I solved it. Within my php.ini file arouund line 661 uncomment this extension=php_gd2.dll

What module(s) do I need to install to get the image to work? http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-captcha.php This is what my W.A.M.P. i nstall looks like http://mo-de.net/d/php_info/

unsider, thanks for the speedy reply and yes I am looking for Captcha. Thanks, Lex

I need to implement a graphic string that a user must enter to send the contents of a form. I have 3 questions. 1. What is this validation called? 2. Ho can I do this with PHP? 3. Can you point me to a location where this technique is explained?

MadTechie, thanks for this solution. I was trying to use that class DirectoryIterator built for PHP 5. I will experiment later and share my discoveries. Thanks, Lex

Rohan Shenoy, have ever tried to point "rmdir("path/to/a/nonemptydriectory")". If you try it you will notice that you have to remove all the files within it first. Lex

This is a simple delete all files in a directory and then delete the directory but it does not work. Does any one have an idea? function del_this_directory ($directory_to_del){ foreach (new DirectoryIterator ($directory_to_del) as $file){ if (!is_dir ($file)){ unlink ($file ->getPathname ()); } } //This will remove the directory rmdir($directory_to_del); } del_this_directory ("../del/"); This will delete the directory if I do this without obviously no file(s) within the directory. function del_this_directory ($directory_to_del){ /* foreach (new DirectoryIterator ($directory_to_del) as $file){ if (!is_dir ($file)){ unlink ($file ->getPathname ()); } } */ //This will remove the directory rmdir($directory_to_del); } del_this_directory ("../del/"); I think something here "foreach (new DirectoryIterator ($directory_to_del) as $file){" is keeping the directory open. An not letting me delete the empty directory. Just to let you know the permission for this directory is 0777 so that's not the problem. Thanks

[sOLVED SOLUTION] Edit the PHP configuration file it should be "php.ini". Find the following line. ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. post_max_size = 8M Chang it to an acceptable size that should match the max upload worst case scenario. post_max_size = 20M Yore done only 4 days later. Also get XDEBUG http://www.xdebug.org/docs/install This will help you debig your work much better that what php has built in, check Appache logs also. Thanks, All.

Xeoncross, I installed php_xdebug and it is way better for debugging, thanks so much. Look what I found as the error. ( ! ) Warning: POST Content-Length of 8604201 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0 I guess I need to fix this in a config file. Where and what do I edit to do this? Get php_xdebug from http://www.xdebug.org/docs/install Thanks, Xeoncross

Sometimes it works 1/30 + tries. array(1) { ["uploadedfile"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(12) "DSC_0500.JPG" [1]=> string(12) "DSC_0624.JPG" [2]=> string(12) "DSC_0500.JPG" } ["type"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" [1]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" [2]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" } ["tmp_name"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(80) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\phpD3.tmp" [1]=> string(80) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\phpD4.tmp" [2]=> string(80) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\phpD5.tmp" } ["error"]=> array(3) { [0]=> int(0) [1]=> int(0) [2]=> int(0) } ["size"]=> array(3) { [0]=> int(2376919) [1]=> int(3448569) [2]=> int(2376919) } } }

This is what I get as an output when I upload two files. var_dump($_FILES, $_POST); Everything uploads fine. array(1) { ["uploadedfile"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(12) "DSC_0500.JPG" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(12) "DSC_0624.JPG" } ["type"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" } ["tmp_name"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(80) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\php8A.tmp" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(80) "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\php8C.tmp" } ["error"]=> array(3) { [0]=> int(0) [1]=> int(4) [2]=> int(0) } ["size"]=> array(3) { [0]=> int(2376919) [1]=> int(0) [2]=> int(3448569) } } } array(6) { ["preview_themes"]=> string(3) "dsl" ["create_this_folder"]=> string(0) "" ["MAX_FILE_SIZE"]=> string( "10240000" ["experation0"]=> string(9) "One Month" ["experation1"]=> string(9) "One Month" ["experation2"]=> string(9) "One Month" } ---------------------------------------------------- 0 << the length of form field create_this_folder lllloookkk C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\php8A.tmp << temp name DSC_0500.JPG << original name image/jpeg << type 2376919 << size << temp name << original name << type 0 << size C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\php8C.tmp << temp name DSC_0624.JPG << original name image/jpeg << type 3448569 << size When I upload three files this is when it breaks. array(0) { } array(0) { } ---------------------------------------------------- Notice: Undefined index: create_this_folder in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 12 Notice: Undefined index: create_this_folder in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 21 Notice: Undefined index: create_this_folder in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 22 0 << the length of form field create_this_folder lllloookkk Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 27 << temp name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 28 << original name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 29 << type Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 30 << size Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 27 << temp name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 28 << original name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 29 << type Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 30 << size Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 27 << temp name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 28 << original name Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 29 << type Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\php_study\manipulate_image\php_code\create_del_folders.php on line 30 << size Does anyone have ideas?

