PHP/MySQL image upload

I am looking for an easy to understand PHP tutorial on
uploading an image to a folder. However I would like to put a
reference/path to the image in a MySQL batabase table.

The PHP online manual is pretty comprehensive on file
uploads.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
You can get the name of the file from
$_FILES['fieldName']['name']
(where 'fieldName' is the name of the form field that uploads
the
image). It's just a question of using that information to
insert into a
database.
I cover image file uploads in considerable detail in "PHP
Solutions" if
you're interested in a more comprehensive approach.

PHP -Mysql image resize and upload

All,
Any good ideas, code out there to help me do a PHP MySQL image resize, uploade and display? Thanks for your help!

For upload image, u may look at the similar thread HERE

Php & mysql images

I have some images in a mysl table(blob field)
does anyone have a sample to show how to display some images
in a movie?
Cheers
Stevew

Gotcha. In that case you can just make a php script to pull
the images and
return them. I just did a little test and it worked fine - I
placed a jpg
into a mediumblob field in MySQL. I then made a little PHP
script, test.php:
<?PHP
include_once("../scripts/db_connect.php");
$sql = "SELECT image FROM test WHERE id=1";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo($row['image']);
?>
Then in Flash, I simply loaded the image from the script into
an empty
movieClip (imClip) using:
var lm = new MovieClipLoader();
lm.loadClip("url/test.php", imClip);

Best way to update images using PHP / MySQL?

HI
I want to update images using PHP/MySQL, so users can update their images and maybe some other files but mainly images.
thanks

How messed up is this code?!
<?php
//connect to database
$con = mysql_connect("testhost","testuser","pass");
// file properies
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
if (!isset($file))
echo "please select an image";
else {
    $id = $_REQUEST['id_display'];
    $image = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? file_get_contents ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) : '';
    $image_name = ($_FILES['image']['name']) ? addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']): '';
    $image_size = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']): '';
    if ($image_size == FALSE)
    echo "You have not selected an image.";
    else {
        mysql_select_db("test_display", $con);
        mysql_query("UPDATE testtable SET image = '$image', imagename = '$image_name' WHERE id_display='$id'");
?>
And the upload page....
/*Update code */ /*End update code */

Multiple Image Uploading Question

Please forgive my ignorance here but I saw the question on multiple image uploading and this is something i have been trying to do for a few days now without any success.
I am using CS3 with ADDT and PHP
I want to allow my users to be able to upload say 5 pictures at a time, each user has multiple photo albums the names of which are stored in mysql table, the image name is stored in a different table with a reference to the album id.
So, I assume that i put an insert record on the page, I followed the usual process used to have a single image upload and thought it would give me or add the extra file field options on the form when telling the multi upload to allow 5 images to be uploaded, not the case. Do i have to create a form on the page first with 5 file fields or am i just missing the plot here.
Sorry if this is just something that seems simple but i just don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. I have no working example to look over and have serach google to see if there are any tutorials for doing this but can't find any at all.
Thank you in advance of any help and guidance given
Regards
Ray

Hi Günter
Thank you for your reply and also for the great tutorial site you run which has helped me quite a lot with several things.
ok, so i am maybe a little confused here, so what is the multiple image uploader for if not for uploading multiple images, and how does it give you the option to select more than one file or is it that you can't use it when inserting the image file into a database?
Please forgive my ignornace again, i can see when i have tried using the multiple image upload thatit puts a text link called upload, what is that for because it doesn't seem to do anything on the page i have tried it on?
Kind Regards
Ray

Image upload bombs

Never mind, I figured it out. The $ImageDir needed so simply
be "images/"

Image upload tools

I was wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction
please, if dreamweaver cs4 can generate the code neccessary to
create image uploads for admin pages.
I have been using the Data Objects - Insert and Update Record
Insertion Form Wizzard with php and mysql and wondered if there was
a way of adding a button to these forms with relivent code to
insert a set of images from my desktop to my rootfolder without
having to hand code it.
Thanks

Hi Henry,
so do you currently have a column named "order" ? If so, you´ll need to rename it to "order_ord" or something.

