How to Upload an Image Through A Form

[naitsirhc26]

I have a question related to form submissions and including a file/photo to send to myself. With this, my users will be able to send a form to my inbox, but I would like to ability to process and send an image along with the form. How is this possible?

Here is my following PHP code:

<?php
$emails = array("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]");
if(in_array($_POST['recipient'], $emails)){ //in_array() is case sensitive
//mail function goes here

if ($_POST["image"] == "26mush3") {
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
// In testing, if you get an Bad referer error
// comment out or remove the next three lines
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])>7 ¦¦
!strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
die("Bad referer");
$msg="Values submitted by the user:\n";
foreach($_POST as $key => $val){
if (is_array($val)){
$msg.="Item: $key\n";
foreach($val as $v){
$v = stripslashes($v);
$msg.=" $v\n";
}
} else {
$val = stripslashes($val);
$msg.="$key: $val\n";
}
}
$recipient=($_POST["recipient"]);
$subject="example.com Contact Form";
error_reporting(0);
if (mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, "", "-f [e-mail]")){
echo "<h1 style=text-align:center>Thank You ".$_POST["full_name"]."</h1>";
echo "<p style=text-align:center>Message successfully sent! <a href=http://www.example.com>Click here</a> to return to the example.com home page.</p><br>\n";
echo nl2br($input);
} else
echo "An error occurred and the message could not be sent.";
} else
echo "Bad request method";
} else {
echo "<center>You did not enter the proper image verification code. Please hit your back button and try again.</center>";
}

} else {
echo "<center>Bad request method.</center>";
}

?>

Thanks!

You might want to take a look at the documentation for handling file uploads [us3.php.net] to get you started.

Just make sure that you check for an image file before you allow the upload to take place. You wouldn't want any malicious code to be uploaded to your server.
