are the files being uploaded using a form? if so maybe within the pictures directory it should sort into the correct states folder on upload it would be alot easier.

if not then you would be needing to have some indication in those file names to do with states so that they can be picked up on

also this should have some indication of the array number but there maybe not be a need for the"[]" at the end try it without see if that helps

$pix[0]=$r["pix"];
 
or
 
$pix=$r["pix"];

if you need help you will have to post the majority of your code from start to finish so we can see your process

Your code looks fine from my quick scan. No anfetienne, his array is fine, your code would break it.

Just try printing $file and see what's inside it. Do a little debugging and tell us where the problem is, instead of just saying "IT doesn't Work" and run around with your hands in the air :)
