PHP - Never Did This Before, So Seeking Form / Uploading Images Help ...

I want users to be allowed to upload images to a table in a database but I cannot seem to find a suitable way to implementing using the code I already have, here is the code below;

Code: [Select]
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

require_once ('./includes/config.inc.php');

require_once (MYSQL);

$add_cat_errors = array();

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
if (!empty($_POST['product']))
{
$prod = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['product']));
}
else
{
$add_cat_errors['product'] = 'Please enter a Product Name!';
}

if (filter_var($_POST['prod_descr']))
{
$prod_descr = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['prod_descr']));
}
else
{
$add_cat_errors['prod_descr'] = 'Please enter a Product Description!';
}

// Check for a category:
if (filter_var($_POST['cat'], FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array('min_range' => 1))) {
$catID = $_POST['cat'];
} else { // No category selected.
$add_page_errors['cat'] = 'Please select a category!';
}

if (filter_var($_POST['price']))
{
$price = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['price']));
}
else
{
$add_cat_errors['price'] = 'Please enter a Product Description!';
}

if (filter_var($_POST['stock']))
{
$stock = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, strip_tags($_POST['stock']));
}
else
{
$add_cat_errors['stock'] = 'Please enter a Product Description!';
}

if (empty($add_cat_errors))
{
$query = "INSERT INTO product (product, prod_descr, catID, price, image, stock) VALUES ('$prod', '$prod_descr', '$catID', '$price', '$image', '$stock')";
$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $query);
if (mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1)
{
echo '<p>Record Successfully Added!!!!!</p>';
$_POST = array();
}
else
{
trigger_error('OH NOOOOO!!!!');
}
}
}

require_once ('./includes/form_functions.inc.php');
?>

<form action="add_product.php" method="post">
Product Name: <?php create_form_input('product', 'text', $add_cat_errors);?>
Product Description: <?php create_form_input ('prod_descr', 'text', $add_cat_errors);?>
Category: <select name="cat"<?php if (array_key_exists('cat', $add_cat_errors))?>>
<option>Select a Category</option>
<?php $q = "SELECT catID, cat FROM category ORDER BY cat ASC";
$r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_NUM))
{
echo "<option value=\"$row[0]\"";
if (isset($_POST['cat']) && ($_POST['cat'] == $row[0]))
echo 'selected="selected"';
echo ">$row[1]</option>\n";
}
?>
Price: <?php create_form_input('price', 'text', $add_cat_errors);?>
Upload an Image: <?php if(array_key_exists('image', $add_cat_errors))
{
echo '<input type="file" name="image" />';
} ?>
Stock: <?php create_form_input('stock', 'text', $add_cat_errors);?>

<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="ADD RECORD" />
</form>
Everything else writes perfectly but I have been trying ways to create a file upload and write successfully to the database. The 'image' field has a data type of 'varchar'.

I apologise immensely for the long winded explanation but if anyone could help me please that would be much appreciated.

Hey,


I was wondering if there is a way to use PHP to resize images when they are a above a size limit?


Im not referring to file size here, but rather the width by height ratio. As currently i upload images and echo them with:


Code: [Select]
style="width:250px;height:200px;"

But this means my server is loading large images when i would rather resize them down upon upload to reduce loading times...


Is this possible in php ?

Hi

I am creating an e commerce website and I have been using a php dummies book to help me as I am a beginner. I am creating an e commerce website and I have created a page which consists of radio buttons where a user will be able to choose what type of shoe they would like to view. Once they have chosen the radio button and then clicked onto the show me button the type of shoe shown should be the same as the type they have chosen but no shoes are showing on the webpage. I am unsure if i have not entered the format correct in the image section of the database. Here is the code which i have created so far:

/* Select shoes the type specified*/
 $query = "SELECT * FROM products
             WHERE prod_type=\"{$_POST['interest']}\"";    
 $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query)
           or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

 /* Display results in a table */
 echo "<table cellspacing='10' border='1' cellpadding='87'
              width='100%'>";
 echo "<tr><td colspan='5' style='text-align: right'>
             Click on any picture to see a larger
                 version. <hr /></td></tr>\n";
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))           
 {
   $f_price = number_format($row['product_price'],2);

   
             
 
   /* display row for each shoe */
   echo "<tr>\n";
   echo " <td>{$row['product_id']}</td>\n";
   echo " <td style='font-weight: bold;
            font-size: 1.1em'>{$row['product_name']}</td>\n";
   echo " <td>{$row['product_description']}</td>\n";
   
   echo "<tr><td colspan='5'><hr /></td></tr>\n";
 }
 echo "</table>\n";
 echo "<div style='text-align: center'>
       <a href='shoes_list.php'>
             <h3>See more shoes</h3></a></div>";
?>

in my database the product_image column the field just contains the file name e.g: heels.jpg.