Image Upload with overwrite renaming

Hi
I wonder whether anyone can help, I have created an image upload page and want to edit the images in the albums I have created. I want to overwrite the image files and not rename them. Is this possible or do I need to create an update page? If so what would be the best way to go about this? I have tried to create an update page but it doesn't seem to work.
Im using PHP/MYSQL
Cheers

Hi Sarah,
ADDT has a "Delete File" behaviour
(under "File Upload") -- as the Image Upload feature doesn´t provide an "overwrite if exists" option, I guess you´ll have to figure out a tailor-made chain of actions first, like...
1. if the "filename" column of your table is not empty
(means, an image has been uploaded)...
2. then apply the "Delete File" behaviour and delete it.
3. afterwards proceed to the "Image Upload" page and upload the image in question once again
Would this approach make any sense ? ;-)

Multiple image upload problem

When trying to use the Multiple Image Upload feature I get this error
A script in this movie is causing Flash Player 9 to run slowly, if it continues your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?
This message pops up after a single file is uploaded, the second bar labeled progress remains at 0%.
I have experimented with this all day with no luck, any help would be great...
Forgot to mention, PHP/MYSQL
Also happens if I try multiple file upload vs. image.
I can't tell if it's ADDT or Flash, hopefully since they are both adobe someone can figure it out.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the reply, in this case it was a server setting that had to be modified. Mod_security would not allow folder creation by Apache. The single up loadd worked fine because it did not have to write a directory.
It did not show up in the server logs for some reason.
Hope this saves someone hours of trouble shooting.

Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button into the 'Update Form'?

I am able to creat and an Update form and an image upload using the "Update Form Wizard" tool and the "Multiple Image Upload" tool succesfully.
<br />
<br />The problem comes when I try to move the "UPLOAD" button inside the Update form. Right now it looks like this:
<br />http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/now.JPG
<br />
<br />This is how I would like it to show:
<br />http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/tryingto.JPG
<br />
<br />I want to "Upload" button to go next to the "Update record" button. When I do this I get a javascript error and the "Update record" button is disabled.
<br />Here is the code of what I tried to do:
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<table>
<tr class="KT_buttons">
<td>
<?php<br /> // Multiple Upload Helper<br /> echo $muploadHelper->Execute();<br /> ?>
</td>
<td colspan="1">
<input type="submit" name="KT_Update1" id="KT_Update1" value="Update record" />
<br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<br />Here is the Javascript error:
<br />http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/error.JPG
<br />
<br />thanks for your help.

A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
contain.Children.Add(border)
End Sub
<StackPanel>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
<TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
</Border>
</Grid>
<DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
<TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
</StackPanel>
You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer.

Multiple image upload CRASH!!! but works with simple image upload

I'm getting MAD.
I'm using php and GD
While the simple image and re size works like a charm, the multiple image upload or the multiple file upload have a strange behavior.
It opens the pop-up with flash, then eventually shows me files or thumbnails but when I try to up load I just wait and get the typical "system becoming unstable" flash error.
As I can see the directory is always generated (I've tried also to put a static directory) but after stargin the upload the flash uploader just crashes and no result.
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi Fonzie,
as the folder is getting created, the issue you´re having is not related to wrong folder permission - it´s something else...
As I wrote before, che common upload and resize function works perfectly
this one works perfectly, because it´s just one file to upload and to process, wheras doing that with multiple files might collide with some settings on your server
So for sure it's not a simple issue as the max filesize
Are you sure ? Did you check the current "max_upload_filesize" setting ? As long you don´t check it, you can´t know :-)
As a general rule of thumb, it´s important to be aware of the fact that uploading & resizing images on the server might collide with several PHP settings -- and the more images you upload and resize in one swoop, the closer you´re getting to these limits respectively might even be exceeding them. The following "directives" are those which have an effect on whether your image/file upload & processing will work or not:
- "max_upload_filesize" :: is sometimes set to just 8 MB on a shared hosting, sometimes 16 MB, sometimes more. This setting will affect the file upload procedure only
- "set_time_limit" (e.g. 30 seconds) :: if the execution time of a script exceeds this limit for whatever reason, the server simply shuts it down without letting you (respectively the flash uploader) know it´s been shut down. This *might* be the reason why ADDT´s flash uploader hangs respectively returns that error message after some time, because it´s waiting for some response from the server which never comes.
- "memory_limit" (e.g. 8 MB) :: this directive is a sort of "allocated server RAM" for your account, and it´s in particular the image resizing process which will grab more or less memory resources -- the higher the the resizing factor is, the more RAM is spent, and the more images are getting resized in one swoop, the worser it gets.
However, all these PHP directives can be changed, and your host might even be so courteous to increase the currently defined values of those abovementioned directives for you -- and that´s what I´m suggesting at this point.
Cheers

