save image in folder and path in mysql database - php

Question

I have a form like this:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" id="title" placeholder="Project Title"/><br />
<input type="text" id="vurl" placeholder="If You have any video about project write your video url path here" style="width:435px;"/><br />
<textarea id="prjdesc" name="prjdesc" rows="20" cols="80" style="border-style:groove;box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px 10px #888888;"placeholder="Please describe Your Project"></textarea>
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /><br>
<input type="button" name="submit" value="Submit" id="update"/>
</form>
On click submit the data is storing in database and displaying using Ajax call
this is my js code:
$("#update").click(function(e) {
alert("update");
e.preventDefault();
var ttle = $("#title").val();
alert(ttle);
var text = $("#prjdesc").val();
var vurl = $("#vurl").val();
var img = $("#file").val();
alert(vurl);
var dataString = 'param='+text+'&param1='+vurl+'&param2='+ttle+'&param3='+img;
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:dataString,
url:'insert.php',
success:function(id) {
alert(id);
window.location ="another.php?id="+id;;
}
});
});
here i am storing data using insert.php and displaying using another.php
but when coming to the image part i dont understand how to store image in folder and path in db, i mean i am bit confused to integrate code in insert.php
insert.php
$host="localhost";
$username="root";
$password="";
$db_name="geny";
$tbl_name="project_details";
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$name = $_POST['param'];
$video = $_POST['param1'];
$title = $_POST['param2'];
$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (title, content, video_url) VALUES ('$title','$name','$video')";
if(mysql_query($sql)) {
echo mysql_insert_id();
} else {
echo "Cannot Insert";
}
if i do separate then the image is storing in folder..
if i do separate then the form code is:
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
upload_file.php:
<?php
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 50000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
if (file_exists("C:/wamp/www/WebsiteTemplate4/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"C:/wamp/www/WebsiteTemplate4/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
// echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$tmp = "C:/wamp/www/WebsiteTemplate4/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
echo $tmp;
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
this is working perfectly...
my question is how to integrate this code in insert.php...
please help me...

Answer 1

This code would work fine without the use of javascript. But make sure to change the directory and the table name and fields on line "2" and "66" resp.
We will create a hidden textarea which will create the datastring and we will get all the params using $_GET
<script>
$("#update").click(function(e) {
alert("update");
e.preventDefault();
var ttle = $("#title").val();
alert(ttle);
var text = $("#prjdesc").val();
var vurl = $("#vurl").val();
var img = $("#file").val();
alert(vurl);
var textareastring = $('#string').val();
var dataString = 'textareastring' = textareastring;
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:dataString,
url:'insert.php?param='+text+'&param1='+vurl+'&param2='+ttle+'&param3='+img',
success:function(id) {
alert(id);
window.location ="another.php?id="+id;;
}
});
});
</script>
<textarea id="string" style="display:none;">aa</textarea>
<?php
$name = $_GET['param3'];
// The name.n ow replacing all the $file_name with $name
$url = $_GET['param1'];
$text = $_GET['param'];
$title = $_GET['param2'];
$upload_dir = $url;
$num_files = 1;
//the file size in bytes.
$size_bytes =104857600; //51200 bytes = 50KB.
//Extensions you want files uploaded limited to.
$limitedext = array(".tif",".gif",".png",".jpeg",".jpg");
//check if the directory exists or not.
if (!is_dir("$upload_dir")) {
die ("Error: The directory <b>($upload_dir)</b> doesn't exist. ");
}
//check if the directory is writable.
if (!is_writeable("$upload_dir")){
die ("Error: The directory <b>($upload_dir)</b> . ");
}
if (isset($_POST['upload_form'])){
echo "<h3>Upload results:</h3><br>";
//do a loop for uploading files based on ($num_files) number of files.
for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_files; $i++) {
//define variables to hold the values.
$new_file = $_FILES['file'.$i];
$name = $new_file['name'];
//to remove spaces from file name we have to replace it with "_".
$name = str_replace(' ', '_', $name);
$file_tmp = $new_file['tmp_name'];
$file_size = $new_file['size'];
#-----------------------------------------------------------#

if ($file_size > $size_bytes){

if(file_exists($upload_dir.$name)){
echo "File: ($name) already exists. <br><br>";

if (move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,$upload_dir.$name)) {

Answer 2

If you mean how to call insert.php after submit button was clicked, in this line
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
you have to add this
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="insert.php">

<?php
/*dont use path like this C:/wamp/www/WebsiteTemplate4/upload/ becuase you are working at localhost server*/
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])){
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}else{
$file = $_FILES["file"]["name"]
$filePath = "upload/" . $file;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $filePath)){
/*prepare sql query here and insert*/
$sql = "INSERT INTO table_name(field1, field2) VALUES('$field1', '$field2');";
if(mysql_query($sql)){
echo "File saved in database successfully <strong>{$filePath}</strong>";
}else{
echo "File not uploaded there are an error <strong>{$filePath}</strong>";
}
}else{
echo "File not uploaded there are an error <strong>{$file}</strong>";
}
} ?>
try this code if you have any doubt or code not working fine then ask me again.
Thanks
