do i have to pass a parameter to this function?

[har_dick]

hi, sorry for insisting on the same thread....

ok another ....question:

do I have to pass a parameter to every function in the file that involves working with a query and a submit form ?

I think I may have the same problem with the submit_image() function listed below:

<?php

function submit_final()
{
	$date = date("M d, Y");

$conn = db_connect();

$time = time();

$sql = "insert into imagesdb (filename, image, stars, plot, poster) values ('$filename', '$image', '$stars', '$plot', '$poster')";

$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn);

if (!$result) {
print "There was an error on dbase executing.<PRE>$sql</PRE>";
print mysql_error();
exit;
}

if ($poster_name != "")
{    
	move_uploaded_file("$poster", "/home/mywebbsite/public_html/images/images/$poster_name") or die("Couldn't Upload Your File.");

} else {

	die("Didnt upload any file at all!");
}

if (!$story)
{
	$story = mysql_insert_id();

$sql = "update imagesdb set poster = '$poster_name' where id = $story";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn);

echo "<center><font face='arial' size='2'><b>Well done !</b></font></center>"; 
	}
}
?>

I call my submitfile.php like this:

<?php
include functions.php

// bla bal bal 
submit_final();
?>

thanks for answering 🙂

the only time you NEED parametes is when a function is defined like...

function fun_name($var1, $var2)
{
  //some function
}

this function would require 2 params....
