I have an image upload script that upload the image, but does not allow the name of the image to be inserted into the database.


if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "signup3")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE player SET photo=%s WHERE player_id=%s",
GetSQLValueString($_FILES['ufile']['name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['user'], "int"));

mysql_select_db($database_db, $db);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $db) or die(mysql_error());

$updateGoTo = "team-control.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
}

//define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MAX_SIZE","50000");

//This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file is an image by checking the extension.
function getExtension($str) {
$i = strrpos($str,".");
if (!$i) { return ""; }
$l = strlen($str) - $i;
$ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
return $ext;
}

//This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no error found)
//and it will be changed to 1 if an errro occures.
//If the error occures the file will not be uploaded.
$errors=0;
//checks if the form has been submitted
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
$image=$_FILES['ufile']['name'];
//if it is not empty
if ($image)
{
//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['ufile']['name']);
//get the extension of the file in a lower case format
$extension = getExtension($filename);
$extension = strtolower($extension);
//if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not upload the file,
//otherwise we will do more tests
if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif"))
{
//print error message
echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}
else
{
//get the size of the image in bytes
//$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file
//in which the uploaded file was stored on the server
$size=filesize($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name']);

//compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger
if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}

//we will give an unique name, for example the time in unix time format
//$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
//the new name will be containing the full path where will be stored (images folder)
$newname="teams/players/".$image;
//we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead
$copied = copy($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'], $newname);
if (!$copied)
{
echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}}}}

//If no errors registred, print the success message
if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors)
{
echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully!</h1>";
}

Welcome aboard catalepticstate, You're getting the file name here

$image=$_FILES['ufile']['name'];

but doing your update first, before you've gotten the name? Not familar with GetSQLValueString or what it does. You can echo the select statement and exit to see what's up.

Additionally if anything goes wrong, you now have an errant database record. I suggest you rearrange a bit . . .

- upload the image
- resize the image (if required)
-- if any errors, delete anything uploaded and return to form, making it self-maintaining
- if no errors, THEN insert into DB

//This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file is an image by checking the extension.


Don't read the extension, I can name nasty_virus.exe as innocent_image.jpg. Use the PHP image types. Additionally, Mac users may not even have an extension.

$type = $_FILES['ufile']['type'];
