Upload Images Script To Certain Directory

Xtremer360 · September 30, 2008

With this script it's supposed to when filled out post the information into the shows table with the showname,type,showimage. However with the showimage what I want it to do is when the admin clicks browse and finds the showimage he wants to assign to that show I want the image to be sent to the images folder in the main directory as well as I want it to take the file name like whatever.jpg and put that into the shows table as well under showimage. When I run the script right now it gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/y/a/n/yankeefaninkc/html/backstage/addshowname.php on line 63

What did I do wrong and for what I want the script to do did I write it all correctly.

<?php

/* addshowname.php */

/* This form after submission takes the results of the form and inserts the values into the database as a new show name is created. */

require ('database.php');

// Where the file is going to be placed

$target_path = "/home/content/y/a/n/yankeefaninkc/html/images/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.

Result is "images/filename.extension" */

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

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).

" has been uploaded";

} else{

echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";

}

//This code runs if the form has been submitted

if (isset($_POST['addshowname'])) {

//This makes sure they did not leave any fields blank

if (!$_POST['showname'] || !$_POST['type'] || !$_POST['showimage'] ) {

die('You did not complete all of the required fields');

}

// checks if the username is in use

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$_POST['showname'] = addslashes($_POST['showname']);

}

$showname = $_POST['showname'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT showname FROM shows WHERE showname = '$showname'")

or die(mysql_error());

$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);

//if the name exists it gives an error

if ($check2 != 0) {

die('Sorry, the show name '.$_POST['showname'].' is already in use.');

}

// now we insert it into the database

$insert = "INSERT INTO shows (showname, type, showimage)

VALUES ('".$_POST['showname']."','".$_POST['type']."','".$_POST['showimage']."')";

$add_show = mysql_query($insert,$link) or die(mysql_error());

gaza165 · September 30, 2008

you are missing a } at the end of the script

echo '<fieldset>';
echo '<legend>Enter the following information to add a show name:</legend>';
echo '<p>Enter Show Name:<input name="showname" type="text"></p>';
echo '<p>Show Type:<select name="type"><option></option><option>Weekly Show</option><option>Pay Per View</option></select></p>';
echo '<p>Upload Show Image:<input name="showimage" type="file"></p>';
echo '<div align="center"><input name="submit" type="submit"><input name="sumbitted" type="hidden" value="TRUE"></div>';
echo '</fieldset>';

echo '</form>';

}    ----------- THIS IS THE ONE YOU ARE MISSING!!

please use the code tags in this forum so we can see code properly

Xtremer360 · September 30, 2008

Okay I add the last } now when I reload the page it says:

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

That's all it says. Is that part of my script where it handles the file upload wrong?

try that and tell me what happens....

Xtremer360 · September 30, 2008

Now all it says is:

You did not complete all of the required fields

gaza165 · September 30, 2008

ok dont worry about the database stuff so much, just worry about the file upload.

<?php

/* addshowname.php */

/* This form after submission takes the results of the form and inserts the values into the database as a new show name is created. */

// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "/home/content/y/a/n/yankeefaninkc/html/images/";

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

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

}

echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php" method="post">';
echo '<input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" type="hidden" value="30000">';

echo '<fieldset>';
echo '<legend>Enter the following information to add a show name:</legend>';

echo '</fieldset>';

echo '</form>';

?>

Xtremer360 · September 30, 2008

Well it says upon submission:

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

gaza165 · September 30, 2008

I can see what you have done wrong

you need to rename your <input name> to uploadedfile

so ur form looks like this

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="addshowname.php" method="post">
<input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" type="hidden" value="100000">
<legend>Enter the following information to add a show name:</legend>
<p>Enter Show Name:<input name="showname" type="text"></p>
<p>Show Type:<select name="type"><option></option><option>Weekly Show</option><option>Pay Per View</option></select></p>
<p>Upload Show Image:<input name="uploadedfile" type="file"></p>
<div align="center"><input name="submit" type="submit"></div>
</form>

you are better off putting this outside of your php tags

Xtremer360 · September 30, 2008

Still says:

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

gaza165 · September 30, 2008

let me work out the bugs and i will post the full script here..

try

Same thing. However keep in mind that this is how my folders are setup right now.

images

folder1

folder 2

Only thing is it wasn't uploaded into the images folder.

The file aggression.jpg has been uploaded

well i know that works becuase i have just tested it on your site

now you have a problem with ur sql query to fix that

// now we insert it into the database
$insert = "INSERT INTO shows (showname, type, showimage) VALUES ('".$_POST['showname']."','".$_POST['type']."','".$_POST['showimage']."')";

$add_show = mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());

replace your exsiting code with that

i uploaded it seems fine to me
