Multiple image upload problem

[Zgembo]

Does anyone see anything wrong with this code, I know there is something because It does not work. It is suppose to create a folder, rename pictures to picture1.jpg, picture2.jpg, etc.,put pictures inside that particular folder on file directory, and save a file path into database? Any ideas?

<?php
if(isset( $Submit ))
$ID=$_POST[ID];

mkdir("/var/www/html/Bella/upload/files/$ID", 0777);

//If the Submitbutton was pressed do:

$path="/var/www/html/Bella/upload/files/$ID/";
$i=1;
foreach($_FILES as $file=>$array) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'],$path."picture".$i.".jpg");
$i++;
}

/* Connecting, selecting database */
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass")
or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
echo "<P>Connected successfully<BR>";

$dbname="database";
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Could not select database");

/* add the new information into the database*/
$query="UPDATE client_info SET path='$path' where ID =$ID";

if(!mysql_db_query($dbname,$query,$link)) die(mysql_error());
echo "<br>Good! Information has been succesfuly entered.";
echo "<br>";
echo "<a href=\"upload.php\">Click here to return to the form page.</a>";
?>

can you be more specific? what doesn't work? you should set error_reporting = E_ALL so you can see what (if anything) is failing.

weird thing is that there is no error message, it seems like it works but in reality it does not. If you can't figure this one out can you give me an sample of how you would do it?

[devinemke]

have you configured PHP to spit out all errors?

[Zgembo]

well to be honest, I don't think I have a control over that...my host does. However, I do receive error messages on other pages that I am working on and they are on the same host.

Lets put this problem in to pieces and go from there..

1. Does it create the direcory?
2. Does it upload allright? (probably doesnt if directory doesnt exist)
3. Does the mysql query work(ie. does it put the right pathname)

If it doesnt create the directory, the problem probably is that the "files" directory doesnt have correct rights.

If mkdir is succesfull but upload fails, it could be that your host has set up wrong upload_tmp_dir. My best bet is that your problem lies here. You can use print_r($FILES) to see where it is putting the tmp file. Or just echo $FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'].

If your host has open_basedir restriction and safe_mode & the upload_tmp_dir is set to somewhere else than your home or includedir, upload fails.

what is $Submit ? if it is from a POST form submit, you should use like other vars as $_POST['Submit ']. Assume "register_globals = Off"

sure you do. paste the following at the top of your script:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ok here is the error message after I added

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/html/Bella/upload/play.php on line 15

and here is the code of play.php

<?php 
if(isset( $Submit ))
$ID=$_POST[ID];
$folder="/var/www/html/Bella/upload/files/$ID/";
if(!is_dir($folder)) { 
    mkdir($folder, 0777); 
}
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//If the Submitbutton was pressed do:

$path="/var/www/html/Bella/upload/files/$ID/";
$i=1;
foreach($_FILES as $file=>$array) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'],$path."picture".$i.".jpg");
$i++;
} 

/* Connecting, selecting database */
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass")
or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error());
echo "<P>Connected successfully<BR>";

$dbname="database";
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Could not select database");

/* add the new information into the database*/
$query="UPDATE client_info SET path='$path' where ID =$ID";

if(!mysql_db_query($dbname,$query,$link)) die(mysql_error());
echo "<br>Good! Information has been succesfuly entered.";
echo "<br>";
echo "<a href=\"upload.php\">Click here to return to the form page.</a>";
?>
