Hi,

I try to make a simple page to upload an image in Database. This is a test page in my website at this moment.

The name of the table to store the images is image and the columns are: id, userid, name, image

My problem is when I click the submit button, the page show me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /home/rwxypejp/public_html/diary/imgupload/addimage.php on line 53

Can anyone help me to solve this error please?

This is the code I use for this page:

<?php 
    require("../headerloggedin.php"); 
?>
        <div id="content">
            <h3>Please Choose a File and click Submit</h3>

            <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
                <input type="hidden" name="idofuser" value="<?php echo $userid; ?>" />
                <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000000" />
                <input name="userfile" type="file" />
                <br />
                <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
            </form>

            <?php
                // check if a file was submitted
                if(!isset($_FILES['userfile']))
                {
                    echo '<p>Please select a file</p>';
                }
                else
                {
                    try

                        echo $msg;  //Message showing success or failure.
                    }

Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /home/rwxypejp/public_html/diary/imgupload/addimage.php on line 53

finfo_open() was introduced in PHP 5.3.0, do you have the right version?

Hi pritaeas,

From the server side, the php version is 5.3.21

I try to find php.ini but I didn't find it? Where can I find this file?

Just use another functions in uploading images.

Just use this.

<input type="file" name="file"/>

if($_FILES['file']['error']!=UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
{

}
else
{
    $uploaddir = "your_directory";  // this is your directory
    $file = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]); 
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $file))
    {
        $location = $_FILES["file"]["name"]; //this file will be saved into your database.
    }
}

It's very simple and easy to use.

hi ruin3936,

regard to your code for file upload, the word file and name used in line 10, 11 and 13, I change it to directory name or leave it same?

Apart from this regarding to line 9, I need to set a permission for this file?

Thanks.
