Jochem,
I cannot believe you spent this much time helping me with this. I really appreciate it. I will go through and make ALL those changes. I am grateful. Especially the changes which cleaned up jibberish and tightened from several lines to one - really! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello,
Recently with the help of several of you I got a script working. It's
complex, I'm still new, some parts of it came from other authors and I
adapted it, and generally despite the fact that it seems to work
perfectly at this point, I am certain that there is bloat, repetition
and simply useless crap.

I'd like to know if anyone can have a look and help me optimize what I
have. For example, there are several mysql queries - would it be
possible to combine them somehow? I use the image upload section twice
because I couldn't figure out how to make it work using different vars
within the same section. That kind of newbie stuff.

The code is here: http://hashphp.org/pastebin.php?pid=3701



# <?php
#
#  require_once('nscfg.php');
#
#  //Initialize vars
#  $query = '';
#  $dropdown = '';
#  $result = 0;
#  $errors = array();
#  $msgArray  = array();
#  $msgText = '';

be neat, it helps:

$query          = '';
$dropdown    = '';
$result      = 0;

#
#   $query = 'SELECT art.*,publisher.*
#     FROM art,subject,publisher,series
#     GROUP BY publisher_name';

make good (ab)use of alignment (your style may differ ;-)

$query = 'SELECT art.*,
                 publisher.*
      FROM art,
               subject,
           publisher,
           series
      GROUP BY publisher_name';

// ps - why is 'series' & 'subject' in there?

#
#   $subject_query = 'SELECT art.*,subject.*
#     FROM art,subject
#     GROUP BY subject_name';
#
#   $series_query = 'SELECT art.*,series.*
#     FROM art,series
#     GROUP BY series_name';
#
#   $media_query = 'SELECT media_id,media_name
#     FROM media
#   GROUP BY media_name';
#
#  $result = mysql_query($query);
#  $media_result = mysql_query($media_query);
#  $subject_result = mysql_query($subject_query);
#  $series_result = mysql_query($series_query);
#

instead of creating 4 result identifiers, run and loop thru 1 at a time,
its allows you to reuse a single $result var (as well as being better in other ways)

#  $dropdown_publishers = '<select name="publisher">';
#  while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
# $dropdown_publishers .= '<option value="' . $rows['publisher_id'] . '">' . htmlentities($rows['publisher_name']);
#  }
#  $dropdown_publishers .= '</select>';


here is a candidate for a function:

buildOptionList($name, $result, $valKey, $nameKey)
{
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        $dropdown[] = '<option value="'
                    . htmlentities($row[$valKey], ENT_QUOTES)
                 . '">'
            . htmlentities($row[$nameKey], ENT_QUOTES)
            . '</option>'; // options have closing tags
    }

    return '<select name="' . $name . '">' .
           join('',$dropdown) . '</select>';
}

#
#
#  $dropdown_subject = '<select name="subject">';
#  while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($subject_result)){

                                                     ^- white space?

# $dropdown_subject .= '<option value="' . $rows['subject_id'] . '">' . htmlentities($rows['subject_name']);
#  }
#  $dropdown_subject .= '</select>';
#
# $dropdown_series = '<select name="series"><option value="">Select A Series</option>';

maybe a bit condescending, besides if the user can't grok
