Are you storing the image as a disk file on disk or in your database? (your
conditional statement above says, after moving the image from tmp to
$imagefile you have something about 'enter record into database')... I'm
wondering if you're attempting to read the image from the db and that could
be the source of your problem.

I've never had problems uploading files of anysize (up to four or five
megabytes in size - perhaps larger). One are I did have problems though was
when I tested an upload from remote, I found my Linksys router that I use as
a firewall screwed up the file in transit (I've still not resolved this
problem). Files less than a meg were fine - anything larger were
unzippable/unreadable/undoable.

Dunno if that helps you out in anyway....
