I have a very annoying problem while running a script I created about 2 years ago. I have a basic script which uploads a file to a server path and information to a database. But evertime I execute without a file it doesn't work. I should get an error no.4 but for some reason an IF statement that checks the error gets bypassed until the scipt dies for being a wrong file type. Can anybody understand whats wrong? The code is this: [size=8pt] [color=green] if ($_FILES['image1']['error']=="4") { mysql_query("UPDATE cars SET exterior_image = 'np.gif' WHERE car_id = $image_id"); echo "<div align='center'>The Car details have been added to the database successfully. The Cars Reference Number is: ".$image_id."<br><br> <a href='addcar.php'>Continue</a></div>"; exit; } if ($_FILES['image1']['size']=="50000") { echo "One of the uploaded images is to big, it must be under 50k. Please go back and try again"; exit; } if ($_FILES['image']['type'] != "image/gif" && $_FILES['image1']['type'] != "image/pjpeg" && $_FILES['image1']['type'] != "image/jpeg" && $_FILES['image']['type'] != "image/jpg") { die("<strong>Problem:</strong> Image 1 is not a valid image file, please go back and try again.<BR>Image Type: ".$_FILES['image1']['type']); exit; } if ($_FILES['image1']['type'] == "image/gif") { $ext = ".gif"; } else if ($_FILES['image1']['type'] == "image/pjpeg") { $ext = ".jpg"; } else if ($_FILES['image1']['type'] == "image/jpeg") { $ext = ".jpg"; } else if ($_FILES['image1']['type'] == "image/jpg") { $ext = ".jpg"; } $upfile = "/home/sites/alanevansmotors.co.uk/public_html/carpics/".$image_id . $ext; // $image_id being the id of the newly inserted member if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) { echo "<strong>Problem:</strong> Could not upload image onto server"; } mysql_query("UPDATE cars SET exterior_pic = '$image_id"."$ext' WHERE car_id = $image_id");[/color][/size]
