I am trying to make a page of my site where others can use it to upload and host images, just images for right now. I used a tutorial from another site to type it up and Im not too familiar with php. I have it uploaded to my site and the browse files and all work but when I click submit, the page will act as it is loading the upload and at the end it wont upload the image or anything nor give the [img] tags to use. Anyone help me on how to do this?

Here is my coding so far.

PHP Code:

<?php
//define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MAX_SIZE","200"); 
//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['image']['name'];
//if it is not empty
if ($image) 
{
//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['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['image']['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)
$newname="images/".$image_name;
//we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead
$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['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! Try again!</h1>";
}
?>
<!--next comes the form, you must set the enctype to "multipart/frm-data" and use an input type "file" -->
<form name="newad" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="file" name="image"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Upload image"></td></tr>
</table> 
</form>

Ok..a simple "I dont know" would help rather than not answering!

I hope the day never comes when all of the hundreds of active members here feel obligated to post "I don't know" rather than nothing at all.

Ok, I am able to pick a file, click upload and then it will seem to upload and this is what I get.

Upload: GetAttachment.jpg
Type: image/pjpeg
Size: 48.8486328125 Kb
Stored in: /tmp/phpynZdSh

I cant find the image on the FTP anywhere, where did it upload too?

Also, I want to make it upload to a certain directory inside the ftp, how do i do this?

This is what I have:

PHP Code:

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "File is either too large or invalid type.";
  }
?>

Always use absolute paths to avoid stupid errors. I am 99% sure that your "upload/" leads to wrong place.

I have it fixed, and like I said in the other topic that you so rudely replied, I ask that you do not contact me in any way.

Thanks

Seriously have I missed something? Your asking for help to a problem (Which you were given), and you have not even searched for the solution.
