Problems displaying a picture on a form processing page

jackie11 · January 21, 2007

Hi

I am having difficulty displaying a picture which has been uploaded in a form

The code I use is:
[code]<form method="GET" action="form_display.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
[/code]

[code]

<?php $Employee_ID = $_GET['Employee_ID'];
$Surname = $_GET['Surname'];
$Forename = $_GET['Forename'];
$Job_title = $_GET['Job_title'];
$Office_location = $_GET['Office_location'];
$Telephone = $_GET['Telephone'];
$Email = $_GET['Email'];
$Expertise = $_GET['Expertise'];
$Hobbies = $_GET['Hobbies'];
$DOB = $_GET['DOB'];
$Picture = $_GET['Picture'];

?>

<table align="center" cellspacing="15">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;"><a href="$Picture" picture="
" border="0"><img src=<?php echo $Picture ?> picture="" border="0" height="100" width="90"></a></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[/code]

I know it is all over the place but I have been making changes to try and get it to display the picture any suggestions on how to set this up?

If the picture has been uploaded it will be in the $_FILES array, not $_GET. You might want to take a look at a tutorial or two regarding how to handle PHP file uploads.

Hi

I have already had a look at several tutorials but I just seem to be confusing my self more and more
as nothing seems to work, I continurewd to play around with the code and have come up with:

[code]

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<?php $Employee_ID = $_GET['Employee_ID'];
$Surname = $_GET['Surname'];
$Forename = $_GET['Forename'];
$Job_title = $_GET['Job_title'];
$Office_location = $_GET['Office_location'];
$Telephone = $_GET['Telephone'];
$Email = $_GET['Email'];
$Expertise = $_GET['Expertise'];
$Hobbies = $_GET['Hobbies'];
$DOB = $_GET['DOB'];

move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['Picture'] ['tmp_name'],
"../uploads/{$_FILES['Picture'] ['name']}")

?>

<table align="center" cellspacing="15">

<td style="text-align: center;"><a href="$Picture" picture="

Hi can anyone help with this, I have been working away on it but can't seem to get anything to work properly!

Well the variable $Picture is never defined.

jackie11 · January 21, 2007

Hi

Yes sorry my code is all over the place because I have been trying a number of things out, I know I need to define $Picture but am not sure how to do this after I have used the $_FILE, and copied the file from the temporary folder, is it something like:

[code]<?php $Employee_ID = $_GET['Employee_ID'];
$Surname = $_GET['Surname'];
$Forename = $_GET['Forename'];
$Job_title = $_GET['Job_title'];
$Office_location = $_GET['Office_location'];
$Telephone = $_GET['Telephone'];
$Email = $_GET['Email'];
$Expertise = $_GET['Expertise'];
$Hobbies = $_GET['Hobbies'];
$DOB = $_GET['DOB'];

move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['Picture'] ['tmp_name'],
"../uploads/{$_FILES['Picture'] ['name']}")

$picture= $_FILES ['Picture'];

?>

[/code]

You just use the url to the file. You put it in the uploads folder, so that's the start of the path. Then $_FILES['Picture'] ['name']

jackie11 · January 22, 2007

I still can't get this to work, I think its a problem with upload as after using the following code I get the message that "There was an error uploading your picture file, please try again!"

Any suggestions?

[code]<?php $Employee_ID = $_GET['Employee_ID'];
$Surname = $_GET['Surname'];
$Forename = $_GET['Forename'];
$Job_title = $_GET['Job_title'];
$Office_location = $_GET['Office_location'];
$Telephone = $_GET['Telephone'];
$Email = $_GET['Email'];
$Expertise = $_GET['Expertise'];
$Hobbies = $_GET['Hobbies'];
$DOB = $_GET['DOB'];

$target_path = "../page_g/pics/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['Picture']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Picture']['tmp_name'],
$target_path)) {echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['Picture']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading your picture file, please try again!";
}

$Picture = basename($_FILES['Picture']['name']);

?>
[/code]

I thought you were forced to use a POST method with enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form declaration?