please can anyone help me to get the images displayed.. thank you

I am trying to add a second image upload to a form I have, but I can't figure out how to get the insert statement and upload statement working properly. The first file uploads and inserts to the database properly, but can anyone tell me how to add a second image to the mix? Here is what I currently have:


Code: [Select]
//if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
//|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
//|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
//&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
//  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    //echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    //echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    //echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    //echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";


     if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      //echo "Stored in: " . "http://www.webdesignsbyliz.com/wdbl_wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten_2/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
     
     $image = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
     
      $query = "INSERT INTO gallery VALUES ('', '$cut', '$color', '$carats', '$clarity', '$size', '$metal', '$other', '$total', '$certificate', '$value', '$image', '$name', '$desc', '$item_no', '$type', '$image2')";
$query_res = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
      }
    }


I thought I could simply add a second move_uploaded_file line and replace "file" with "file2" (the name of my second file upload field from the form), but it's not working. Can anyone tell me the right way to do this, please? Thanks in advance! I'm not experienced with file uploads yet :-(

Hi guys, I have a website that I created and it has the ability to upload images to a directory that is located in the same web server, but there are so many images now and it is taking too much space. What I am trying to do now is for the script to upload the images to a different server but don't want to run FTP on that second server if I don't need to. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thank you guys in advanced,

I have a php website  with two parts the client part and an admin part
in the client part or the viewers end , i need to show the details of products  with description and an image (in the front page).
The details are entered though the admin part.

My problem is the image uploaded goes to the folder in the admin folder but in the home page the images are taken from the images folder suitated in outside the admin folder . How can i upload images or photos to the folder outside the admin though the admin pages.
Pasting my code here

Code: [Select]
$target = "pics/";  [color=red]//this is created in the admin folder, i need to change here that is keep the folder outside the admin folde[/color]r
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);
  $image=$pic;
                                                          $box_num =$_POST['box_num'];
                   $query11 = "update photo_table set  page_head='$page_head',image='$image' where id='$box_num'";
  $result11 = mysql_query($query11);

  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; }
   }else {
   
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
  }
}
  }

I developped a cms system to upload images with php to a mysql database and a upload folder on the server.
Firefox version 5.0.1 for MAC and earlier have no problems with uploading through the script. But after that version it is impossible to upload images bigger then 250kb. The page where the customer chooses his image for upload stalls and the form is not sent to the actual upload script, which should validate and process the image. This problem only occurs in Firefox, all other browsers work just fine!
I tried to run the same script with Firefox on a PC and everything works fine. So it is a Mac related problem.

You can try for yourself to see what happens in the following basic script (if you don't get a succes message it means that you are still hanging on the image_upload page and nothing has happened) :

Hi

I am trying to upload images and add the details to a database, the problem I have is the photos are not being uploaded or added to the database but the page is redirecting to the next page in the process I have.

The images are selected using this code
Code: [Select]
<?php
include("config.inc.php");

// initialization
$photo_upload_fields = "";
$counter = 1;

// default number of fields
$number_of_fields = 10;

// If you want more fields, then the call to this page should be like, 
// preupload.php?number_of_fields=20

//if( $_GET['number_of_fields'] )
//$number_of_fields = (int)($_GET['number_of_fields']);

// Lets build the Photo Uploading fields
while( $counter <= $number_of_fields )
{
$photo_upload_fields .=<<<__HTML_END
<tr>
<td>
     Photo {$counter}:
    <input name=' photo_filename[]' type='file' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
     Title:
    <input name='photo_title[]' type="text" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
__HTML_END;
$counter++;
}
?>

html code for page look and feel

<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='upload.php' method='post' name='upload_form'>
<table width='90%' border='0' align='center' style='width: 90%;'>

<!-Insert the photo fields here -->
<?php echo $photo_upload_fields;?>

        <input name="lot_id" type="text" value="<?php echo $lot_id; ?>" /><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Add Photos' />

</form>
and then uploaded with this

}
}
$counter++;
}

// redirect to Add Vehicle Damage
header("Location: vehicle-damage.php");
?>

It is however redirecting to the header indicated at the bottom of the page.

I can't see why the photos are not uploading or being added to the database.

Hi All,

This has been driving me crazy for a while now. I was on an older version of PHP and everything was working fine but a few weeks ago my hosting upgraded the PHP to version 5 (I think) and I have started to get problems. I have a form that is completed and also 5 images can be added and then submitted which should save it to the database. But the images are not being saved anymore.

