Variable passed to each() is not an array or object

[AdRock]

I am having a nightmare with a bit of code which should work.

 

I have 2 pages with the same form and when they are submitted, they call their own function; one for inserting into database, the other for updating the database.  Both functions call the same function for uploading and resizing images which works perfectly.

 

When i use the function to insert into the database, it calls the upload_image() function and all images are uploaded and resized correctly.  When i call the function to update the database, it calls the upload_image() function also but the images won't upload.  Instead i get these errors

Here are the functions

 

function content_update($id, $table, $content_title, $content, $keywords, $desc) {

global $host,$dbUser,$dbPass,$dbName;

require_once("../php/database/connection.php");
require_once("../php/database/MySQL.php");

$db = & new MySQL($host,$dbUser,$dbPass,$dbName);

$content_title = htmlentities($content_title);
$keywords = htmlentities($keywords);
$desc = str_replace("\n", " ", $desc);
$desc = htmlentities($desc);
$date = date("Y/m/d H:i");
if(!isset($user)) $user = $_SESSION['user'];

$uploaded = upload_image();

if($uploaded = "Uploaded") {
	$sql="UPDATE $table SET content='$content', keywords='$keywords', description='$desc', user='$user', date='$date' WHERE id='$id'";

	//query to enter form data into database 	    
	$result = $db->query($sql);	

	if(!$result) { 
		return 'There has been an error adding to the database.  Please consult Adam and advise of the problem'; 
	}
}
else {
	return 'There has been an error uploading the image.  Please consult Adam and advise of the problem';
}
}

function upload_image() {
$idir = "../images/";   // Path To Images Directory
$tdir = "../images/";   // Path To Thumbnails Directory
$twidth = "200";   // Maximum Width For Thumbnail Images
$theight = "150";   // Maximum Height For Thumbnail Images

$counter = 0;
$count = sizeof($_FILES['images']['name']);

while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES['images']['name'])) {
	if(!empty($value)) {
		$filename = $value;
		$filename=str_replace(" ","_",$filename);// Add _ inplace of blank space in file name, you can remove this line

		$add = $idir . $filename;

		$copy = copy($_FILES['images']['tmp_name'][$key], $add);
		if($copy) {
			$simg = imagecreatefromjpeg($add);   // Make A New Temporary Image To Create The Thumbanil From
			$currwidth = imagesx($simg);   // Current Image Width
			$currheight = imagesy($simg);   // Current Image Height
			if ($currheight > $currwidth) {   // If Height Is Greater Than Width
				$zoom = $twidth / $currheight;   // Length Ratio For Width
				$newheight = $theight;   // Height Is Equal To Max Height
				$newwidth = $currwidth * $zoom;   // Creates The New Width
			} else {    // Otherwise, Assume Width Is Greater Than Height (Will Produce Same Result If Width Is Equal To Height)
				$zoom = $twidth / $currwidth;   // Length Ratio For Height
				$newwidth = $twidth;   // Width Is Equal To Max Width
				$newheight = $currheight * $zoom;   // Creates The New Height
			}
			$dimg = imagecreate($newwidth, $newheight);   // Make New Image For Thumbnail
			imagetruecolortopalette($simg, false, 256);   // Create New Color Pallete
			$palsize = ImageColorsTotal($simg);
			for ($i = 0; $i < $palsize; $i++) {   // Counting Colors In The Image
				$colors = ImageColorsForIndex($simg, $i);   // Number Of Colors Used
				ImageColorAllocate($dimg, $colors['red'], $colors['green'], $colors['blue']);   // Tell The Server What Colors This Image Will Use
			}
			imagecopyresized($dimg, $simg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $currwidth, $currheight);   // Copy Resized Image To The New Image (So We Can Save It)
			imagejpeg($dimg, "$tdir" . $filename);   // Saving The Image
			imagedestroy($simg);   // Destroying The Temporary Image
			imagedestroy($dimg);   // Destroying The Other Temporary Image

			$counter++;   // Resize successful

			if($counter == $count ) return 'Uploaded';
		}
		else {
			print '<font color="#FF0000">ERROR: Unable to upload image.</font>';   // Error Message If Upload Failed
		}
	}
}
}

 

the form has these input fields

<?php
$max_imgs = 4;
for($i=1; $i<=$max_imgs; $i++){
	echo '<p><input type="file" name="images[]" class="bginput" /></p>';
}
?>

 

it makes no sense becuase the form is the same and they both call the same function so why one doesn't do it when the other does is beyond me

$_FILES['images']['name'] isn't an array, $_FILE['images'] is, name just happens to be a string attribute for all the elements of that array
