[Resolved] Upload problem

[lee_umney]

I am having trouble getting an html edit page for to work, a script basically, I want to show an image and abelow have the option to delete it and upload another image. I can edit the text and the images stored show ok but I have the following problems:-

The delete works fine as does showing the image but the upload doesn't work.

Image display, delete and upload script.
<? if(strlen($photo1) > 1)
{
echo "<img src=$photodir$photo1 width=100 name=photo_1 value=$photo1><br>".
"<input type=checkbox name=photo1_del value=1>".
" &nbsp; Delete above image";
}?>

	<input type="file" name="photo_1" size="40" maxlength="80">

The delete image script works.

if($_POST['photo1_del'] == 1)
{
unlink($photodir . $photo1);
$photo1 = '';
}

Photo upload script, I use the same one in a 'add' form on the same site and that works great.

if($HTTP_POST_FILES['photo_1']['size'] > 1)
{
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['photo_1']['tmp_name'], $photodir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['photo_1']['name']);
$photo1 = $HTTP_POST_FILES['photo_1']['name'];
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it seems that you've lost the value for photo1 each time u pressed the delete button. Try storing the value into a hidden variable say photo2.

The photo is not uploaded, sometimes I get the path to the photo i.e j:\car phots\mondeo1.jpg but nothing else.
In the add form I used, same code as for the edit form, it works perfectly.

is there any difference between $photo1 and $photo_1 in ur code?

As I found it difficult to understand $photo1 and $photo_1 in:

<? if(strlen($photo1) > 1)
{
echo "<img src=$photodir$photo1 width=100 name=photo_1 value=$photo1><br>".
"<input type=checkbox name=photo1_del value=1>".
" Delete above image";
}?>

$photo1 is the value of the current picture and $photo_1 is the uploaded picture.
The upload script should check to see if an image was uploaded, $photo_1 and then copy it to the folder on the server, then assign its value to $photo1, $photo1 is then entered into the db.

The upload script works fine on an add page but it doesn't seem to upload anything on the edit page.
I can't understand why its not working now.
