Upload & Update!!!

[rawky1976]

Hi all, I have a little problem when creating a doc management site. I was using a script off the web to upload a file using a web form. The action of the form was the new page which did the uploading say "upload.php". This file contained the following: -

<?php

// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";

/ Add the original filename to the target path.

Result is "uploads/filename.extension" /
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>

It was working great (using IIS) the file appeared in the upload folder. But then I thought about adding a search facility. When I changed the original page to update a MySQL database (using Dreamweaver) the forms action changed to <?php echo $editFormAction; ?>

I pointed the insert record dialogue at upoad.php so that still loads but it throws the default error. It doesn't upload the file but it does update the database.

How can I get it to do both?

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

in principle this should be no problem whatsoever. I suspect you have a logical error in your script (The insert before the upload, or vise-versa), which excludes one from from happening. Could you please post the relevant section of the new code? (So the upload & insert code).

=> Please place [php ] [/php ] -without spaces- tags around the code, as it will tell the forum to highlight the code, and keep formatiing, which makes reading much easier.
Think it should be a straight forwards thing to fix.
