I can't get this script to work.
Everytime I try to upload an image, I get the following error: No image selected/uploaded.

Is there a problem with the script?

Edit: Stupid me. I had set the maximum filesize way too low!
So now it's working!

Thanks for the tutorial!

hi

retrieve the contents from database, and save it in a image formated file, call it from html

Hi I have followed all the steps and I understand the concept behind uploading and displaying an image(according to Jaan), however the image still does not display for me.

I believe the problem is with the rights of the file or something. The reason why I think so is because i have tried uploading an image to the "uploads" folder with ftp and i can easily display it however if i upload the same exact image with the upload form and then i try to view it I get the following message "403 Forbidden".

If it makes any difference I am using a hosted site.

Any idea why when i upload an image with the upload form it becomes forbidden in the folder?

Thank you Very much in advance

So what permission rights must a folder technically have?

Initially i had the following permissions:

(and if you chmod 755 it this is how permissions will end up)

Me: Read and Write
Staff: Read only
Everyone: Read only

then I changed them to
Me: Read and Write
Staff: Read and Write
Everyone: Read and Write

and still get the forbidden message.

Btw I have the following setup:

mywebsite.com contains a folder "uploads"
mywebsite.com contains all of my php pages

I am trying to store just the path in the database and the actual image files
in the upload folder.

I host my website, so in order to make sure that my folder(uploads) had read and write access rights(which i assume are correct) i have created it on my computer and then sent it with ftp to my host. So I assume the folder still has the correct permission rights set up.


It is weird that it works fine if i ftp and image (i am then able to view it). But if i use the uploads form it does get uploaded but i cant view it and get that "forbidden" message.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Jordan! thanks for help.

So I discovered that after I upload my image with the file upload form, the actual image's permission settings change. They change to no read rights. Therefore somewhere in my upload form i have to chmod 755 the actual file but I am not sure how to do so.

Could you please help me out? and here is the code I have to actually upload the image:

if(isset($_POST['submitted']))

{

	

	$uploadDir = 'uploads/';

	

	$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

	$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];

	$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];

	$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];

	

	$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;

	

	$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);

	if (!$result)

	{

	   echo "Error uploading file";

	}

		

	if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())

	{

	   $fileName = addslashes($fileName);

	   $filePath = addslashes($filePath);

	} 

}

A question about uploading an image to my database.
(same question as in other topic, but I need to finish it within 12 hours..)

I used the tutorial recommended above, but it seems as if I'm to plain dumb to get it to work, I followed the instructions, but it's not working, I get errors about these lines:

      $fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');

      $data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));

      $data = addslashes($data);

      fclose($fp);

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/vhosting/21/sintpietersgent.be/www/leerlingenraad/seminarie/insert.php on line 26

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/vhosting/21/sintpietersgent.be/www/leerlingenraad/seminarie/insert.php on line 28


This is the entire code:

bestellingenCP.php

<table>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="insert.php" method="post" name="changer">

<input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="102400" type="hidden">

<tr><td>Afbeelding:</td><td><input name="image" accept="image/jpeg" type="file"></td></tr>

<tr><td>Naam:</td><td><input name="naam" type="text" /></td></tr>

<tr><td>Prijs:</td><td><input name="prijs" type="text" /></td></tr>

<tr><td>Omschrijving:</td><td><textarea name="omschrijving" ></textarea></td></tr>

<tr><td></td><td><input value="Submit" type="submit"></td></tr>

</form>

</table>

insert.php (the problem..)

<?php

$host="localhost";

$name = "correct";

$pass = "correct";

$dbname = "correct";



$dbi = mysql_connect($host, $name,$pass) or

die("Kan niet verbinden met de database. Error :" . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname,$dbi);



if (isset($_FILES['image'])) { 





      $tmpName  = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];  

       



      $fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');

      $data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));

      $data = addslashes($data);

      fclose($fp);

      $naam = $_POST['naam'];

	  $prijs = $_POST['prijs'];

	  $omschrijving = $_POST['omschrijving'];

	  



		$query = "INSERT INTO bestellingen (naam,prijs,beschrijving,image) VALUES

('$naam','$prijs','$omschrijving','$data')"; 

      $results = mysql_query($query, $dbi);

      

}

else {

   print "No image selected/uploaded";

}

mysql_close($dbi);

?>

A note referring to my previous post:

I learned that an upploaded file ( $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] ) has permission 600 and that I have to use chmod() to change permission.

Do you know where and how i would apply it?


Thank you in advance for your replies! I really appreciate it
