[SOLVED] Echo on the php processor page with php

[crapol]

I am trying to echo on the processor page, once it is done I would like to have the user would be presented with the upload page again, I can do it to where there is a html link, but I wanted the newad.php page to come right back up

 

here is my code for both the form and the processor

 

newad.php

 <form name="newad" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"  action="processor.php">
<table>
     <tr><td><input type="text" name="name" ></td></tr>
     <tr><td><input type="text" name="info" ></td></tr>
	<tr><td><input type="file" name="image" ></td></tr>
	<tr><td><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Upload image"></td></tr>
</table>	
</form>  

 

here is my code for the processor

processor.php

<?php
//define a maxim size for the uploaded images
define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); 
// define the width and height for the thumbnail
// note that theese dimmensions are considered the maximum dimmension and are not fixed, 
// because we have to keep the image ratio intact or it will be deformed
define ("WIDTH","640"); 
define ("HEIGHT","480"); 

  // this is the function that will create the thumbnail image from the uploaded image
// the resize will be done considering the width and height defined, but without deforming the image
function make_thumb($img_name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h)
{
	//get image extension.
	$ext=getExtension($img_name);
	//creates the new image using the appropriate function from gd library
	if(!strcmp("jpg",$ext) || !strcmp("jpeg",$ext))
		$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($img_name);

  	if(!strcmp("png",$ext))
		$src_img=imagecreatefrompng($img_name);

	 	//gets the dimmensions of the image
	$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
	$old_y=imageSY($src_img);

	 // next we will calculate the new dimmensions for the thumbnail image
	// the next steps will be taken: 
	// 	1. calculate the ratio by dividing the old dimmensions with the new ones
	//	2. if the ratio for the width is higher, the width will remain the one define in WIDTH variable
	//		and the height will be calculated so the image ratio will not change
	//	3. otherwise we will use the height ratio for the image
	// as a result, only one of the dimmensions will be from the fixed ones
	$ratio1=$old_x/$new_w;
	$ratio2=$old_y/$new_h;
	if($ratio1>$ratio2)	{
		$thumb_w=$new_w;
		$thumb_h=$old_y/$ratio1;
	}
	else	{
		$thumb_h=$new_h;
		$thumb_w=$old_x/$ratio2;
	}

  	// we create a new image with the new dimmensions
	$dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($thumb_w,$thumb_h);

	// resize the big image to the new created one
	imagecopyresampled($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$old_x,$old_y); 

	// output the created image to the file. Now we will have the thumbnail into the file named by $filename
	if(!strcmp("png",$ext))
		imagepng($dst_img,$filename); 
	else
		imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename); 

  	//destroys source and destination images. 
	imagedestroy($dst_img); 
	imagedestroy($src_img); 
}

// This function reads the extension of the file. 
// It is used to determine if the file is an image by checking the extension.

         $i = strrpos($str,".");

         $l = strlen($str) - $i;

Can't you just use something like this upon completion...

 

header ("Location: newad.php");

Works, but now it does not tell them it was successfully submitted to the database, just takes them to the new submit page

Right, do this...

 

header ("Location: newad.php?status=success");

 

Then towards the top of the newad.php page somewhere, add this code...

 

<? if ($_GET['status'] == "success") {echo 'Something was successfully submitted to the database.';} ?>

Works like a charm, thanks for solving my problem !!!
