I am working on this pictures to upload and when I submit it gives the message below for success but I get this error message which is on the line of $place file

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(members/5/image01.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream:

 

 

        $check_pic = "members/$id/image01.jpg";

I hv a members page that has a 0 for default pics should I make a folder with the $id as it is supposed to go into that file for each member.

The target directory may have to exist first.

It's because there is no folder with that users id.

You would have to create a folder with each user id..

 

Why don't you just try:

members/$id_$newname

 

If you have a slash after the $id, it is trying to find a folder with that id name and there is none because you would have to go and create a folder for each user

[rdkd1970]

should it automatically make it for them the folder $id when they submit their pic

[Tenaciousmug]

No it won't create folders. You have to have that folder already existing before trying to submit anything to it.

[rdkd1970]

Do I have to put that $id folder in the db added to my tables for members.

No. The database has nothing to do with the file structure, which is the problem. What you need is is_dir() and mkdir(). is_dir will check if a directory exists, and mkdir will make a directory. All you would need is a simple if statement to check if the directory you are trying to put an image in exists, and if not make it, before you use move_uploaded_file(). FOr example

if (!is_dir("members/$id/")){
//means the directory we will try to put image in doesnt exist
//make it
mkdir("members/$id/");
}

//now we can proceed with the rest of the upload script

 

Hope this helps
