Visitors Can't Upload Pictures - Why?

[KenGuam]

I am building a site that will include picture uploads. When I try I get this msg:

"could not update mysql database with uploaded image location"

What do I need to do to get these pictures in?? This is the site so far:

Also, there is a table at the site called SEARCH REFLECTIONS when I select a letter the REFLECTION does not come up. Any suggestions here? I am really, really, really, new to all this so ANY and ALL information to point me in the right direction would GREATLY be appreciated. I've have been working on this for over 2 months now, and I feel I am getting close. Geeting excited about the ability to call it a completed work.

Thank All of You in Advance!

I have tried your site and my findings are:

• I uploaded a picture of 552KB and it uploaded fine.
• I could see my entry in the overview.
• searching: I could only search with letter R and got one result, not my own.
• all other searches (other letters) failed, i.e. no results.

So it works sometimes and sometimes not. Reasons could be:

• image upload:
  - you uploaded the image to a server location/folder that cannot be reached by the MySQL server
  - the uploaded image is too large and the upload failed, so MySQL could not find the image on the server.
• search: sometimes it works fine, as I proved. So there must be something wrong in your search mechanism.

In all above: show your code. And, if you do, please enclose it within code or php tags!!
