passing variable from form

[bad_gui]

I searched this forum and found pieces of the answer I need but I can't figure out

what I am doing wrong.

 

I'm modifying a journal article database to give uploaded pdf files a descriptive name

rather than sequential numbers.  The article description is pulled from a public database

and then passed to the local db along with the pdf file, which is "filename".

 

//fetch.php  excerpt

    $journal_abbr = str_replace ('.','',$journal_abbr);
    $journal_abbr = str_replace (' ','_',$journal_abbr);
    $pdfname = $journal_abbr . $volume . "p" . $pages . ".pdf";

<FORM ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ACTION="index.php?action=upload" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="authors" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($names); ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="title" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($title); ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="journal" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($journal); ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="date1" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($date); ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mesh" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($mesh); ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="abstract" VALUE="<? print isset($abstract) ? htmlentities($abstract) : "No abstract available."; ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="pdfname" VALUE="<? print htmlentities($pdfname); ?>">

//upload.php

    $file = $_POST['pdfname'];
    $date2 = date('Y-m-d');

if (move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "$library_path$file")) {

    $query = "INSERT INTO library (file,authors,title,journal,category,date1,date2,abstract)
    VALUES ('$file','$authors','$title','$journal','$category','$_POST[date1]','$date2',
            '$abstract')";
    $result = mysql_query ($query);

 

Thanks.

Any errors?

No.  Below is the code I have to provide an error message but I just still see the form and file isn't in db

 

if (move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "$library_path$file")) {

    $query = "INSERT INTO library (file,authors,title,journal,category,date1,date2,abstract)
    VALUES ('$file','$authors','$title','$journal','$category','$_POST[date1]','$date2',
            '$abstract')";
    $result = mysql_query ($query);

    if (!$result) {
    die ("Could not upload into database: <br />" . mysql_error());
    }

 

 

 

I also tried this in the fetch script for passing the variable pdfname

 

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="pdfname" VALUE="<?php echo $pdfname; ?>">
