Solved: Upload images to a MySQL database (PHP) doesn't work in IE 8

So I was testing out the insert image code from : http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Upload_images_to_a_MySQL_database__PHP_-16609.html

It works great in IE 6 and IE 7, but not in IE 8.

Here is the code:
<?php define ('MAX_FILE_SIZE', 1024 * 50); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/testConn.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "uploadImage")) {
  
  // make sure it's a genuine file upload
  if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'])) {
  
	// replace any spaces in original filename with underscores
	$filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $_FILES['image']['name']);
	// get the MIME type
	$mimetype = $_FILES['image']['type'];
	if ($mimetype == 'image/pjpeg') {
		$mimetype= 'image/jpeg';
	}
	// create an array of permitted MIME types
	$permitted = array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png');
	
	// upload if file is OK
	if (in_array($mimetype, $permitted) 
		&& $_FILES['image']['size'] > 0 
		&& $_FILES['image']['size'] <= MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
	  switch ($_FILES['image']['error']) {
		case 0:
		  // get the file contents
		  $image = file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
		  // get the width and height
		  $size = getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
		  $width = $size[0];
		  $height = $size[1];

  
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO images (filename, mimetype, caption, image, width, height) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($filename, "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($mimetype, "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['caption'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($image, "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($width, "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($height, "int"));

  mysql_select_db($database_testConn, $testConn);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $testConn) or die(mysql_error());
		  if ($Result1) {
			$result = "$filename uploaded successfully.";
		  } else {
			$result = "Error uploading $filename. Please try again.";
		  }
		  break;
		case 3:
		case 6:
		case 7:
		case 8:
		  $result = "Error uploading $filename. Please try again.";
		  break;
		case 4:
		  $result = "You didn't select a file to be uploaded.";
	  }
	} else {
	  $result = "$filename is either too big or not an image.";
	}
  }
}
