I would go with Ray's approach but depends how many images are we
talking here..

Otherwise another path is similar to Ray's idea and you can count and
keep the images to be uploaded in an array and finally rename each image
with the array id and store the same name in database table mapped with
a property id. 

Thanks.

Subject: Re: multiple image uploads

I'd go the separate table route with the image file name and the propID.

However, I've done quite a few RE sites, and the system that I use only 
allows them to upload 10 images per listing.  So, what I do is add 10 
image fields (image1, image2, ..., image10) to the listings table. 
That's just me, if you think this thing is going to morph into something

bigger, or you are going to allow arbitrary amounts of images, this 
approach obviously won't work for you.

to associate with an existing db entry. I have a little app I'm building
for a commercial real estate company to display property listings and
their pertinent info, I'm wondering about the logic behind doing
multiple photos uploads to tie into a single propertyID. My intial
thought was to use a simple text field to store the image name, but in
my current thought processes this only works for single image uploads. I
was thinking about possibly adding another table to store PropertyID
along with imageID and names that way but I fear I might be making this
more complicated than it needs to be .... any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