I have attached the code that I am using and it did work before.

On another note I was having a problems with the other fields on the forms where characters such as ! or , etc would cause problems. I got over this by using '.mysql_real_escape_string'. Should I be doing something like this for the images that I want to upload?

I hope I am making sense.

Thanks

Hi
Im working on a market place style website. the framework im using is called elgg. it uses an algoritm to find the right approximate width and height of an image thats being uploaded. but on my site, all heights and widths must be the same. this is difficult because some pictures have much greater width than height and some have much greater height. so whats the best algoritm to use to make an accurate thumbnail of all images uploaded?
Thanks

                        WHERE `user_id` = {$_SESSION['uid']}";
       
        mysql_query($sql);
       
}

Below I have returned the array of files to check if its been uploaded correctly.
Array ( [avatar] => Array ( [name] => Sonic.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/php.waq8n [error] => 0 [size] => 48477 ) )

But I get this error message.
Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg() [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: '/var/tmp/php.waq8n' is not a valid JPEG file in /web/stud/u0963643/userprofilesection/finaluserprofile/core/inc/user.inc.php on line 71

If someone could point out where in this code I have made an error I would be very grateful

Thanks

hi,

i'm trying to create simple form that will also upload only xml data.

first, the user will need to upload an xml document only by clicking submit, the data will be posted to the server and the user will be redirected to uploader.php. This PHP file is going
to process the form data and do all the work.


#upload.php

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<body>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500" />
Please select the correct file that you require to create an XML export.
<br/>
<label for="uploadfile">Filename:</label>
<input name="uploadfile" type="file" size="100"/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />

</form>



</body>

</html> 


second, i'd like to process the data and post the information to another php document that will parse the xml document.

this particular file is not getting past the first if statement. i'm not really seeing why???


#uploader.php

<?php
//File upload restrictions parameters
//Will only restrict to allowing xml documents to be uploaded


if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application
/xml")
    {
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
        {
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
        }
    else
        {
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";


//Save the uploaded files to a directory
//If the file already exists with the same date stamp, do not upload
        if (file_exists("../upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
            {
            echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
            }
//If the file does not exist, create a new entry
        else
            {
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
            "../upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
            echo "Stored in: " . "../upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
            }
        }
    }
//Create an error messag
else
    {
    echo "This is an invalid file. Please make sure an XML document has been selected to upload. Thanks.";
    }


// make an error handler which will be used if the upload fails
function error($error, $location, $seconds = 20)
{
        header("Refresh: $seconds; URL=\"$location\"");
        echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'."\n".
        '"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">'."\n\n".
        '<html lang="en">'."\n".
        '       <head>'."\n".
        '               <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">'."\n\n".
        '               <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">'."\n\n".
        '       <title>Upload error</title>'."\n\n".
        '       </head>'."\n\n".
        '       <body>'."\n\n".
        '       <div id="Upload">'."\n\n".
        '               <h1>Upload failure</h1>'."\n\n".
        '               <p>An error has occured: '."\n\n".
        '               <span class="red">' . $error . '...</span>'."\n\n".
        '               The upload form is reloading</p>'."\n\n".
        '        </div>'."\n\n".
        '</html>';
        exit;
} // end error handler

?>


third, once the simple file parses the information.. i'd like to display a dropdown menu that will allow a person to select what entry they'd like to be displayed, namely page to be redirected to.


#dropdown.php

<?php
$drop = $_REQUEST['dropdown'];
?>



<html>
<body>

<form action="results.php" method="POST" name="links">
<select name="dropdown" value="options">
<option value"form.php">Select a Format</option>
<option value="1.php">1</option>
<option value="2.php">2</option>
<option value="3.php">3</option>
<option value="4.php">4</option>
<option value="5.php">5</option>
</select>

<br/>
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Query"/>

</body>
</html>


fourth part I, based on the above information... the user should have a page with a include("livesearch.php") for 1.php, but i will place livesearch.php code below...

#livesearch.php

$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']);


$xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("uploader.ph");

$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link');

//get the q parameter from URL
$q=$_GET["q"];

//lookup all links from the xml file if length of q>0
if (strlen($q)>0)
    {
    $hint="";
        for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++)
             {
            $y=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('PPC');
            $z=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('url');
                if ($y->item(0)->nodeType==1)
                    {
                    //find a link matching the search text
                    if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q))
                        {
                        if ($hint=="")
                            {
                            $hint="<a href='" .
                            $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
                            "' target='_blank'>" .
                            $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
                            }
                    else
                            {
                            $hint=$hint . "<br /><a href='" .
                            $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
                            "' target='_blank'>" .
                            $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
                            }
                        }
                        }
            }
    }

// Set output to "no suggestion" if no hint were found
// or to the correct values
if ($hint=="")
    {
    $response="no suggestion";
    }
else
    {
    $response=$hint;
    }

//output the response
echo $response;
?> 

fourth part II, the above code will be part of 1.php... this part of the form will ideally return a livesearch query from the uploaded xml document for the checked boxes by an element's name.

