In the upload.php the lines 73 through 87 take the generated image thumbnail to store in a session, then it returns the file's id (which is just a random number) so it can be retrieved from session again later.

So instead of doing that you'll need to use the PHP function for saving the thumbnail image (which is stored in $new_img). You can find great information at the PHP.net website. Search for the "image" functions.

Saving the uploaded file is pretty easy and the PHP.Net has lots of information and discussion on saving uploaded files. The Sample Upload.php file shows how to do this as well.

i wish you could just post the line of code needed i have the same problem, but i cant figure out how to create the line of code needed to save the image server side.
