Unable to upload data with image

[peakymatt]

Hi all

First time poster here.

I am very new to PHP, and I have a client who I am building a website for using Dreamweaver PHP and MySQL.

Have created a page where I need to upload an image and include the data associated with it as well. So it will have things like the product name, size colour, description etc.

Now I was able to get it to the point where it would upload the image, but as soon as I started trying to get all the other details in I got lost. Please help...

I have attached the file I am working on in hope that somebody can help.

Regards

Matt

Hi,

We can read file data from $_FILES array i.e.,name,type,size,etc but to read the other data

you should use $_POST array b'coz u r submitting form using POST method.

Ur code contains the following lines

$ProductName = $FILES['userfile']['ProductName'];
$Description = $FILES['userfile']['Description'];
$Colour = $FILES['userfile']['Colour'];
$Dimensions = $FILES['userfile']['Dimensions'];
$Price = $FILES['userfile']['Price'];
$Caption = $FILES['userfile']['Caption'];

so, replace them with this

$ProductName = $POST['ProductName'];
$Description = $POST['Description'];
$Colour = $POST['Colour'];
$Dimensions =$POST['Dimensions'];
$Price = $POST['Price'];
$Caption = $POST['Caption'];

and check... 🙂
