10 uploads

[fazzfarrell]

I am currently creating a dating website - One problem I can't work is that the user is only allowed to upload 10 pictures.

 

I want to be able to allow them to upload 10 pics only how do I go on about doing this?

Run a count on the number of image records for that user in the database. If it equals 10 then dont display the upload field.

There are meny ways mate....

 

Add a field example number_of_pic were the picture names are in that row

 

now each time a user enter a picture you need to let the database no and increment the number...

<?php
$sql="update picture set number_of_pic=number_of_pic+1 where user_id='$user_id'";
?>

 

every time the user uplaods a pic the new database field get added a 1 to it..

 

then do this

 

<?php 
$sql="select * from picture where user_id='$user_id'";

$res=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());

while($data=mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){

if($data['number_of_pic'])==10)){

echo "To meny pictures!";

}
}
?>
