Help with Another Uploading issue

artisticre

I have a database that is for greeting cards. Some card packs have 5 images, some have 4, and some have 3. The following code works if I upload all five, but how do I make it work if I only upload 3 or 4?

if(isset( $Submit ))

{

if ($FILES['image1']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image1']['type'] && $FILES['image2']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image2']['type'] && $FILES['image3']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image3']['type'] && $FILES['image4']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image4']['type'] && $FILES['image5']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image5']['type'] )

{

copy ($FILES['image1']['tmp_name'], "../greetingcards/".$FILES['image1']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");

copy ($FILES['image2']['tmp_name'], "../greetingcards/".$FILES['image2']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");

copy ($FILES['image3']['tmp_name'], "../greetingcards/".$FILES['image3']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");

copy ($FILES['image4']['tmp_name'], "../greetingcards/".$FILES['image4']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");

copy ($_FILES['image5'

hey there...

firstly instead of using copy(), i use move_uploaded_file()...

now... personally i would make an array out of the files then use foreach() to loop thru the array... im not exactly sure how you would implement this with $FILES['userfile']['name'] but i think it would look something like...

if($_POST["submit"]) {

foreach($_FILES['userfile']['name'] as $value) {

move_uploaded_files();

} 

}

or something to that effect

I don't follow what you are tying to show me. Could you explain a little further. I don't see how this will allow me to proceed with only 3 or 4 images when this is code to upload 5 images.

thanks

on the form you would have

this would create the array userfile[], with the value of the file....

once the form is submited you can then use:


$uploaddir = '/path/to/upload/';
if($_POST["submit"]) { 

foreach($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] as $value) { 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name']);


}  

}

I figured it all out and it does copy the images into the folder but I also have code to insert the path into a database. When I run the code now, it puts the word array into the database instead of the image.

if(isset( $Submit ))

{

if ($FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image']['type'] )

{

$uploaddir = '../greetingcards';
if($_POST["submit"]) {

foreach($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] as $value) {

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']

, $uploaddir . $_FILES['image']['name']);

}

$tmp_image1 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image2 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image3 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image4 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image5 = $_FILES['image']['name'];

$IMG = "INSERT INTO card_images (image1, image2, image3, image4, image5) VALUES ('$$tmp_image1','$tmp_image2','$tmp_image3','$tmp_image4','$tmp_image5)";
$IMGResult = mysql_query($IMG) or die(mysql_error());
$card_imageid= mysql_insert_id();

$CAT = "INSERT INTO card_category (card_category) VALUES ('$card_category')";
$CATResult = mysql_query($CAT) or die(mysql_error());
$card_catid= mysql_insert_id();

$SQL = "INSERT INTO greetingcards (card_name, card_demensions, card_assort, card_price, card_catid, card_imageid) VALUES ('$card_name', '$card_demensions','$card_assort','$card_price','$card_catid','$card_imageid')";
$SQLResult = mysql_query($SQL) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Copy Done....";
}

else
{
echo "<br><br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$FILES['image1']['name'].")<br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$FILES['image2']['name'].")<br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$FILES['image3']['name'].")<br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$FILES['image4']['name'].")<br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['image5']['name'].")<br>";

}

$tmp_image1 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image2 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image3 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image4 = $FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp_image5 = $_FILES['image']['name'];

$IMG = "INSERT INTO card_images (image1, image2, image3, image4, image5) VALUES ('$$tmp_image1','$tmp_image2','$tmp_image3','$tmp_image4','$tmp_image5)";
$IMGResult = mysql_query($IMG) or die(mysql_error());
$card_imageid= mysql_insert_id();

this will insert the same file name to all $tmp_image1-5, you need to change them accordingly to
$tmp_image1 = $FILES['image']['name'][0];
$tmp_image2 = $FILES['image']['name'][1];

etc...

also....

... VALUES ('$tmp_image1','$tmp_image2' ....

This is what I have. It isn't copying the image to the folder but is placing the first letter of the image name in the database. I am so confused!!

if(isset( $Submit ))

{

if ($FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image']['type'] )

{

$uploaddir = '../greetingcards';
if($_POST["submit"]) {

foreach($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] as $value) {

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']

, $uploaddir . $_FILES['image']['name']);

}

$tmp_image1 = $FILES['image']['name'][0];
$tmp_image2 = $FILES['image']['name'][1];
$tmp_image3 = $FILES['image']['name'][2];
$tmp_image4 = $FILES['image']['name'][3];
$tmp_image5 = $_FILES['image']['name'][4];

echo $tmp_image3;

$IMG = "INSERT INTO card_images (image1, image2, image3, image4, image5) VALUES ('$tmp_image1[0]','$tmp_image2[1]','$tmp_image3[2]
','$tmp_image4[3]','$tmp_image5[4]')";
$IMGResult = mysql_query($IMG) or die(mysql_error());
$card_imageid= mysql_insert_id();

This code isn't working. If you read down in the post, I have greeting card packets that we sell. Some packs have 3 card images, some have 4, and some have 5. I am having a problem creating the script to insert the images in a database if there are less than 5 images. I am very new at php and am struggling with this one. Any suggestions would be great.

if(isset( $Submit ))

{

if ($FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif" || $FILES['image']['type'] )

{

$uploaddir = '../greetingcards';
if($_POST["submit"]) {

foreach($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] as $value) {

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']

, $uploaddir . $_FILES['image']['name'][0]);

}

echo $tmp_image3;

$CAT = "INSERT INTO card_category (card_category) VALUES ('$card_category')";
$CATResult = mysql_query($CAT) or die(mysql_error());
$card_catid= mysql_insert_id();

echo "Copy Done....";
}

}
