=$_POST['section1'];
$section2=$_POST['section2'];
$section3=$_POST['section3'];
$section4=$_POST['section4'];
$target_path = "files/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['news1']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['news1']['tmp_name'], 'files/news1.jpg');
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
if (!$con)
{
die('Can't connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("database", $con);
$query = "UPDATE news SET section1='$section1', section2='$section2', section3='$section3', section4='$section4' WHERE id='$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
header ( 'Location: http://www.website.com/newsc.php' );
// close connection
mysql_close();
?>
