[RESOLVED] Image Upload Problems

reflash

I'm trying to write a script for a client's website that will allow him to upload an image and some text to separate fields in a table. I'm not really sure of how to go about getting the image to upload. I'm able to browse to the image, and I can get the text to upload, but the image field is blank ([BLOB - 0 Bytes]). Can anyone point me to somewhere that can help with this? I need to keep it as simple as possible for the client as he is not very technically savvy. Thanks.

Try using the addslashes() function to your data stream before insertion into the MySQL table.

// Page One - UploadPicture1.php
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="UploadPicture2.php" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
 <input name="UserFile" type="file" size="25">
 <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload Pictures">
</form>


// Page Two - UploadPicture2.php
// Be sure to use addslashes or data won't input into MySQL table.
$FileData = addslashes(fread(fopen($UserFile, "rb"), filesize($UserFile)));
@ mysql_query("INSERT INTO PictureTable ( id, BinData, ... )
VALUES ('$id', '$FileData', ...)");

Eh... I believe Volitics assumed register_globals is On, which it should never ever ever EVER be. In addition, $UserFile should be an array. Try something like this:

$FileData = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['UserFile']['tmp_name']));

and then use $FileData in your INSERT SQL statement. (Don't forget to adjust variable names, such as the $_FILES index, as necessary, according to your HTML setup and whatnot).

In addition, $UserFile should be an array.

bradgrafelman is right. Sorry for the mistake. Hope I didn't confuse anyone.
