Hello

 

Could somebody please advise me on the following. I have a form to upload an image to the server and image name and other form fields to mysql database. It all works fine but I am at a loss as where to add or how to add code for thumbnail creation for the uploaded image.

 

Here is the form:

<html>
<head>
<title>Insert business for sale</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/country.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" class="main">
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3"> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="160" valign="top"><p> </p>
      <p>  </p>
      <p> </p>
      <p> </p>
      <p> </p></td>
    <td width="732" valign="top"><p>
</p>
      <h3 class="titlehdr">Add details for business for sale here:</h3>
     
  Or go back to Admin Panel <a href="admin_main.php">here</a>.<br>
      <form method="post" action="addcourse.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

          </tr>
          <tr> 
            <td height="34"></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
          </tr>
          <tr> 
            <td height="72" valign="top"> 
              <input TYPE="submit" name="upload" title="Add data to the Database" value="Add Course"/>
            </td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <p align="center">  </p>
      </form>
     
   
      </td>
    <td width="196" valign="top"> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

 

And here is the php to handle the upload:

 <?php
include "../db connection...";

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "market/Thumbs/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

//This gets all the other information from the form
$course=$_POST['course'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
$profile=$_POST['profile'];
$contact=$_POST['contact'];
$country=$_POST['country'];
$state=$_POST['state'];
$city=$_POST['city'];
$tel=$_POST['tel'];
$holes=$_POST['holes'];
$par=$_POST['par'];
$designer=$_POST['designer'];
$distance=$_POST['distance'];
$fairways=$_POST['fairways'];
$greens=$_POST['greens'];
$web=$_POST['web'];
$user_email=$_POST['user_email'];
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO golflist (course,address,profile,contact,country,state,city,tel,holes,par,designer,distance,fairways,greens,web,user_email,photo,date)
VALUES ('$course', '$address', '$profile','$contact','$country','$state','$city','$tel','$holes','$par','$designer','$distance','$fairways','$greens','$web','$user_email','$pic',now())") ;

//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.";
}
?>

 

I am not looking for someone to do the work for me, just advise me or point me in the direction of code I could integrate with what I already have?

 

Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it!

A google search for "PHP create thumbnail" came up with several tutorials ont he subject. Really too much to try and emaplain in a forum post. Try reading a tutorial and implementing it into your script. Then post back if you run into any problems.