PHP/Mysql issue

I use Dreamweaver CS3 to create my sites on a Windows/Apache
Server with PHP5 and Mysql 5. The site works perfectly on my
testing server at home. On the Web server I'm getting the following
error which causes the page to not load:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 63
PHP Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 61
The lines in question are:
Line 61 - mysql_select_db($database_conn_phh, $conn_phh);
$query_getSuccess = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status =
'Success Story' ORDER BY horse_barn ASC";
$getSuccess = mysql_query($query_getSuccess, $conn_phh) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getSuccess = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSuccess);
$totalRows_getSuccess = mysql_num_rows($getSuccess);
All of the code is supplied by Dreamweaver. I did not tweak
the code. I'm not a web developer and what I have found out there
is still reading greek to me. My connection file is working and
connecting the database that I have tested.
Since the above code is throughout the site in one form or
another it's causing me major headaches. Any help would be
appreciated.

This is the first time I've used Adobe products so if the
following is in the wrong forum (It's the closest one I found so
far) or the format is incorrect please forgive me.
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS3 and as I was reading the "first
steps" it mentions to set up a Dreamweaver site right away. I got
as far as completing "Site Definition" page under the basic side of
the setup screen.
The next screen is "Do you want to work with server
Technology?"
There are 2 options - Yes or No. If you select yes a
drop-down menu appears with several options (but you can only
select one)...
Asp Javascript
Asp VbScript
Asp.net#
Asp.net Vb
Cold Fusion
JSP
Php MySql.
I know nothing about these format and brand new to web design
so I thought it best to contact GoDaddy (my hosting account) to
find out what their servers would support. I spoke to a tech rep
but she wasn't sure.
She did mention that I have a windows hosting account and Php
MySql would not work unless I changed to their Linux platform at no
additional charge.
The site I have in mind will design with CSS, Liquid layout,
have some flash, widgets, an inquiry form that clients complete and
results e-mailed to me, auto-responder, Paypal link and whatever
else I can discover from Dreamweaver.
My question being:
I haven't even begun designing my site because I do not know
what weather I should select the Yes option and select one of the
formats mentioned above (if so which one) - or select the No
option. If I do select the No option at the very beginning, will I
have problems with my site uploading and working correctly?
Thank you
Travis

How to use spry in the dreamweaver with the php/mysql

hello,
Iam new to the spry framework
and i want to know can we use the spry in the dreamweaver
along with php / mysql code
if so please tell how to do this
thanks in advance

The reason you get nothing when you save the page with a .php
extension
is because you have display_errors turned off, so you can't
see the
error message telling you there's a syntax error. The
semicolon is
missing at the end of this line:
> echo "<font color='white'>Hello
Swetha</font>"
The reason it doesn't work with an .html extension is
probably because
you haven't uploaded SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js. I have
copied your
page and tested it locally with the correct JavaScript file,
and the
tabbed panels work as expected.
There are lots of other mistakes in your page. You can't use
float and
position:absolute on the same element. In at least one place,
you have
used </br> instead of <br />. You have also got
an closing paragraph tag
after the paragraph that contains abc.jpg.
Getting Spry or any other JavaScript library to work
correctly relies on
good, clean code. Your mixture of inline styles and font tags
is going
to make it difficult to incorporate Spry into your pages. I
suggest you
improve your HTML and CSS before bringing Spry into the mix.
