Hi, it's me again. Your friendly neighbourhood voodoo doll. I'm having problems trying to write an upload script. I understand everything except the uploading of the files itself. here is a basic Psuedocode of the CGI document i want to run off of. 
Start of the Form
Checkboxes for $Color and $Pattern and $Installation
Radio buttons for $Type
2 upload boxes one for $thumbnail and one for $screenres

Restrictions on $thumbnail upload. 
->must be under 50k, 
->must end in td.jpg, 
->must match the file name of $screenres once you take off tn.jpg

Restrictions on $screenres upload.
->must be under 500k
->must end in sr.jpg,
->must match the file name of $thumbnail once you take off sc.jpg

$thumbnail goes to the folder '/images/thumbnails/'
$screenres goes to the folder '/images/screenres/'

$name = $thumbnail minus tn.jpg or $screenres minus sc.jpg

finnally a line is appended to the end of the db file '/cgi/scfrom.db'
'$name|$color|$pattern $installation|$type|$thumbnail|$screenres|#Chec
+k Needed Here#'

pending that the two files match and exist, the script then completes 
+it's task
once the form is submitted

I can do everything there, except i am too confused/frustrated/new to understand how to upload the files. Please Help.
