Visitors Uploading Photos to Website and Editing Posted Information

I am creating a website that will function like Craiglist.  Visitors to my site will be able to list items and post pictures.  I would like for them to be able to edit and delete their posting and was wondering how I would go about doing this.  In addition, I require some assistance with creating a form that will allow them to upload photos.  I have been successful with creating a basic form, but am not sure how to do this so that photos can be uploaded.  I am using PHP.  If there are any tutorials or books that will help me through this process that would be great.

Thank you.

I tried this and I'm getting an error. Obviously I'm getting an error because of something I did wrong. I am going to try to figure out where I went wrong because that's how I learn.  However, before I can do that, I need a better understanding.  The form that I created has 11 fields (http://bridesmaidscloset.com/singleform.php). After visitors have completed the form, they are directed to another page where the results will be shown. I wanted to add an additional file field for the photos.  Should I also be including this field in my recordset on the results page? 

Thank you.

Given your original explaination it's obvious that you're saving the filename to a database.

Generally you would upload the file to the sever and save the file name to the database. Dreamweaver has server behaviors to insert, edit and delete records.
