Database Image Upload

Question

I have been trying to figure out how i can upload an image to
a specific folder and also have that same upload linked with an
insert statement into my sql database.
An example would be i want to add a user to my database and
the insert record would have all the contact details for the person
and also they upload an image of themselves for security reasons.
so i want the insert resord to add the image name and
extension to the database record along with their details and have
the image uploaded to a specific location.
I think this is possible ive just been frying my brain for
the past couple of days and cant figure it out, so any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi Dixiegal thanks for your reply
what i have done so far is that i can allow the user to
upload an image to the correct location, so that on my first page i
have the file field where the user can select the file from their
hard drive and then click on upload.
once the click upload they are sent to another page called
uploaded_file.cfm and on that page i have simply got the cffile tag
and a textbox (displays the filename that was uploaded)
what i want it to do is once they click upload on the first
page that the image name is updated in the record on the database
and then the user is re-directed to another page automatically.
i have added the code i have at the minute on the second page
below
<cfparam name="URL.ID" default="1">
<cfset CurrentPage=GetFileFromPath(GetTemplatePath())>
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.MM_UpdateRecord") AND
FORM.MM_UpdateRecord EQ "form1">
<cfquery datasource="my_datasource">
UPDATE dbo.mytable
SET main_image=
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.main_image") AND #FORM.main_image#
NEQ "">
<cfqueryparam value="#FORM.main_image#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_clob" maxlength="50">
<cfelse>
</cfif>
WHERE ID=
<cfqueryparam value="#FORM.ID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
</cfquery>
<cflocation url="product_detail_edit.cfm?ID=#URL.ID#">
</cfif>
<cfquery name="rs_image" datasource="my_datasource">
SELECT ID, *
FROM dbo.table
WHERE ID =
<cfqueryparam value="#URL.ID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
</cfquery>
<cffile action="upload"
destination="..\images\products\"
nameConflict="overwrite"
fileField="Form.FiletoUpload">
<cfoutput></cfoutput></p>
<form method="post" name="form1"
action="uploaded_file.cfm">
<table align="center">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right">ID:</td>
<td><cfoutput>#rs_image.ID#</cfoutput></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right">Main_image:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="main_image"
value="<cfoutput>#cffile.ClientFileName#.#cffile.ClientFileExt#</cfoutput>"
size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right"> </td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Update
record"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="ID"
value="<cfoutput>#rs_image.ID#</cfoutput>">
<input type="hidden" name="MM_UpdateRecord"
value="form1">
</form>
again your help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
