Edit Images in PHP Form

cswales

I have attached the page of code. I am trying to perform an update on the four image fields. When you select the image it works without a problem.
The problem is as follows:
If for example you only wanted to update image one, the selection of the upload works without a problem and it posts the filename to the database, the filename for image one, two and three is changed to array. I have tried loads of things and cannot get around this.
What I want to do is basically if only image one is selected for update only that field is updated and the other 3 are left as they are.
I have also attached an image of the php page generated.

I hope someone can help me figure this out.

Can anyone help with this problem.

Have you checked the contents of the photo fields before / after the update? I had a quick look through the code and didn't spot anything.

Hi
The contents are queried from the database.
What I need to do is if a new entry is not placed in the images boxes (to upload)
then the database entry is held as the value for that field.
If it is changed then the new image is uploaded and written to the db field.

Do you definitely have a problem with that then? That it throws something bad into the field if the previous value wasn't changed? If so, it should be perfectly possible to check the incoming value. If it's empty, then leave it alone rather than overwrite it with an empty field.

Just two things:

This shouldn't cause your "array" issue. It should just display a blank value.
How would someone specify that they want to remove an image, if they can't blank it?

Hi
Thanks for your response.
All I really need is a screen for the user to upload new images (and over write old ones) If there is a delete function then great.
Do you have any samples of such a screen that I could see?
I have tried searching the net but cannot find anything.

Shouldn't be a major effort. I don't have one made already, sorry. 🙁

Do you know exactly what the script you have is doing wrong? If you can accurately define what the problem is, it should be easy to fix it.

Basically the upload and updating of the new image works.

For example if you select one new image and submit the form it creates the record in the db table and upload to the folder on the server.
The problem is the other 3 image field get updated in the db with the word 'ARRAY'
I have tried loads of things to get it working and nothing seems to do the trick.
