Hi.

I'm having a problem with some image uploading code. It's driving me crazy, cause on one script it works fine while on this new one, it doesn't work :(

Here's the code... 

for($i = 1; $i <= 11; $i++) {
  $pcaption = $fr{"caption$i"};
  $paction = $fr{"action$i"};
  $photo = $fr{"photo$i"};

  if($paction eq 'delete') { unlink("../../listing/$ident-$fr{listingi
+d}-$i.jpg"); }

  if($photo ne '') {
    $photodir = ">../../listing/$ident-$fr{listingid}-$i.jpg";
    $fh = $q->upload("photo$i");
    open(PFILE, $photodir);
    while(<$fh>) { print PFILE; }
    close(PFILE);
  }

  $sth = $dbh->prepare("insert into listing_photo values ( '$ident', $
+fr{listingid}, $i, '$pcaption' )");
  $sth->execute;
  $sth->finish;
}

Now, when I upload an image, it does create the file in the 'listing' folder but it doesn't upload any data. It creates a blank image file :( Why?? I can't seem to find where the problem is.

Please help.

Thanks,
Ralph.
