upload file

viper1975

ok here are the specs on the machine. os = win98 , php = 4.3.4 ,
webserver = apache 1.3.28. that may be the problem. i have spent 3 days trying to get this to work. i am very new to this. so any help i can get might fix it.
here is the problem the info that goes to the database is loaded just fine but the image and all image info does not load to the database at all.

here is the error i get.

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\apache group\apache\htdocs\viper\scrap\sbenter.php on line 14

and here is the code.

<?php
include'../header.php';

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['ulnp'] == upload) {

$file = $HTTP_POST_VARS['bin_file'];

$fo = fopen($file, "rb");
$data = fread($fo, filesize($file));

$text = $HTTP_POST_VARS['note'];
$date = date("m-d-Y");
$us = $_SESSION["user"];
$sbname = $HTTP_POST_VARS['sbname'];
$r2 = $con->query(" select * from sbname where sbname ='$sbname' and user = '$user'");
while ($row = $con->fetcharray($r2)) {
$type = $row['type'];
}

$result = $con->query("insert into scbook (user, type, creation_date, text, picture, file_name, file_size, file_type, sbname) values ('$us', '$type','$date', '$text', '$data', '$file_File_name', '$file_File_size', '$file_File_type', '$sbname')");

echo "<font face=verdana size=2>The file was successfully added to our database.<P>";
echo "<P><B>File Name: </B>". $file_File_name;
echo "<BR><B>File Size: </B>". $file_File_size ." bytes (approx ". ($file_File_size/1024) ." K😎";
echo "<P><B>File Type: </B>". $file_File_type;

}

Hi Viper,

Your problem seems to lie in the idea that the file upload box returns a specific name. It does not. It actually delivers an array with variables concerning the uploaded file, which you have to retrieve accordingly.

do a
print_r($_FILES);
and you'll notice what I mean, I suppose.

This is what I use:

in the form:
<input class=\"formel_1\" type=\"hidden\" name=\"upload\" value=\"uploadabstract\">
<input class=\"formel_1\" type=file name=file size=30>

In the processing:
$old_name = $FILES[file][name];
$file_name = $FILES[file][tmp_name];
$file_size = $_FILES[file][size];
