Hi again,

I was wondering if I could please get some advice on the following I was trying.

I created a form to insert data into mysql database and all is well in happyland it seems. But I would like to know if it is possible to add an option to the form to upload a picture on the same form and if it is better to upload to a second table or just use the same table.

 

The form was to insert golf course details and display it on a profile page. That seems to be working fine, its just the uploading the image part that has me confused. (better mention, I will be doing all the uploading from what people email me, no end user input)

 

Here is the code I have that inserts the data into the table currently.

I apologize if its long.

 

<?php 



$sql_insert = "INSERT into `golflist`
  			(`name`,`user_email`,`address`,`profile`,`contact`,`country`,`state`,`city`,`tel`,`holes`,`par`,`distance`,`designer`,`fairways`,`greens`,`website`,`date`
		)
	    VALUES
	    ('$_POST[name]','$usr_email','$_POST[address]','$_POST[profile]','$_POST[contact]','$_POST[country]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[tel]','$_POST[holes]','$_POST[par]','$_POST[distance]','$_POST[designer]','$_POST[fairways]','$_POST[greens]','$_POST[web]'
		,now()
		)
		";

mysql_query($sql_insert,$link) or die("Insertion Failed:" . mysql_error());
$user_id = mysql_insert_id($link); 
?>

I am not looking for somebody to do the work for me, I just need advice or somebody to point me towards a tutorial that covers this....my google keywords seem to be "off par"  ;)

Thank you again for taking time to read this. I REALLY do appreciate it.

You need to have insertcourse $_Post name on a if function so it knows when's to submit it.  Lol

 

something like this:

 

if(isset($_POST['insertcourse'])){

$sql_insert = "INSERT into `golflist`
           (`name`,`user_email`,`address`,`profile`,`contact`,`country`,`state`,`city`,`tel`,`holes`,`par`,`distance`,`designer`,`fairways`,`greens`,`website`,`date`
         )
          VALUES
          ('$_POST[name]','$usr_email','$_POST[address]','$_POST[profile]','$_POST[contact]','$_POST[country]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[tel]','$_POST[holes]','$_POST[par]','$_POST[distance]','$_POST[designer]','$_POST[fairways]','$_POST[greens]','$_POST[web]'
         ,now()
         )
         ";

mysql_query($sql_insert,$link) or die("Insertion Failed:" . mysql_error());
$user_id = mysql_insert_id($link); 
}

 

 

I'm not sure where $link is at?

or Change $_POST['whatever your form name here']
