I did that with this script and it works fine, but the reason I am doing it is so I can then give the image which is uploaded the story ID. But for some reason I can't get it to work... here is the auto_increment script any ideas of how to add the ID to the image?????? I would be very great ful if you could amend the script (as I am a newb I can work things out once they have been done if that makes any sense)
