Hi Ian,

You sent us a script that has two forms and ask why it is not one form?
You can simply put both the fileupload part AND the regualer formfields in
one form.
You receiving script can do both action:
1) Insert the stuff in the database
2) If a file is uploaded, it takes the actions you want.

PHP is not stopping you from sending them both, neither is the browser/html.
Just try it.
