i need to upload files to a different folder dependint on option in form, make thumbnails, and store title and src for image and thumb in database table dependant on category. i think i'm pretty close, but there's still something wrong.

 

Here is my upload form :

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST"> 
Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br>
Category: <select name="cat">
<option value="weddings">Weddings</option>
<option value="music">Music</option>
<option value="portraits">Portraits</option></select>
Title: <input type="text" name="title"><br> 
<input type="submit" value="Upload photo"> 
</form>

 

form processed by upload.php :

<?php 

require "db.php";

//Get form info 
$name=$_POST['name']; 
$title=$_POST['title']; 
$category=$_POST['cat']; 
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']); 
//set target dir source file width height
$target = $cat."/"; 
$src = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 
$destination = $cat."/thumbs";
$thumbsrc = $destination . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 
$width = 200;
$height = 200;
    header("content-type: image/jpeg");
    $src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg("$src");
    $srcsize = getimagesize("$dest");
    $dst_img = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

    imagecopyresampled($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $srcsize[0], $srcsize[1]);
    imagejpeg($dst_img);
    
//Unstert into db
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `$category` VALUES ('$name', 'Stitle', '$src, $thumbsrc')") ; 

//move photo 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $fulltarget)) 
{ 
//Ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
} 
else { 

//not ok 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} 
?>

 

call a script from main page

<div class="gallery">
<?php include "weddings/get.php" ?>
</div>
<div class="gallery">
<?php include "music/get.php" ?>
</div>

 

get.php displays links

 

<?php
include "db.php"; 
$cat = weddings;
$q = "SELECT id, title, src, thumbsrc FROM $cat";

$result = $mysqli->query($q) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

if ($result) {
    
    echo "<ul id='photos'> \n";
    
    while ($row = $result->fetch_object()) {
   
        $title = $row->title;
        $src = $row->src;
        $thsrc = $row->thumbsrc;
        $id = $row->id;
        
        echo "<a href='$src' class="lightbox" rel="$cat" title="$name - $title"><img src='$thsrc' id='$id'      alt='$name' /></a>":
        }    
        
        echo "</ul>";
    

    
}



?>    

 

I think i'm going along the right sort of path, but i'm not sure.

you're grabbing the category with:

$category = $_POST['cat']; 

 

but then you're trying to set the target directory with:

$target = $cat."/"; 

 

it should be

$target = $category."/"; 

(since $cat doesn't even exist.)

 

If you turn on your error reporting, all these things will be obvious and easy to find out.
