Hi,

Thank you for this. I apologize, but would you please explain the code.

Thank you.

[Image Upload, rename and insert into database]

Go to this website and use this PHP class it does all the uploading and resizing and more for you.

http://www.verot.net/php_class_upload.htm

The databse part you would need to write your own code but here is something I have put together using the above php class.

// You will need to enter your databse information

//Lets connect to the database.
mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass) or die ("Database CONNECT Error");
mysql_select_db($database) or die ('Could not select database $db_name: ' . mysql_error());


error_reporting(E_ALL);

// we first include the upload class, as we will need it here to deal with the uploaded file
include('class.upload.php');


    // as it is multiple uploads, we will parse the $_FILES array to reorganize it into $files
// my_field is the field name you give the your HTML form field
  $files = array();
    foreach ($_FILES['my_field'] as $k => $l) {
        foreach ($l as $i => $v) {
            if (!array_key_exists($i, $files))
                $files[$i] = array();
            $files[$i][$k] = $v;
        }
    }

    // now we can loop through $files, and feed each element to the class
    foreach ($files as $file) {
   
        // we instanciate the class for each element of $file
        $execute = new Upload($file);
 
  // Check to see if files where uploaded
  if ($execute->uploaded) {
 
   
// Run the first image function   
  $execute->auto_create_dir      = true; // automatically create the directory if it does not exists
  $execute->dir_auto_chmod      = true; // change the directory permission to writable
  $execute->image_resize        = true; // If "true" resize the picture
  $execute->image_x              = 480;  // The desired width of the resize - in this case X axis
  $execute->image_ratio_y        = true; // If "true" keep the resize aspect ratio ofthe "y" property
  $execute->file_safe_name      = true; // If "true" replace spaces in the file name with "_" underscores.
  $execute-> file_autorename    = false;// If"true" automatically renames the file if it already exists.
  $execute->file_overwrite      = true; // If the file already exists overwrite it
  $execute->allowed              = array('image/jpg','image/jpeg','image/gif'); // Which type of files are allowed
  $execute->image_convert        = 'jpg';
  $execute->Process('images/users'); // Directory where the large picture will be stored
 
  // If everythig was successful display the first messasge 
  if ($execute->processed) {
    echo 'everything seems OK';
  }
  // if there is an error, display the error
  else {
    echo 'error : ' . $execute->error;
  }
 
 
// Run the second image function 
  $execute->auto_create_dir      = true; //===================================================================
  $execute->dir_auto_chmod      = true; //
  $execute->image_resize        = true; //
  $execute->image_x              = 100;  // -  read the first function for the explaination of these variables
  $execute->image_ratio_y        = true; //
  $execute->file_safe_name      = true; //
  $execute-> file_autorename    = false;//
  $execute->file_overwrite      = true; //
  $execute->allowed              = array('image/jpg','image/jpeg','image/gif');
  $execute->image_convert        = 'jpg'; //====================================================================
  $execute->Process('images/users/thumbs'); // Store the image in the users thumbs directory

  if ($execute->processed) {
    echo 'everything seems ok for the thumbs';

$filename = $execute->file_dst_name; //Get the name of the file

$execute->Clean();// Clean Up

//Get the pictures info
$query_album_info = "SELECT * FROM pictures WHERE username='$username'";
$res_album_info = mysql_query($query_album_info) ;
$album_info = mysql_fetch_assoc($res_album_info) ;
$x = 0 ;

while ($x <= 99 ) {
$x++ ;
if ($album_info['pub' . $x] == "") {
$next_available = "pub" . $x ;
$next_available_desc = "desc_pub" . $x ;
break 1 ;
}
}


//Wrtie filenames and description to the database.(table name is pictures)
$query_album_update = "UPDATE pictures SET $next_available='$filename', $next_available_desc='$filename' WHERE username='$username'" ;
$res_album_update = mysql_query($query_album_update) ;

  } else {
    echo 'error : ' . $execute->error;
  }
}
}

Hope this helps.

[PHP / XML HELP!]

Hello everyone,

First let me thank anyone who replies in advance.

My dilema is as follows:
I have an HTML form that sends information to a php script that writes an XML file for me. This is fine.

The form contains 3 fields: id, path, name.

What I need to do is continue to apend to the XML anytime the form is submited before the ending node.
Here is an example:

XML FILE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
<album id="1" path="carShow" name="some auto show" />

</gallery>

Here is what I need to apend to the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
<album id="1" path="carShow" name="some auto show" />

[b][color=red]<album id="2" path="album" name="another album" />[/color][/b]  <--- Information from the HTML form added here before the ending node.

</gallery> [b]<---- Ending node[/b]

Is this possible?

Thank you.
Jay
