[RESOLVED] Image overwriting wrong file

[AnarchistX]

Hello everyone,

I've gotten the script I've been working on to work fairly well, thanks to the debugging help of ClarkF1.

I've now run into another problem just when I thought I had it.

I have 6 upload forms on one page, and when you hit any of the 6 submits, a picID gets sent to uploader.php which determines which submit you used.

It then renames the picture accordingly.

Example: I hit submit on upload 5, the image uploads and gets renamed to 5_img.jpg

The problem I'm having is that, when I run through the form for the first time, starting from upload 1 to 6, they all upload fine, and are named correctly.

However, when I go back and change any of the uploads, ( say I upload a new image into upload3), it changes 6_img.jpg with the image instead of 3_image.jpg.

Whatever else I try to change, only 6_img.jpg changes.

Correct Examples: upload1 --> 1_img.jpg
upload2 --> 2_img.jpg
upload3 --> 3_img.jpg

etc...

Incorrect Examples: upload1 --> 6_img.jpg
upload2 --> 6_img.jpg

etc...

Here is the uploader.php

<?
// Connect to DATABASE
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","******","******");

// Connect to Table and stores connection as variable: conn
$db = mysql_select_db("******_academicPrograms", $conn);;

// Queries the user input data with the database data
$result = MYSQL_QUERY("SELECT * from academicPrograms")
   or die ("Data not found");

// Gets boolean value of whether the query worked
$worked = mysql_fetch_array($result);

// Gets all values from table and stores them as variables
$pictureID = $worked[pictureID];

// Connects to Database for uploading image through FTP
$ftpconn = ftp_connect("******") or die("Could not connect"); 
ftp_login($ftpconn,"******","******");

// The Directory the file will be placed
$target_path = "Images/academicPrograms/";

// I think the problem is here 
if($pictureID = '1'){$uniqueName = "1_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '2'){$uniqueName = "2_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '3'){$uniqueName = "3_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '4'){$uniqueName = "4_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '5'){$uniqueName = "5_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '6'){$uniqueName = "6_img.jpg";}

//Assigns a the path and the name together
$uniqueID= $target_path.$uniqueName;


//Moves to temp file to the targetpath 
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];  

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $uniqueID)) {
	echo "<script>window.location=\"new.php?picID=".$_POST['picID']."\"</script>"; } 
	else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>

Like I said, everything works, it's just the images overwrite the wrong ones.

Thanks for any help

Well after messing around with, I noticed something.

After the form hits submit, it goes to uploader.php, then reverts back to the form page and doesn't refresh.

So if you try to upload something again, it overwrites the old one that you tried to upload.

That's just one problem. Uploads 3,4,5 only work the first time, after that, they don't work anymore. Odd

Ok, just noticed something else

in this code

// I think the problem is here 
if($pictureID = '1'){$uniqueName = "1_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '2'){$uniqueName = "2_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '3'){$uniqueName = "3_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '4'){$uniqueName = "4_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '5'){$uniqueName = "5_img.jpg";}
if($pictureID = '6'){$uniqueName = "6_img.jpg";}

pictureID is the right number before it,

but when i put echos inside the if's they don't equal the pictureID before the If's, they just equal there numbers.

Example: Before If's: pictureID = 3
Inside pictureID = '1' ---> pictureID = 1

and the same for the rest

I'm wondering why pictureID changes. It's quite puzzling. Any ideas?

Ok, I got it working, I used the switch command instead

switch ($pictureID)
{
	case 1:
		$uniqueName = "1_img.jpg";
		break;
    case 2:
		$uniqueName = "2_img.jpg";
		break;
	case 3:
		$uniqueName = "3_img.jpg";
		break;
	case 4:
		$uniqueName = "4_img.jpg";
		break;
	case 5:
		$uniqueName = "5_img.jpg";
		break;
	case 6:
		$uniqueName = "6_img.jpg";
		break;

default:
	echo "No cases matched";

}

Now the problem is, that after you hit submit, and it goes to uploader.php, when it comes back to the form, the form needs to be refreshed or you'll overwrite one you just submitted.

MY final question for this problem: How do you refresh a form page automatically after you come back from the php page?
