Firstly the install. I updated the config file like is said then found out i needed to also update the install.php file.

I personally think the install file should create the config file on the fly so its much easier to use. Once i installed it i got nothing but errors.

You may need to include the header.php file.

There's a lot of basic problems with this, like not using isset or empty to check variables. You should be testing it with error_reporting(E_ALL) (or E_STRICT with php5) before releasing it...

hmmmm yeah the header.php and footer.php is really needed...if anything it would just be basic html stuff.

On the isset stuff. Basically if a variable isn't entered it will not upload (add) or edit it if I'm not mistaken.

I've been using this script on my site for months and months without a hitch...I know the install stuff is sketchy but that's cuz I usually just install new tables trhough phpadmin or something of that sort.

Is you are testing a variable you should always use [man]isset[/man] first especially in distribution scripts where you don't control the user's environment.

If you are testing an array key you should always use [man]array_key_exists[/man] first, especially in distribution script where you don't control the user's environment.

Just put error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top of your script and work on it until all the errors, warnings and notices go away. Then you've got a script that is ready for distribution.
