temp pictures

Dec 29th, 2008

Hello all, I asked this question before but it's been awhile ago and I can't find where I asked it. But anywho, it's never been solved.

On one page I want a person to upload a picture and my php code checks it and puts it in a directory on my server. Then on the next page they can view the picture. If they accept it, the whereabouts of the picture is saved in the database. If not, it is erased from the directory.

I've tried writing this code, but nothing seems to work. I am able to put it into this folder, but when I go to the next page, there is a Red X. It seems I can't pull it out correctly. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!
~Amy

Okay...here's the html form part:

<html>
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face=Arial>
Upload Picture:
</FONT>
<TABLE>
<TBODY>
<FORM onreset="return confirm('Do you really want to reset the form?')" action=previewpic.php method=post encType=multipart/form-data>

</html>

</TABLE>
<INPUT tabIndex=7 type=reset value=reset name=reset>
<TD>
<INPUT tabIndex=8 type=submit value=Submit>
</TD>
</FORM>
</html>

Then previewpic.php looks like this:

<?php
session_start();
 
include ("databaseinfo.inc");
 
mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password, $database) or die

'image/png', 'image/gif');
 
if ((in_array($_FILES['pic1']['type'], $allowed)) && 
($_FILES['pic1']['size']<25600))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pic1"]["tmp_name"], "../uploads/" . $_FILES["pic1"]["name"]);
$_SESSION['name']=$_FILES['pic1']['name'];
$_SESSION['tmp_name']="../uploads/" .$_FILES["pic1"]["name"];
}
else
{
$errors[]='The first file you submitted is not working.  The file must be under 25 kb and have a .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .png extension only!';
}
 
if (empty($errors))
{
header 
("Location:http://www.previewpage.com");
exit();
}
 
if (!empty($errors) && is_array($errors))
{
echo '<h1>Error!</h1>
The following error(s) occured:<br>';
foreach ($errors as $msg)
{
echo " - $msg<br />\n";
}
}
?>
<?php
session_start();

include ("databaseinfo.inc");

mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password, $database) or die 
("No Connection");

$allowed=array('image/pjpeg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 
'image/png', 'image/gif');

if ((in_array($_FILES['pic1']['type'], $allowed)) && 
($_FILES['pic1']['size']<25600))
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pic1"]["tmp_name"], "../uploads/" . $_FILES["pic1"]["name"]);
$_SESSION['name']=$_FILES['pic1']['name'];
$_SESSION['tmp_name']="../uploads/" .$_FILES["pic1"]["name"];
}
else
{
$errors[]='The first file you submitted is not working.  The file must be under 25 kb and have a .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .png extension only!';
}

if (empty($errors))
{
header 
("Location:http://www.previewpage.com");
exit();
}

if (!empty($errors) && is_array($errors))
{
echo '<h1>Error!</h1>
The following error(s) occured:<br>';
foreach ($errors as $msg)
{
echo " - $msg<br />\n";
}
}
?>

Then on the next page the following code is there to pull the pic out of that directory:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
session_start();
 
include ("databaseinfo.inc");
 
mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password, $database)
or die ("No Connection");
 
$tempFile=$_SESSION['name'];
echo "<img src='../uploads/$tempFile' alt='Oops, not showing'>";
 
?>
<?php
session_start();

include ("databaseinfo.inc");

mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password, $database)
or die ("No Connection");

$tempFile=$_SESSION['name'];
echo "<img src='../uploads/$tempFile' alt='Oops, not showing'>";

?>

But when I go to that page, there is a Red X with "Oops, not showing".

Any ideas?

Well, I did. I made sure the image goes in...but it never comes out. That's why I was wondering if something is wrong about my code. Now everytime I get to that page, something from my server pops up asking for username and password. Is that a permissions problem?

hi there,
i think you need to make sure image is properly uploaded in to the folder. For this you can use

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$result = move_uploaded_file($TempFileName, $FilePath);
 
					if (!$result) 
					{
						echo "Error in uploading file"; 
						exit;
					}
					chmod($FilePath,0777);
$result = move_uploaded_file($TempFileName, $FilePath);

					if (!$result) 
					{
						echo "Error in uploading file"; 
						exit;
					}
					chmod($FilePath,0777);

chmod change permission to that folder. Also you need to manually change permission using your FTP. Simply right click on that folder in FTP and choose CHMOD option change it to WRITE ALL.
If problem persist please reply.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks & Regards

Thank you for you answer. I went to that exact directory I save the files to and it shows it in there, so that's how I knew the picture saved.

I don't have CHMOD option but I went into my server and where it has permissions, read, write, and execute is all checked for owner, group, and others, which seems a little insecure to me. It also has a category for Ownership-User and Group. Are you saying I should try to change it FTP and not manually?

Thank you,
~Amy

Okay, I tried it through FTP, same ordeal. I don't know why I thought it would be different. The problem isn't the picture going in, it's getting it out
