Can file_upload form and its process_php be at the same page ?

[jrotor]

Hi all,
I have image upload and its processing php code in the same page, and it looks like below.

<form name=UpForm enctype="multipart/form-data" method=post>
<input type="file" name="item_img" size="50">
<input type=BUTTON value="Upload it" onclick="JPG_Only(this.form, this.form.item_img.value)">
</form>

<?php
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $$key = trim($value);

if (isset($item_img)) {
process image here.

}
?>

form has javascript function onclick to filter non-JPG file extension.
However, It doesn't upload file.
So, can't they reside in the same file ?

Thank you.

Jake.

It should work if you move the PHP processing before the form code. (At least that's the way I always code it.)

No, it doesn't work.

Of course they can reside in the same file, and no the code doesn't need to be before the HTML, sheesh you people.

BUT, first off, theres no frickin submit button on your form, how are you going to submit it?

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload It" />

AND start "quoting" attributes in your XHTML.

Also, see this page to learn how to handle the uploaded file in your PHP. Here would be an appropriate time to scream RTFM, but I'm toon ice for that :-)

The submit is called from javascript function "JPG_Only".
I used this mechanism in other forms which works fine.
But those forms were not for file upload,..

Oh, good, then just change the code so that it appropriately handles the image that got uploaded...

Also note, image_item might NOT be set in POST vars, you should be checking in the $_FILES array
