[Resolved] [Resolved] Image Upload Verification

[ThaSpY]

Hey there, I know this sounds extremely simple but, I have a form that will upload an image, but I want to check to make sure that it wasn't left empty.

I've tried:

if ($_FILES["imagevar"]["tmp_name"){
//image was entered
}else{
//image was not entered
}

But to no avail. Is there another way or am I just crazy? 😃 Thanks.

you can check the server to see if the file was actually uploaded with this code:

if (!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES[$fileName]['tmp_name'])) {}

but if you're just trying to see if the field where you'd specify the filename is blank, you can do it this way:

if ($fieldName == "") {}

This is normally how I do it:

//In the next line $userfile gets the name of the file that was uploaded
$userfile = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

//Error checking to make sure that they actually uploaded a file.
if(!empty($userfile)) 
{
//File was not empty, Do your actions to the file here:
}
else
{
//Filename was empty, echo  to the user.
echo "You must choose a file to upload!  <BR><BR>Hit your browser back button to choose a file.";
}

Sorry guys, after much frustration, I found the problem to lie in the form tag. It lacked enctype="multipart/form-data". After adding that in, it worked fine. Thanks again.
