believeinsharing Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi want to upload file using form's input type="file" then i want to display it on another page, As i am new to PHP i am doing this step by step so that I can test each step and go ahead. My first step is to upload file and check if its uploading in temp location.. I got same code from net.. I am using notepad++ thats why not sure abt syntax error, What I did is: <html> <body> <form action="index.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Image: <input type="file" name="image"> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> </form> <?php mysql_connection("localhost","root","admin") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("searchdeals") or die(mysql_error()); echo $file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gristoi Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 ok, couple of things, why do you need a database connection for this? and is this posting back to index.php, or is index.php another file?. try this: <html> <body> <form action="index.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Image: <input type="file" name="myImage"> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> </form> <?php if($_FILES){ echo "Name: " . $_FILES["myImage"]["name"] . "<br />"; echo "Size: " . ( $_FILES["myImage"]["size"] /1024) . "Kb<br />"; echo "Type: " . $_FILES["myImage"]["type"] . " <br />"; echo "temp Directory: " . $_FILES["myImage"]["tmp_name"]; } ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gristoi Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 your problem was with: mysql_connection("localhost","root","admin") or die(mysql_error()); should have been mysql_connect("localhost","root","admin") or die(mysql_error()); if you werent getting any warnings or errors showing then you will need to turn on your error checking. to do this you can put this at the very top of your page: <?php ini_set("display_errors","1"); ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL); this will help you a lot, by showing you all of the errors and warnings that your code makes. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
