The PHP online manual is pretty comprehensive on file uploads.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

You can get the name of the file from $_FILES['fieldName']['name']
(where 'fieldName' is the name of the form field that uploads the
image). It's just a question of using that information to insert into a
database.

I cover image file uploads in considerable detail in "PHP Solutions" if
you're interested in a more comprehensive approach.