#form.php

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function showResult(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
  {
  document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML="";
  document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="0px";
  return;
  }
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="1px solid #A5ACB2";
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","livesearch.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>

</head>


<body>

<?php

echo "<form>
Please place element1 # to search:
<input type='text' size='30' onkeyup='showResult(this.value)' />
<div id='livesearch'></div>
</form>";


// This is to collect box array value as global_variables is set off in PHP5 by default
//
// variable that will send $box information from the checkboxes named getXMLbox to
// an variable array
$box=$_POST['getXMLbox'];
        if(empty($box))
                {
                echo("These are the boxes that WERE not selected: $box");
                }
        else
                {
                $N = count($box);
                echo("These are the boxes that ARE selected: $N ");
                        for($i=0; $i<$N; $i++)
                                {
                                echo($box[$i] . " ");
                                }
                }

while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($box))
        {
        echo "$val,";
        }

echo "<form method=post action='simple.php'>";
echo "<table border='0' cellspacing='0' style='border-collapse: collapse' width='100' >

<tr bgcolor='#ffffff'>
<td width='25%'><input type=checkbox name=getXMLbox[] value='element1'></td>
<td width='25%'>&nbsp;element1</td>
</tr>

<tr bgcolor='#ffffff'>
<td width='25%'><input type=checkbox name=getXMLbox[] value='element2'></td>
<td width='25%'>&nbsp;element2</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><br/></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan =6 align=center><input type=submit name=SubmitForm value='Submit Query'></form></td>
</tr>
</table>";

?>


finally, i'd like to parse the data with a php5 function and display the xml information onto the screeen or have a dialog box open up for a person to save as.


#simple.php

<?php
/*
we will use simpleXML to transfer xml data
to parse and read xml data
*/

//load the xml file to $file
$file = ($_FILES["file"]["name"]);

#load xml data
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file) or die ("The connection to could not load the XML document. Please try again. \n");

#display the entire document
echo ('$xml');
?>

so basically, i'm a bit lost and not getting the right outcome that i'd like. can someone please assist?

many thanks.

Hello, iv found some guides on how to make this form with restrictions, but some of them are not working.

Problems that im having with this:
1) It uploads an image even if its size is bigger than the MAX_SIZE (it shows a message that the file size is too big but uploads anyway) (if i pick a file thats not jpeg/png/jpg/gif it wont upload tho).
2) When i press submit button w/o selecting any files, it gives me the message that file was uploaded. (do i need to add an 'else' in the if(isset) part?)
3) Dunno how to explain this, but when pick some non-image file and click submit, it gives me that the file type is bad (witch it should), however when i choose an image file right after this and click submit again (it says that type is bad again), if i pick same image file for the 3rd time and click submit it gives me the message that it was uploaded.
Same if i do it backwards:
I) pick image, submit - "file uploaded"
II) pick non-image, submit - "file uploaded"
III) pick non-image, submit -"bad type"

Heres the code that i have (i left it with comments, idk if i should have removed them or not):

<?php

         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
 }

//This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no

I am trying to get pics uploaded and stored into my database. Problem is, I am not that great with HTML and have just been Copy/Pasting tags to get forms I like and editing where I think things should go. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the html tags I am using, because by itself it works fine, but when I Copy/Paste that code to where, I think, it should be on my registration form, the if statement that checks for type and size regulations always returns false. It must have something to do with the form/post/submit button combo being pasted into, the working, registration form page.

This is my working upload test code
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>
<form method = "post" enctype = "multipart/form-data">
<label for = "file">Filename:</label>
<input type = "file"   name = "file"   id = "file" />
<input  type = "submit" name = "Submit" value ="Submit">
</form>

<?php
if (!empty($_FILES['file']))
{
if ((( $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") 
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000))
{
   if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
     {
     header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=".$_FILES["file"]["error"]);
exit();
     }

else if (file_exists("/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=exists");
exit();
}

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Now, this is what my registration page, after I Copy/Paste the sections together, looks like:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>
Please enter your details below:
<br />
<form name = "Details" method = "post">
<br />
Username: <input type = "text" name = "Username">

<br />
Address: <input type = "text" name = "Line1">
<br />

City: <input type = "text" name = "City">
<br />
