Can somene help with this

Here is what I have worked out so far.

This is not all the code for putting the file name and the location in the database but this is what I am trying to use to upload the file.

PHP Code:


		
			
global $strDesc; 

global $fileUpload; 

global $fileUpload_name; 

global $fileUpload_size; 

global $fileUpload_type; 





//check to see if their is a file with that name already

$base_Dir = "Members/";

if (file_exists($base_Dir.$fileUpload_name))

    {

    echo "A file with that name already exist.  Please change your file name and try again.";

    exit;

    }



//upload the file  Line 16 is below this    

copy($fileUpload,$base_Dir.$fileUpload_name); 



if (!is_uploaded_file ($fileUpload))

    {

        echo "<b>$userfile_name</b> couldn't be uploaded !!";

    }



// check whether it has been uploaded



if (is_uploaded_file ($userfile))

    {

        echo "<b>$userfile_name</b> uploaded succesfully !!";

    }

//This is line 30 Below for the errors.

if (!move_uploaded_file ($fileUpload, $base_Dir))

    { 

        echo "Failed to copy $userfile_name";

    }

I am getting these errors.

hi there,

This might help u out a bit.

first is a html form that lets you search for a file and upload it.

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload a File</title>
</head>

<body>

<h1>Upload a File</h1>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="do_upload.php">

<p><strong>File to Upload:</strong><br>
<input type="file" name="your_file" size="30"></p>

<P><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File"></p>

</form>
</body>

</html>

Second is the php script that takes the file and stores it in your chosen directory.

<?

if ($_FILES['your_file'] != "") {

copy($_FILES['your_file']['tmp_name'], "C:\FoxServ\www\".$_FILES['your_file']['name'])
or die("Couldn't copy the file!");

} else {

die("No input file specified");
}

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Successful File Upload!</title>
<body>

<h1>Success!</h1>

<P>You sent: <? echo $_FILES['your_file']['name'] ?>, a <? echo $_FILES['your_file']['size'];
?> byte file with a mime type of <? echo $_FILES['your_file']['type']; ?>.</p>

</body>
</html>

Remember to replace the directory path with the one that matches your settings / chosen file destination!

Good luck.

Ps. Did you get the blob tutorial working? - if so what web server / php / mysql versions are you running?

Sorry I should have responded sooner...I got my code working thanks for your response though....WIll look at what you put and what I got to streamline the process.

As far as teh blob. I used the tutorial and was able to upload pictures absolutely no problem. But any other file format was garbage.

I gave up on it....Perfer to have them go to a directory less Database dependent.

If you got a question thought shoot it at me will do my best to help.

I am self tought with PHP and MySql

Hey Attilla,

Any chance of posting your code so I could see it, I am trying to do something similar to what you have been doing and would very much like to see how you tackled the problem!

Or you could mail it to me if you prefer.

No problem here you go. This is the page that members fill out.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "logon", "pass");

mysql_select_db("database", $link);

$name = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM member WHERE name = '$logon' AND password = PASSWORD('$password')", $link);

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($name);

if ($num_rows <= 0)

    {

        echo "<p align= center>You have entered a wrong user name or password.<br></p>";

        echo "<div align=center>please try again.";

        exit;

    }

$selectrecord = ("SELECT FROM member WHERE name = '$logon' AND password = PASSWORD('$password')");



$result = mysql_query($selectrecord, $link) or die ("Query failed");

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);



while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){

            $memberid = $row->memberid;

            $name = $row->name;

            $password = $row->password;

            $gamename = $row->gamename;

            $tfd = $row->tfd;

            $bhd = $row->bhd;

            $gametag = $row->gametag;

            $perweapon = $row->perweapon;

            $picture = $row->picturedata;

            $picturetype = $row->$picturetype;

            $quote = $row->quote;

            $status = $row->status;

            $position = $row->position;

            $email = $row->email;

            $msn = $row->msn;

            $icq = $row->icq;

This is the page that collects the info and puts what you are looking for the picture into the directory...Mind you I do not care what my members upload. This is jsut for an internet gamming squad....So you might want to add some protection code. If you need help with that let me know.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

global $fileUpload; //were the file is uploaded to

global $fileUpload_name; //file name

global $fileUpload_size; //file size

global $fileUpload_type; //file type



if ($fileUpload_size > 0)

{

    $test = 1;

    $base_Dir = "Directry you want the file to upload...EX /home/yourwebsite/Uploads/";

    $base_Dir1 = "/Uploads/";



    if (!is_uploaded_file($fileUpload))

        {

            echo "The file did not upload";

            exit;

        }



    $upfile = $base_Dir.$fileUpload_name;



    if ( !copy($fileUpload, $upfile))

        {

            echo "Could not move the file";

            exit;

        }

    echo "<div align=center>Your Picture was uploaded successfully.</div><br><br>";

}

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "logon", "pass");

mysql_select_db("database", $link);

              

$name = mysql_query("SELECT memberid FROM member WHERE memberid = '$memberid'", $link);

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($name);



if ($num_rows <= 0)

    {

        echo "<p align= center>A Database error has occured please try again later.</p>";

        exit;

    }

if ($test === 1)

    {

        $updaterecord = "UPDATE member SET gamename = '$gamename', gametag = '$gametag', perweapon = '$perweapon', picturedata = '$base_Dir1', picturename = '$fileUpload_name', picturetype = '$fileUpload_type', quote = '$quote', status = '$status', position = '$position', email = '$email', msn = '$msn', icq = '$icq', aol = '$aol', yahoo = '$yahoo', website = '$website' WHERE memberid = '$memberid'";

    }

    else

    {

        $updaterecord = "UPDATE member SET gamename = '$gamename', gametag = '$gametag', perweapon = '$perweapon', quote = '$quote', status = '$status', position = '$position', email = '$email', msn = '$msn', icq = '$icq', aol = '$aol', yahoo = '$yahoo', website = '$website' WHERE memberid = '$memberid'";

    }







$result = mysql_query($updaterecord) or die ("Query failed");



echo "<div align=center>Your information has been adjusted and saved.</div><br>";

?>
