ok so what i want is the image path to be implemented in the database, but i dont understand how i can also include the speech marks for the image source. Heres my code:

<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=style.css>
<title>
Image Upload
</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include("header.php"); ?>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<center>
<div class=indexboxlarge>
<?php
$target_path = "images/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "<h1>";      
 echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded ";
echo "to gallery: ";
echo $_POST[gall];
echo "</h1>";   
echo "This page will refresh in 5 seconds to your gallery home";
include("dbcon.php");
SESSION_start();
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
dbcon();
$filename = basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$path = '<img src="images/$filename"/>';

mysql_query("INSERT INTO gallery 
(username, gallery, name, tag, path) VALUES('$username', '$_POST[gall]', 'no', '$_POST[tag]', '$path' ) ") 
or die(mysql_error());  
header('Refresh: 5; url=galleryhome.php');

} else{
echo "<h1>";    
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
echo "</h1>";   
echo "This page will refresh in 5 seconds to your gallery home";
header('Refresh: 5; url=galleryhome.php');

}

?>
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>

what are speech marks? i have never heard of that.

the html tag for the path of the image requires speech marks ("). However in the mysql query there are speech marks i think thats the problem, but i dont know how to fix it.

You don't store your quote marks in the db if you can help it. Once again you've buggered up your sql:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO gallery 
(username, gallery, name, tag, path) VALUES('$username', '$_POST[gall]', 'no', '$_POST[tag]', '$path' ) ")

You need to brace out or escape your variables!
You also need to quote your $_POST vars.

mysql_query("INSERT INTO gallery 
(username, gallery, name, tag, path) VALUES('{$username}', '{$_POST['gall']}', 'no', '{$_POST['tag']}', '{$path}' ) ")

Your output from DB will be (if your src data = $data['src'] for example):

echo "<img src=\"{$data['src']}\" .... />";
