Picture Problems

Anon

Hi,

On this project I am working on, I have written code that changes the name of any picture that is uploaded to the server to that of the username.jpg.

It gets uploaded correctly as it is in the database, but when they get to the confirmation page it just shows up as an X and no picture.. Any ideas why it does this?

Thanks

print "Your picture has been uploaded correctly ";
print "<img src=\"$filedir/CUserName.jpg\">";

Have a look at the properties for the broken image and see if it is pointing to the right place... Sometimes extra characters can creep in and cause problems... Also, check that the server isn't case sensitive and if it is find a way to control image names...

If it shows up as "not found" it must mean the image is either not there. Either it is not named proper;y or it lives somewhere else.
can you find and see the image from your OS (without the browser)

maybe it depends on the server you store the data. Sometimes you need to use ./ for the home directory to point from there to correct directory. So, maybe you try
<img src=\"./$filedir/CUserName.jpg\">

With my provider it is the only way to point to the directory.

hey guys, thanks for all the help so far, it still is giving me trouble...here is my code:
<?PHP
//defines location
$filedir = "c:/phpweb/userpics";

//check for jpeg image type
if($fupload_type =="image/pjpeg")
{
//copies picture to new directory and renames to username
if(copy($fupload,"$filedir/$CUserName.jpg"))
{
//adds 'yes' to database so user can search only profiles with pictures.
print ("Your picture has been uploaded correctly ");
print ("<img src=\"./$filedir/$CUserName.jpg\">");
print " Not satisfied with the picture? Here's some tips on improving your picture: 
- ENTER TIP 1 
- ENTER TIP 2 
- ENTER TIP 3 ";

	$query="UPDATE clients SET CPicture='yes' WHERE CUserName='$CUserName'";
	if(!mysql_query($query))
		{
		print "A process has failed during the update.  Please report this incident to the Web Master (INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS HERE)<BR><BR>";
		return false;
		}
	return true;
	}
die ("Error in uploading. Please try again");
}

I tried adding the ./ infront of the file..but no luck...The picture it self is renamed properly and is in the right folder. if you check the properties in the browers it says it there, just that it won't display it.
Ideas?
