insterting data into the middle of a page

[blueman378]

ok what i want is so that i can get a picture and add it into a page using php

 

eg

---Body start---

content

more content

a picture

(i want to insert a picture here)

(i want it insert the content here)

content

another picture

---body end---

so how would i go about doing this from a form eg a user uploads a picture it will add it in where i have shown and they can choose a description to go under the picture

 

cheers matt

I suppose you could have a div with no specific height given to it so if it is empty then you wopn't see empty space.

 

I would have a form where you can upload an image and the content maybe on another page and on th epoage in question, in the div connect to the database and get that record that you want to display.

 

Also when you save the content, save the filename in the database also so you can use it as a reference

 

You could do something like this

 

<?php

/**
* Change the email address to your own.
*
* $empty_fields_message and $thankyou_message can be changed
* if you wish.
*/

// This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please go back and complete all the fields in the form.</p>Click <a class='two' href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>here</a> to go back";

// This is displayed when the email has been sent
$thankyou_message = "<p>Thankyou. Article successfully added.</p>";


//This is the directory where images will be saved 
$target = "../images/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['image']['name']); 

//This gets all the other information from the form
$name = addslashes($_POST['txtName']);
$message = addslashes($_POST['txtMessage']);
$pic=($_FILES['image']['name']);

$th_file_name = "../images/large/" . $_FILES['image']['name']; 

if (!empty($pic)) { 

    $imagepath = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; 

    // Load image 
    $image = open_image($imagepath); 

    if ($image == false) { 
        die ('<strong>You uploaded an invalid image. Please go back and try again.</strong>'); 
    } 

    // Get original width and height 
    $width = imagesx($image); 
    $height = imagesy($image); 

    // Percentage? 
    if (!empty($_POST['percent']) AND is_numeric($_POST['percent'])) { 
        $percent = floatval($_POST['percent']); 
        $percent = $percent/100; 

        $new_width = $width * $percent; 
        $new_height = $height * $percent; 

    // New width? Calculate new height 
    } elseif (!empty($_POST['new_width']) AND is_numeric($_POST['new_width'])) { 
        $new_width = floatval($_POST['new_width']); 
        $new_height = $height * ($new_width/$width); 

    // New height? Calculate new width 
    } elseif (!empty($_POST['new_height']) AND is_numeric($_POST['new_height'])) { 
        $new_height = floatval($_POST['new_height']); 
        $new_width = $width * ($new_height/$height); 

    // New height and new width 
    } elseif (!empty($_POST['height']) AND is_numeric($_POST['height']) AND !empty($_POST['width']) AND is_numeric($_POST['width'])) { 
        $new_height = floatval($_POST['height']); 
        $new_width = floatval($_POST['width']); 
    } else { 
        die ('<strong>You didn\'t specify any resizing options.</strong>'); 
    }     

    // Resample 
    $image_resized = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height); 
    imagecopyresampled($image_resized, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height); 

    // Display resized image  
    imagejpeg($image_resized,$th_file_name,100); 
} 

// Display the upload form: 


if (!isset($_POST['txtName'])) {

?>
