How does this not work?

[fife]

Ok strange one.  I have an image upload script.  It works fine and the image uploads and puts its name in my database.  I also then post the name to the next page.  Here is the image uploader

<?php
if (isset($_POST['insert_image']))
{
$folder = "../../images/image_box/";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"] , "$folder".$_FILES["photo"]["name"]) or die(mysql_error());
//connect to database
include('../../Connections/database.php'); 
$photo = $_FILES["photo"]["name"];

$qInsert = "INSERT INTO `photos` 
(`photo_name`)
	VALUES                    
	('".$photo."')";
			$rInsert = mysql_query($qInsert) or die(mysql_error()); 
//Tells you if its all ok 
if ($rInsert) {
$url = "add_image_to_album.php?image_name='".$photo."'" or die(mysql_error());        
header("Location: ".$url.""); 
}
else {
$errors = "There was an error inserting the image into the database";
}
}
?>

Notice I then post the image name  to the next page.

 

Now on the next page I have only this

<?php include('../../Connections/database.php'); 
session_start();?>
   <?php echo '".$_GET['image_name']."' ;?>

 

But there is an error at line one but I have tested the connection and its fine so its erroring displaying for example;

 

landscape.png

 

Does it have something to do with the .png in the name? If so how do i solve this?

What is the error and what do you expect to be displayed?

[fife]

no sorry i explained that wrong.  There is no error here is what the link looks like.......

http://www.website.co.uk/manage/gallery/add_image_to_album.php?image_name='landscapes.png'

 

Im asking it to echo the image_name but it echos nothing

http://www.website.uk/manage/gallery/add_image_to_album.php?image_name='landscapes.png'

 

Im asking it to echo image_name but nothing is displayed

EDIT: Sorry read the post wrong.

 

 

EDIT2: Don't put single quotes around the image_name value in the url.

Why is their single quotes in the url?

[fife]

what do you mean I don,t understand.  I don,t want to display the image.  Just the name

[AbraCadaver]

Dunno, but you have several errors.

 

$url = "add_image_to_album.php?image_name='".$photo."'" or die(mysql_error());        
header("Location: ".$url.""); 

 

Should be:

 

$url = "add_image_to_album.php?image_name=$photo";
header("Location: $url");
exit; 

[fife]

cool that has changed but still nothing echo's in the really annoyingly simple statement

Sorry, forgot the third error (why are you putting all kinds of quotes all over the place?):

 

 <?php echo '".$_GET['image_name']."' ;?>

 

Should be:

 

 <?php echo $_GET['image_name'];?>

[fife]

here the new link and still no echo of the image_name

I'm just escaping the php so I can see my code correctly with putting those quotes in.  I have never had it effect anything else before

[AbraCadaver]

Well crap, sorry I was on a conference call and only half thinking.  Try this:

 

$url = "add_image_to_album.php?image_name=" . urlencode($photo);

[parino_esquilado]

$qInsert = "INSERT INTO `photos` 
(`photo_name`)
	VALUES                    
	('".$photo."')";

 

$qInsert = "INSERT INTO photos (photo_name) VALUES ('$photo')";

 

That probably won't fix it, but the way you wrote it annoyed me lol
