Insert whether or not a file is uploaded

[megs1328]

You guys are a great help to all of us newbies here!

I have a code that I want to, if a picture is set, to upload it and insert the comment and pic name into a table. If there is no picture set, to just insert the comment.

I can't get it to do both. I've either written it so it will only insert the comment whether or not a picture was selected (as shown below) or it will say that the picture is an invalid file type, even if there was no picture selected and won't insert the comment.

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and have used their scripts and added others I have found. It's getting a bit to complicated for me to diagnose at this point. If you can decipher it, it would be a great help:

<?php
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "comment")) {
if ($_POST['eventcompic']){
$fileName = $_FILES['eventcompic']['name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['eventcompic']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['eventcompic']['type'];
$target = "includes/eventcompic/";

//This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it
function findexts($fileName)
{
$filename = strtolower($fileName) ;
$exts = split("[/\\.]", $fileName) ;
$n = count($exts)-1;
$exts = $exts[$n];
return $exts;
}

//This applies the function to our file
$ext = findexts ($_FILES['eventcompic']['name']) ;

//This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer.
$ran = date("-m-d-y-H-i-s", time()) ;

//This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.
$ran2 = $row_DetailRS1['eventID'] . $ran . ".";
$newName = $ran2 . $ext;

//This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension
$target = $target . $newName;
$ok=1;

//This is our size condition in bytes
if ($fileSize > 1073741824) {
echo "Your file is too large,&nbsp;";
$ok=0; }

//This is our limit file type condition
if(!(
$fileType=='image/jpeg' ||
$fileType=='image/jpg' ||
$fileType=='image/png' ||
$fileType=='image/gif' ||
$fileType=='image/bmp'
)) {
echo "You have uploaded an invalid file type,&nbsp;";
$ok=0; }

//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0) {
echo "your picture was not uploaded.<br class=\"clear\"/>"; }

//If everything is ok we try to upload it
else {
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['eventcompic']['tmp_name'], $target)) {

$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO eventcmts (eventID, eventcoms, eventcomer, eventcompic) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventID'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventcoms'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventcomer'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($newName, "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_everyscene, $everyscene);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $everyscene) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Your picture was uploaded successfully, your comment will be posted shortly.<br class=\"clear\"/>"; }
}}
else {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO eventcmts (eventID, eventcoms, eventcomer) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventID'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventcoms'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['eventcomer'], "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_everyscene, $everyscene);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $everyscene) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Thank you, your review will be posted shortly.<br class=\"clear\"/>"; }

}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="comment">

Any ideas? This is killing me...

I can suggest easier way.
Create 1st file called like add_image.php

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_image.php" method="POST">
    <table width="568" border="0" align="center" bordercolor="#0066FF">
      <tr>
        <td width="133"><div align="right">*Name:</div></td>
        <td width="425"><input name="name" type="text" class="txt_zone" value="Name" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><div align="right">Photo</div></td>
        <td><input type="file" name="photo" class="txt_zone2" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="2"><div align="center">
          <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Upload" />
        </div></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
  </form>

Then create another file upload_image.php

<?php

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "images/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

//This gets all the other information from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$pic=($_FILES['photo']['name']);

// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "pass") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("you_name_db_table") or die(mysql_error()) ;

//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `images` VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$pic')") ;

//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target))
{

//Tells you if its all ok
echo "File". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " have been uploaded..";
}
else {

//Gives and error if its not
echo "Error uploading your file.";
}
?>
  <p align="center" class="style7">
    <?php
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "pass") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("you_name_db_table") or die(mysql_error()) ;

//Retrieves data from MySQL
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images") or die(mysql_error());

//Puts it into an array
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{

//Outputs the image and other data
Echo "<img src=images/".$info['photo'] ."<br>";
Echo "<b>Name:</b> ".$info['name'] . "<br> ";
}
?>

Here just no files formats ant upload limits I hope I helpde you And if you use that script you need dbase Table Images

CREATE TABLE `images` (
  `name` varchar(30) default NULL,
  `email` varchar(30) default NULL,
  `phone` varchar(30) default NULL,
  `photo` varchar(30) default NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
