Image problems

[blitzwing]

I've got two strange problems working with images. First, some pictures won't upload to my site. I've got a script that works for some, and not for others. Would there be any reason why one jpg would work, and another doesn't? I'm checking the mime type for jpg files when uploading them.

Second, on some of the pictures that manage to upload I can't use the getimagesize() function. It works fine for some pics, not fine for others.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to either of these. Any ideas?

is it larger images that are not uploading?

Not that I have noticed, at least none that are larger than others I've been able to upload successfully.

Maybe there are characters in the name of some pictures which the server you're uploading to doesn't allow? Or some characters which get changed when uploading, like 'é' turns into 'e'.

No, I can name the files anything. It turns out that it doesn't work in certain situations.

The setup of the app is basically bunch of registered users. Then each user can post multiple pages which contain their cars. Each car page then can have multiple pictures. So it's basically got a database with three tables. The image names are stored in the database, and the files are renamed with a set convention. Now depending on the car page, an image might upload or it might not. The image doesn't matter, it's more the page. There is a addcar.php form which links to an addcar2.php(I know, but I'm still a novice). Something doesn't seem to be working when the car ID equals 14 for example. The data(model, year....) is entered for car ID 14, but none of the images work. It works fine when car ID equals 31.

The code is a mess, but like I said, it's my first project.... 😉

I'll post some of the code when I get more than a minute, but hopefully somebody has a remote idea.
