HoTDaWg Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hello,I am creating a photo gallery for the awsome people on my site (if any lol). What I am doing is once the image is uploaded, I want all the info added to a database. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I can not seem to get the location of the file once it is uploaded right. Take a look at the dumping data of my mySql database once I export it:[code]-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump-- version 2.6.4-pl2-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net-- -- Host: localhost-- Generation Time: Mar 13, 2006 at 05:22 PM-- Server version: 4.1.14-- PHP Version: 4.3.11-- -- Database: `cortez_photoalbums`-- -- ---------------------------------------------------------- -- Table structure for table `images`-- CREATE TABLE `images` ( `id` int(15) NOT NULL auto_increment, `imageurl` blob NOT NULL, `titled` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `contributedby` varchar(22) NOT NULL default '', `date` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=6;-- -- Dumping data for table `images`-- INSERT INTO `images` VALUES (1, 0x2275706c6f6164732f22202e20245f46494c45535b2266696c65225d5b226e616d65225d, '4', 'some_guy', '03.13.06');INSERT INTO `images` VALUES (2, 0x2275706c6f6164732f225b2266696c65225d5b226e616d65225d, '1', 'some_guy', '03.13.06');INSERT INTO `images` VALUES (3, 0x2275706c6f6164732f225b2266696c65225d5b226e616d65225d, '7', 'some_guy', '03.13.06');INSERT INTO `images` VALUES (4, 0x2275706c6f6164732f225b226e616d65225d, '6', 'some_guy', '03.13.06');INSERT INTO `images` VALUES (5, 0x282275706c6f6164732f22202e20245f46494c45535b2266696c65225d5b226e616d65225d29, '5', 'asd', '03.13.06');[/code]weird eh?

ToonMariner Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 $imageurl = '("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])';change to...$imageurl = "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];php will not interpret the variable correctly in a single quote string (I see you concatenate but you still have a closing quote).

Barand Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If imageurl is a string value, why have you defined it as BLOB. Use varchar(255) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4873-file-uploader-getting-the-location-of-the-just-uploaded-file/#findComment-17167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
