I can't figure out what the problem is with my code. What I want it to do is add a new sandwich to the database when all fields are filed out and an image is uploaded. If product name field is not entered, the sandwich selected in the dropdown box should be updated to a new (from whatever the user entered) description, image, origin, etc.

1. When I try to add a new sandwich, it always echoes "All fields not filled out" but the sandwich is added to the DB with all fields except the image name.

2. When I try to use the dropdown box and not enter a product name, it goes through the same thing above and never updates the DB. It's like it never goes to the else statement.

On line 87 of the first php file you use if (isset($_POST)). But this won't work. If you want the name of the uploaded file use $_FILES.
To check if any file is selected before the submit button is pressed use is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$filename]);
So in your code you could change this part: (between lines 32 and 33)

$upload_success = FALSE; 
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
    if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) {
        echo 'Problem: Could not move file to destination directory';
        exit;
    }
    else {
        $upload_success = TRUE; // added this
    }
}
else {
    echo 'Problem: Possible file upload attack. Filename: ';

and this part: (lines 87 and up)

if ($upload_success) {
    $imagename = $_FILES['filename']['name'];

Ok I got the image name to display with the code below. But, I cannot figure out why even when the product name box is blank, it adds a new sandwich instead of updating the dropdown selected one.

I'm a bit confused about the definition of $productid on line 73 and then its use in a query on line 83.

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017

When you select the dropdown list the product name get filled or you have a default name to be stored when you not typed anything? or the product name field showing blank after submit?

I'm a bit confused about the definition of $productid on line 73 and then its use in a query on line 83.

Product ID is an auto incremented field. I use line 73 to get the product id. i need to add a product id with the other fields because it is a primary key.

When you select the dropdown list the product name get filled or you have a default name to be stored when you not typed anything? or the product name field showing blank after submit?

If a user selects from the drop down box, a (hidden) product id is actually selected. I use that product id to determine which records to update (this is the part not working, the code never reaches the else statement). If the product name box is not blank, I add a new sandwich to the DB.

Please see i have made changes in one or two lines, it should work fine.
