Can somebody please look and my code and try and figure it out...Below is the code for the two pages:

When you update the database with the filename as I have written, it will end up putting the entire path that the user originaly had precedding the file that was submitted. To fix this, I use javascript to parse the File name out of the path.
Let me know if you have any questions or if anything needs more explanation
