is this code can upload images??

[hisham]

Am trying to upload images using the following code:

myfotos.php:

<?php

//connection and header go here

$split = explode(&quot;.&quot;, $photo_name);
$ext = strtolower($split[1]);

if ($ext == &quot;jpg&quot; || $ext == &quot;gif&quot; || $ext == &quot;jpeg&quot {
$time = time();
$file = &quot;images/$time-$photo_name&quot;;
move_uploaded_file($photo, &quot;$file&quot;
}

if($submit){
mysql_query(&quot;INSERT INTO fototbl (name,foto) VALUES ('$name','$file')&quotor die (&quot;Error in query: $query. &quot; . mysql_error()) ;
}

?>

<form action=&quot;myfotos.php&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>

<td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot;></td>

<td><input type=&quot;file&quot; class=&quot;input&quot; name=&quot;file&quot;>

<td><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Send&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot;></td>

</form>

When I checked the table fototbl, I found the data in the name field is perfect, but in the foto field I found: /tmp/phpSTFJV9
and the image was not uploaded to images directory.

Any help please?
Thanks in advance

PHP does not store the file in the upload temp directory using the name of the file you uploaded nor the name of the form field. It hashes the filename to prevent collisions. So you need to make use of the $_FILES superglobal in your code.

Read the manual section on handling file uploads (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php)

also, instead of using explode, use getimagesize (see PHP docs for more about it)
cause right now if you try to upload a file name photo.old.jpg, it will take .old as the extension ...
