Image Upload Help

[thesprucegoose]

Hey all,

 

I need help! This is my first PHP script, ever. I want to have someone upload an image (and eventually a title, description, and location data) and have that image automatically add to a separate web page. For example, an image from image_upload.php would be transferred to image_dump.html.

 

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://voidinwarranties.com/php_test/dump.html" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

 

that's my code, but it returns an error saying that dump.html isn't prepared to accept it.

 

HELP!

PHP is a little more complex than this, especially for files.

For files, my reccomendation would be to process the information from the form, and save it to a database (MySQL).  Then have the image_dump page get the data saved in the database and show it.
