The script is generating a filename based on the id and then copies the
file from somewhere to the new location. It's doing just what it's
supposed to. IF you don't want it to do it, just use the following
instead:
//
// Insert the photo details into the database
//
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO photo
(id,galleryid,title,size_in_MB,person,filename,description)
VALUES
('','$galleryid','$title','$size_in_MB','$person','$photo',
'$description')
");
That should do it. You should be using the $photo variable as the
filename and not moving anything. Of course this doesn't address the
thumbnail issue, but you get the idea.