uniflare, The "$_POST["create_this_folder"] - it is saying this POSTED variable does not exist." it does exist. It contains a value. Ii works when I have two files selected but not three. "$_FILES ['uploadedfile'] does not exist." this also exists but then dies when I try to upload three files. uniflare, thanks for the help so far. This the html form code. <html> <?php function display_themes_in_drop_down($path ){ //Strip The Underscore Out $things_to_replace="/_/"; $replace_with=' '; // Open the folder $dir_handle = opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); // Loop through the files while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { if ($file !='..' && $file !='.'){ //echo "$file<br>"; $file= preg_replace ($things_to_replace, $replace_with ,$file); echo '<option>'.$file.'</option>'; } } // Close closedir($dir_handle); } ?> <HEAD> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="../js/form_validation.js"></SCRIPT> </HEAD> <title>:::Upload Your Image:::</title> <body> <!--<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="stuff_to_upload" action="" onsubmit="return check_if_theme_exist (this);" method="post">--> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="stuff_to_upload" action="create_del_folders.php" onsubmit="return check_if_theme_exist (this);" method="post"> <!--<form name="stuff_to_upload" onsubmit="return check_if_theme_exist (this);" method="post">--> Choose a topic to upload to Or Create a topic to upload to<br> <br> <select name="preview_themes" onChange = "limit_one_theme_only(this)"> <option>Choose a theme</option> <?php display_themes_in_drop_down ("../photos");?> </select> <input type="text" size = "20" name="create_this_folder" onKeyPress = "limit_one_theme_only_1(this)"/> <br><br> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="9000000" /> Choose files to upload: <br><br> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10240000" /> Downloadable<input type="checkbox" name="dl0"> <select name="experation0"> <!--<option>-------------------</option>--> <option>One Month</option> <option>Two Months</option> <option>Forever</option> </select> <input name="uploadedfile[]" type="file" /> <!-- Signature Photo<input type="checkbox" name="signature0" value="true"> --> Color <input type="radio" name="borc0" value="c" > B/W <input type="radio" name="borc0" value="b"> <br> Downloadable<input type="checkbox" name="dl1"> <select name="experation1"> <!--<option>-------------------</option>--> <option>One Month</option> <option>Two Months</option> <option>Never</option> </select> <input name="uploadedfile[]" type="file" /> <!-- Signature Photo<input type="checkbox" name="signature1" value="true"> --> Color <input type="radio" name="borc1" value="c" > B/W <input type="radio" name="borc1" value="b"> <br> Downloadable<input type="checkbox" name="dl2"> <select name="experation2"> <!--<option>-------------------</option>--> <option>One Month</option> <option>Two Months</option> <option>Never</option> </select> <input name="uploadedfile[]" type="file"/> <!-- Signature Photo<input type="checkbox" name="signature2" value="true"> --> Color <input type="radio" name="borc2" value="c" > B/W <input type="radio" name="borc2" value="b"> <br><br> <input type = "submit" value="Upload File"/> </form> </body> </html>

I keep getting this error "Notice: Undefined index: ". I am trying to do something very simple. Take some files submitted from a form for upload and save them to a certain theme directory. <?php $things_to_replace="/\s/"; $replace_with='_'; $path_of_folder=preg_replace ($things_to_replace, $replace_with ,$_POST["create_this_folder"]); //Cleanup work because of IE 6 if (strlen($path_of_folder)!=0){ if ($path_of_folder[0]=='_'){ $path_of_folder=substr ($path_of_folder,1); } } if (strlen($_POST["create_this_folder"]) == 0){ echo strlen($_POST["create_this_folder"])." << the length of form field create_this_folder <br>"; echo "lllloookkk <br>"; for ($i=0; $i<3; $i++){ echo $_FILES ['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'][$i]." << temp name <br>"; echo $_FILES ['uploadedfile']['name'][$i]." << original name <br>"; echo $_FILES ['uploadedfile']['type'][$i]." << type <br>"; echo $_FILES ['uploadedfile']['size'][$i]." << size<br>"; } } ?> This is the error I receive when I submit all three at once. If I do two or less everything is fine, three kills it. I have no idea.

"lindylex, are you not familiar with the AUTO_INCREMENT property in MySQL?" rhodesa, now I am thanks. Thanks, craygo, Ken2k7 and rhodesa

rhodesa, When some remove the image from the table how does the datase handle the next file? I assume the id is a sequence of numbers like id 0 = 1st image id 1 = 2 nd image when you delete id 0, 1st image, then what will be the id of the next photo uploaded? Thanks, for the quick reply? Lex
