[SOLVED] A little confused about photo upload

Recommended Posts

I am writing a php script to handle photo uploads.  I got the script to work, but the data is in the wrong fields.  I have a field for "caption" and a field for the photo.  This is causing the output to show a broken link for the photo.

 

here is the code:

 

<?php

 

//This is the directory where images will be saved

$target = "images/";

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

 

//This gets all the other information from the form

$caption=$_POST['caption'];

$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

 

// Connects to your Database

mysql_connect("Localhost", "p2r71184", "692134a") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("p2r71184_photos") or die(mysql_error()) ;

 

//Writes the information to the database

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `athensPhoto` VALUES ('$caption', '$pic')");

 

//Writes the photo to the server

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))

{

 

//Tells you if its all ok

echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";

}

else {

 

//Gives and error if its not

echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";

}

?>
