/* explode breaks down the string*/
$ext_a = explode(".", $_FILES['img']['name']);
$ext = $ext_a[1];

Please post your errors, troubleshooting by just looking at code is slightly harder you know

i am assuming that the undefined errors are undefined indices..this is because you do not check to see if your form has been submitted using the isset funtion..

 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ //this is assmuming that you name your submit type input "submit" 
   //form validation code
}

 

if you are receiving different errors than this...let us know

sorry i posted the error in the code  // Notice: Undefined index: img in C:\wamp\www\Kurri\background.php on line 9 and Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\Kurri\background.php on line 36

 

then gives the message file has been upload but the file has not been uploaded.

i just changed the code to this and named my submit button submit and now getting same error.

Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\Kurri\background.php on line 37

 

<?php





mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "admin")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("main")or die("cannot select DB");




if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$img=$_POST['img'];
/* explode breaks down the string*/
$ext_a = explode(".", $_FILES['img']['name']);
$ext = $ext_a[1];
/* hashes the file name with the date and time to genrate a uniue file name*/
$img=md5($_FILES['img']['name'] . date("m.d.y H:m:s")) . "." . $ext;
$target = "img/"; 
$target = $target .basename($img); 


           
        


/* Now we will write a query to insert user details into database */
$insert_user=mysql_query("INSERT INTO main.background (img) VALUES '$img')") ;


//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['img']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 

//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['name']['img']). " 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."; 
} }

Seriously ...

UNDEFINED means that variable is not SET.

YOUR code checks for files[name] AND for files[name] ... I have quite a doubt both would be set --

[AyKay47]

do somewhat of the same thing.. this time using the empty function

[conan318]

I know what error means the only variable i have set is $img but i am unclear where the name is variable is meant to be coming from. and the script i have working on my other page does not set a name variable. i was amusing the name was coming form the $_files global variable.

<?php
$ext_a = explode(".", $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$ext = $ext_a[1];
/* hashes the file name with the date and time to genrate a uniue file name*/
$img=md5($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] . date("m.d.y H:m:s")) . "." . $ext;
$target_path = "back/";


$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 
$insert_user=mysql_query("INSERT INTO main.back (img) VALUES ('$img')") ;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

 

all working now i just got to put in a check to make sure its a img file being uploaded
