if file exists, do it, if it doesn't name it "done". Not working

[Ninjakreborn]

Below I have the following code.  It was seeming to work fine, what I need is 2 things.
1. If the file was an attempted upload, it goes ahead and validates, uploads, and moves the file to the proper folder (all of that works)
2. If the file was not an attempted upload, I need the
if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name1, $target1)) {
$name = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
}else {
$name = "none";
}
here, I need the $name variable to be changed to know.
But it seems whether they try to upload a file ornot, it's not putting none in the database.  Or atleast not all the time, is there something wrong with the logic flow of my code below?
[code]
<?php
if (!empty($_FILES['file1'])) {
$file1 = $_FILES['file1'];
$name = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
$tmp_name1 = $file1['tmp_name'];
$target = $docroot . "/userfiles/"; // prepare target url
$target1 = $target . $name;
if (file_exists($target1)) {
$no = "no";
}else {
if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name1, $target1)) {
$name = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
}else {
$name = "none";
}
}

} // end file working
?>
[/code]

If I understand you correctly, if the user does NOT attempt to upload a value you want $name to be set to "none".

the way I read it, the problem is that all of that code is only run if the first conditional (!empty($_FILES['file1'])) is true. So, $name would only be set to "none" if the user uploaded a file and the filemove failed. I think what you want is this:

[code]<?php
if (!empty($_FILES['file1'])) {
    $file1 = $_FILES['file1'];
    $name = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
    $tmp_name1 = $file1['tmp_name'];
    $target = $docroot . "/userfiles/"; // prepare target url
    $target1 = $target . $name;
    if (file_exists($target1)) {
        $no = "no";
    }else {
        if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name1, $target1)) {
            $name = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
        } else {
            //error handling
        }
    }
} else {
    $name = "none";
}
?>[/code]

that didn't work either, I had to just test for "" instead when I display the pictures.
FOr some reason that wasn't working, I treid that a few times.  what you just showed.
