Image Uploading and calling

run2web

I want to upload an image to a directory on the server and have the database call the image from the directory. I do not want to store the image in the database but want the database to know where to find the image on the server. So far I can get the image uploaded into the tmp directory but I cannot get it moved into the directory where it will reside on the server and then have it (the image) show up on the page that shows the information that was entered into the database

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help a php newbie.

I have tried all of the different codes and followed Julie Meloni's steps to the letter and I am contiually getting errors that say that the file cannot be moved. I have entered in the correct home address and entered in the correct move to address. I am beating my head against the wall here because I cannot find out what this simple problem is. ANY Help would be appreciated

Precisely what errors are you getting? Have you checked that the server has permission to write stuff into the destination directory (for example)?

I have gotten a multitude of errors. I have made sure that the CHMOD is set to 777 and that all of my absolute paths are correct. It tells me that it cannot write to the directory. When I look at the db it shows that the image is uploaded into the temp directory (tmp) but when I try to move it, it does nothing.

Hmmm, so that's not it... (yeah, it's the first thing I usually check, too 🙂.

Could you put up the code that's dealing with the files so's we can see what it is trying to do?

Here is the code that I am using to move the images:

if ($Primary_image != "") {

@copy("$Primary_image", "/home/bbrv/www/newsite/new_layout/usedrvs/$Primary_image")
	or die("");

} else {

die("No input file specified");

}
