That's a browser/image type issue. If you're trying it with a JPEG image (as the
message title suggests) then it's a browser issue -- your browser doesn't handle
JPEG files due to local settings, and starts up the paint program instead. If
you're trying with some other image type (such as TIFF for instance) then this
is normal behaviour, because browsers don't generally understand other formats
than GIF, JPEG and maybe BMP and PNG, depending on the browser.
Since you seem to be using a JPEG image after all, you should check your
browser's file associations (I don't know what's the browser you're using) and
remove the association with the paint program for JPEG's.

To all,
The following is a file upload question using PHP.
I am able to upload a file to my server with the following script. (see
below)
It's in two parts - the first is a html form and the second is the php
script which takes the variable $img1_name.
However, I'd like to check if, in fact, the file was uploaded to the server.
The only way I can check this is to copy and paste the pathname that I
upoloaded in the browser's window like:
c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/reservoirphoto.jpg
When I do that the photo does load - however it loads in a paint program I
use like PaintShopPro - not as a file within the browser.
The question is this...in the textbook I'm reading (Julie Meloni - PHP Fast
and Easy - page 174), it says that:
(I can) use the File / Open Page / menu item in your web browser to
navigate through your filesystem and find the file you uploaded.
The screenshot in the book has the .jpg file photo *within* the browser
screen - not by itself in a paint program.
Can anybody assist me in this?
Thanking all in advance.
