Re: FN-FORUM: Can anyone help here

Hi

Thanks for the reply, you would not believe how many php help forums I have
been on with not one reply.

The problem is I have spent so much time on this, and then they ask for the
delete feature, basically because it makes it easier for them, but not for
me.

The way the site is set up is very basic, and I was hoping there would be a
simple solution.

The user logs in and they are then presented with a page which has a menu to
the left, on this menu that have 12 links to each calendar month, here they
upload there picture and this updates the database with the picture name,
while copying the image into their folder. This is great not a problem. But
I was hoping that I could change my code to look what the previous image was
then delete it and upload the fresh one.

The problem is the client wants it as easy as possible.

Thanks
