Photos not appearing

[garydt]

I've just uploaded a website that lets people upload photos. I've been testing it and the photos aren't appearing on the webpages after i've uploaded them. Yet they are going into the folders. why would this be?

Thanks.

[bbaker]

maybe the path to the folder isn't correct with the img tags?

Code is lovely you know.

People cant help if they dont see what code your using.

[garydt]

$big = $row_Recordset2['bigimagename'];

 

<a href="editphoto.php"><img src="<?php print $big;?>" border="0" align="top" /></a></td> 

 

The photo is displayed on webpage when i try it locally but not on the remote server. I've created the same folders on the remote servers that i have locally so paths should be the same.

Heres what in the $row_Recordset2['bigimagename'] field-

./thumbnails/P6040019.JPG

I'm still struggling.

Any ideas?

Can you paste a link with the path to the script, and also a path to the image which should show up?

[HuggieBear]

Also, when the page is rendered, right click it and look at the source.  Does the path to the image look correct there?

post the code in the page edit.php

This is the path to the image when i right click on where the image should be-

http://www.elvis-people.com/smallpics/P6040012.JPG

The path is right although in the database it is stored aas '.smallpics/P6040012.JPG'

is this right?

 

Script for uploading the photo-

$uploadsDirectory = './uploads/'; 

$uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$fieldname['name'];

move_uploaded_file($fieldname['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename);

resizeimage($fieldname['name']);
$smallimage = './thumbnails/'.$_FILES['file']['name'];

resizelarger($fieldname['name']);
$smallpics = './smallpics/'.$_FILES['file']['name'];

unlink($uploadFilename);

mysql_select_db($database_elvisdb, $elvisdb);
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO images (imageName, bigimagename, usnm, bigcaption) VALUES ('$smallimage', '$smallpics', '$user', %s)", 

 

script for displaying photo

 $big = $row_Recordset2['bigimagename'];
<td valign="top" aliign="CENTER">
             <a href="editphoto.php"><img src="<?php print $big;?>" border="0" align="top" /></a></td>
[code]

It works locally but not on the server.  hope i've given the right information you asked for.

[/code]

phpknight - what do you mean by - link with the path to the script.

Thanks

[suma237]

try this

$big = $row_Recordset2['bigimagename'];

 

<td valign="top" aliign="CENTER">

 

            <a href="editphoto.php?id=<?=$big?>">click here to view</a></td>

edit.php

$id1=$_REQUEST['id'];

<img src="<?=id1?>" border="0" align="top" />

[garydt]

Thanks but i don't think that will work because i need the photo to appear straightaway.

[garydt]

Any more suggestions?

[garydt]

i tried that suggestion and the photo still isn't appearing.

What can i try next?

[phpknight]

So, are you saying the image gets to the server but won't display, or that you cannot get it there?  I ask this because when I clicked on that JPG link, I got an e404.

 

I threw a test blue square up there.  Where it says to click on the image to edit, the IMG tag is just "".  Let me know if I am in the wrong place.

[garydt]

Thanks alot

I've managed to crack it. I had set the permissions for the photos folders to read/write/execute for everyone and now the photos are appearing.

Is that ok, security-wise?

[phpknight]

Gary,

 

Probably not.  If you have your own server, you should be able to run php with suexec and do that with fewer permissions.  I had to do the same thing when I was on a shared server.
