Upload/Select Menu Form

Question

I'm a rookie with a complex issue:
I'm having trouble working through an upload/select option
within my form. I have successfully created a form for a
client to select from a variety of photos to create a new
record in the database. Problem is, they want me to combine
the menu selection with an option to upload a file to the
server and record the filename within the database. I'm
familiar with creating upload forms, but not in combination
with a menu selection as an option and processing it. I told
you I was a rookie.
My db table 'staff' has several fields with one being
'staff_photo' for the filename. I'm not sure how to combine
the processing script with the current one I have. I've been
piecing together bits to try to make this work, but I'm
coming across some snags:
#1 The record is not recording in the database, nor is the
filename copying to the server.
#2 None of my error messages are coming up if something is
working incorrectly
#3 After the script is successful, it should load up the
page 'staff_list.php'.
I was hoping to have had this figured out by now,
considering I've been on this for over a week and still
haven't found the solution. I hope someone can help me out
with this.
My form is as follows:
[HTML]<form method="post" name="form1"
enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo
$editFormAction; ?>">
<table width="80%" align="center" cellspacing="0"
border="0">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right">Select Photo:</td>
<td><select name="staff_photo">
<option value="">No photo</option>
<?php buildImageList('../../photos/staff/'); ?>
</select>
<span class="small">   (If
there is no photo
available, please choose 'No-Phot-Available.jpg' or 'No
photo')</span></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right">Upload Photo: </td>
<td><input name="staff_photo" type="file" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right">Name:</td>
<td><input name="staff_name" type="text"
class="widebox"
value="" size="32" maxlength="150"></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap align="right"> </td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Insert
record"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">
<input name="staff_photo" type="hidden" id="staff_photo"
/>
</form>[/HTML]
And here's the process:
[PHP]$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" .
htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) &&
($_POST["MM_insert"] ==
"form1")) {
define('UPLOAD_DIR', '../../photos/staff/');
$file = str_replace(' ', '_',
$_FILES['staff_photo']['name']);
$permitted = array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg',
'image/pjpeg', 'image/png');
$typeOK = false;
foreach ($permitted as $type) {
if ($type == $_FILES['staff_photo']['type']) {
$typeOK = true;
break;
if ($typeOK) {
switch($_FILES['staff_photo']['error']) {
case 0:
if (!file_exists(UPLOAD_DIR.$file)) {
$success =
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['staff_photo']['name'],
UPLOAD_DIR.$file);
if ($success) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO staff (staff_name,
staff_position, staff_subposition, staff_desc, staff_photo,
staff_spec_1, staff_spec_2, staff_spec_3, staff_spec_4,
staff_spec_5) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_position'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_subposition'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_desc'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_photo'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_spec_1'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_spec_2'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_spec_3'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_spec_4'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['staff_spec_5'], "text"));
mysql_select_db($database_wvgsadmin, $wvgsadmin);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $wvgsadmin) or
die(mysql_error());
if ($Result1) {
$insertGoTo = "staff_list.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
} else {
$result = "Error uploading $file. Please try again.";
break;
case 3:
$result = "Error uploading $file. Please try again.";
default:
$result = "System error uploading $file. Contact
webmaster.";
} else {
$result = "$file cannot be uploaded. Acceptable file
type: .gif, .jpf, .png";
?>[/PHP]
Thank you for your time!
