<?php
include "inc/header.php";


  if(isset($_POST['submit']))
  {//begin of if($submit).
      
  //global variables
      $title_en = $_POST['title_en'];
$title_ar = $_POST['title_ar'];
      $en = $_POST['en'];
      $ar = $_POST['ar'];
      $cat = $_POST['cat'];

              //check if (title) field is empty then print error message.
              if(!$title_en){  //this means If the title is really empty.
                     echo "Error: News title is a required field. Please fill it.";
                     exit(); //exit the script and don't do anything else.
              }// end of ifdtime

         //run the query which adds the data gathered from the form into the database
         $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO contents (title_en, title_ar, dtime, en, ar, cat)
                       VALUES ('$title_en','$title_ar',NOW(),'$en','$ar','$cat')",$connect);
          //print success message.
          echo "<b>Thank you! data added Successfully!";
          echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=2;url=index.php>";
  }//end of if($submit).


  // If the form has not been submitted, display it!
else
  {//begin of else

      ?>

      <h3>::Add News</h3> 
   <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER[php_SELF] ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
  <table border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4">
  <tr>
    <td>Select Category:</td>
    <td colspan="2"><select name="cat"><?php
    
    	$sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT `catname` from `categories`';
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connect);
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  echo '<option value="'.$row['id'].'">'.$row['catname'].'</option>';
}      ?>
    
    </td>
  </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Title:</td>
    <td ><input name="title_en" size="40" maxlength="255"></td>
    <td><input name="title_ar" size="40" maxlength="255"></td>
  </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Content:</td>
      <td><textarea name="eng"  rows="7" cols="30"></textarea></td>
      <td><textarea name="ar" rows="7" cols="30"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3" class="submit"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></td>
    </tr>
</table>
      
</form>
     
      <?php
  }//end of else

include "inc/footer.php";
  
?>

 

 

as for the view page i was thinking to have it in this way

 

echo file link only if a file have been uploaded

echo image only if an image have been uploaded

You don't have a file input. Have you tried this tutorial?
