I fixed that error by making the database connection before the $picture = mysql_real_escape_string($picture);
And the pics upload into the database. but now I get this crazy scramble in my posting where the picture should be:
�K�Zl�Y��_?�u!��b�c�wS���W���?H��#6ۿ�oLx.��������_y��o�g�zV�B��پ����u )���g�_�ϪO����V�IJ��k��^緤���?ө����]���K��8��]w�܆�6�6fuPk7���������`o����
Ever seen this before?
;D Thanks
