[RESOLVED] Uploading image - blank already uploaded?

[turtleton09]

Just as I thought everything was looking just as it should with my add record / upload image page with all it's validation, I've just spotted an odd one - nothing crucial, just a bit odd looking.

I basically have this code to check if a file has already been uploaded :

if (file_exists("Photos/" . $_FILES["uploadFile"]["name"])) 
{ 
  $ValidationFailed = true; 
  $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "This file has already been uploaded. If you are sure it's a new photo please rename it before uploading to the library."; 
  $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
    } 

Which works just as it should if a file already uploaded is selected.

However, if no file is selected, I'm still getting the error message.

This isn't major, as a file does have to be uploaded - indeed there is also a check on file type, which flags any blanks anyway - but it's just a bit odd that the 'File is already uploaded' is coming up when no file is selected?

Can this be tweaked at all? I also tried changing the Null column back in mySQL to see if that was an issue, but it didn't seem to be.

file_exists() checks if it's argument is file or directory. In this case it takes 'Photos/' as argument and returns true. Try

if (!empty($_FILES['uploadFile']['name']) && file_exists("Photos/" . $_FILES["uploadFile"]["name"]) && is_file('Photos/' . $_FILES['uploadFile'['name']) )

Works a treat. Thank you!
