Display an Image on web page 1

[nat1967]

Hi group,

on my web site, a customer can upload a picture to my host server. i would like to display that picture to the customer so they can verify they uploaded the correct one.

currently, my code allows them to choose the picture using a form, then i upload it with PHP. all this works fine but i just cant seem to figure out how to display the image. i have searched php.net and the faq section here but cant seem to quite find what i need. any and all help greatly appreciated.

Once you moved the uploaded file into its final location just output an HTML <img> tag with the correct parameters.

<?
# file moved to img2004.jpg
echo '<img src="'.$filename.'" >';

This seems like an answer that's too easy. What am I missing?

hi drj478,

i am fairly new to PHP so i am having a little trouble piecing it together. here is what i have:

foreach($_FILES as $file_name => $file_array) {
$rnd = sprintf("%08d", floor(rand(0,100000000)));

if (is_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'])) {
move_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'],
"$file_dir/$rnd-$file_array[name]&quot or die ("Couldnt copy"
chmod("$file_dir/$rnd-$file_array[name]",0644);
//print "<br><br><h2><center><b> File type is valid, and was successfully uploaded.</b></h2><br>\n ";
//print "<h1><b>Congratulations!!!</b></h1><br><br>\n ";
$image = "$rnd-$file_array[name]";

print "Your file has been uploaded to SkyLinePrints.com for processing. Please ";
print "write down your confirmation number listed below and refer to it with ";
print "any questions about your order. <br><br>\n ";

//print "To <strong>complete</strong> your order for a <strong><font color=#FF0000> $msg </font></strong>, choose the <strong>"ADD To Cart" </strong><br>\n ";
//print "button and <strong>complete the checkout process.</strong> <br><br>\n ";
//print "Once payment is confirmed, your order will be processed and shipped immediately. ";
//print "Upon completion, we will send you an email confirming your order is ";
//print "finished and has been shipped. <br><br>\n ";
//print "Thanks for the opportunity to serve you. </center><br><br>\n ";

still very new to php but general observation is that <img src etc. etc. seems to be outside the foreach loop or am I reading it wrong?

1. add an echo $image after $image = "$rnd-$file_array[name]"; in order to know wheter the name is correct or not...

2. you have the path "$file_dir/$rnd-$file_array[name]" but "$image" is not using the variable "$file_dir/"... are you getting the correct path?

Cheers.
