Problem with photo uploading form

MsKazza · November 11, 2011

Hi was hoping someone can tell me where i've gone wrong. its a form for the user to upload a picture and then goes to the process.php page, however it doesn't seem to work, it calls the error and goes back to books.php (form page)

books.php

This is wrong

<?php
$photo_link = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['photo_link']));
?>

the post is photo not photo_link

should be like this

<?php
$photo_link = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['photo']));
?>

MsKazza · November 11, 2011

Yeah i wish it was that easy, thanks for catching that but its still in the error loop.

AyKay47 · November 11, 2011

since this is a good chunk of code, let's make this a little easier, when you say an error is triggered, which error exactly is triggered?

MsKazza · November 11, 2011

id doesn't actually give any specific error message just the error function that is included in the code :

// make an error handler which will be used if the upload fails
function error($error, $location, $seconds = 5)
{
header("Refresh: $seconds; URL=\"$location\"");
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'."\n".
'"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">'."\n\n".
'<html lang="en">'."\n".
'	<head>'."\n".
'		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">'."\n\n".
'		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">'."\n\n".
'	<title>Upload error</title>'."\n\n".
'	</head>'."\n\n".
'	<body>'."\n\n".
'	<div id="Upload">'."\n\n".
'		<h1>Upload failure</h1>'."\n\n".
'		<p>An error has occured: '."\n\n".
'		<span class="red">' . $error . '...</span>'."\n\n".
'	 	The upload form is reloading</p>'."\n\n".
'	 </div>'."\n\n".
'</html>';
exit;
} // end error handler

AyKay47 · November 11, 2011

right but your $error argument differs in your code.. so what is the output of $error ?

MsKazza · November 11, 2011

ok someone said that this is far too complicated so i've tried it this way :

}



echo 'Thank you '. $first_name . ' for entering your details bro.<br />';
echo 'surname is : '. $photo . '.<br />';
echo 'sex is :  '. $sex . '.<br />';
echo 'age is: '. $age . ' .<br />';
echo 'bscf friend 1 is :  '. $bro_sis_cous_friend1 . '.<br />';
echo 'his_her is : '. $his_her . ' .<br />';
echo 'him_her is :  '. $him_her . '.<br />';

if (!mysql_query($sql))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }







?>

when i run just the upload code it works fine, but when i add it to the rest of the process.php page it stops working. I output i get it:

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!Thank you witch for entering your details bro.

surname is : .

sex is : girl.

age is: 55 .

bscf friend 1 is : Sister1.

his_her is : her .

him_her is : her.

I think i just have the code in the wrong order but well......

thanks
