Modal Pop Up To Hover Over Parent Page [closed] - php

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.
Closed 11 years ago.
I wonder whether someone could help me please.
I've really got myself in a bit of a pickle with this and I just seem to be going round in circles to find a solution.
I have created this modal dialog page to allow users to upload images. I would like to access this through the click of the 'Upload Images' button on this page.
The problem I have is two fold, but are linked.
I can't seem to get the modal dialog page to act as a pop dialog hovering over the parent page, instead it opens as another web browser page, and because I'm using two submit buttons, I can't get the 'submit' functionality to work independently i.e. one that submits the form, whilst the other opens up the modal dialog.
I've been working on this for quite some time now, changing the button types, giving specific name to each button and calling that in a Javascript function, but I just can't seem to find the solution.
I just wondered whether someone could perhaps have a look at this please and help me with this problem.
For ease, I've added the code below:

Sincere thanks and regards

Try this:
HTML
Use a <button> element isntead of a submit button. Forms should never have more than one 'submit' button.
<button name="uploadimages" type="button" id="uploadimages">Upload Image(s)</button>
JS
$(function() { // Is the same as $(document).ready(function() {
$('#uploadimages').on('click', function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
modal: true
});
});
});

Javascript has three modal dialogs - alert(), confirm() and prompt(). What you need is a psuedo-dialog box, that essentially disables the page below and shows some custom HTML.
The jQuery UI plug in has some nice features that will let you do this with a minimum of code (see http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ for an example of jQuery dialogs).
Once the HTML for your dialog is on the same page as your app, you should be all set for getting your submits and such working, since they'll all be in the same window.

How to debug errors in saving images in database from different inputs

I want to save images in mysql using PHP
but I keep getting an error saying Fatal error: Call to undefined function saveimage() in D:\xampp\htdocs\PHPv2.0\Clients\subreqv2.php on line 100

Can anyone point out to me where did I go wrong?
Note: nevermind the use of mysql instead of msqli or PDO I just have to make this work so I could base my main project here.
Thanks for the help in advance. I'll appreciate it.
At the end you are calling saveimage() function, while in the code you have written the function name saveimagesaveimage().
Not only that you are passing many parameters to the function where it is initialised but where you are calling the saveimage() function even with the wrong name, no parameters are passed to it.

Weird failure in PHP if statement

OK, so here's my code. (I'll sanitize it later. Don't worry about it.)
gallery_upload_new.php
// Check if user wants to upload to existing or new album
if (isset($_POST['album'])) {
if ($_POST['album'] == '') {
$_POST['album'] = $_POST['new_album'];
}
}
// Populate album dropdown menu
$albums = $database->query("SELECT DISTINCT(album) FROM images")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);
// Load the 'upload new photo' interface if user's not uploading it already
if (!isset($_FILES['image_link']) || !isset($_POST['caption']) || $_POST['caption'] == '') {
//var_dump($_FILES);
//var_dump($_POST);
include('views/gallery_upload_new.php');
// Otherwise store the image file, register it into database, and put the user back in the list of photos
} else {
$new_image = new Image($_POST['caption'], $_POST['album']);
$new_image->register($_FILES['image_link']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['image_link']['name']);
header('location: gallery_management.php');
}
?>
views/gallery_upload_new.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $site_title; ?></title>
<?php include('views/header.php'); //Just the global CSS and JavaScript ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php include('views/nav_menu.php'); //Site navigation panel ?>
<div id="content">
<h1>Upload new photo</h1>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="gallery_upload_new.php" method="post">
<p>
<strong>Upload to album: </strong>
<select name="album">
<?php
foreach($albums as $album_name) {
echo "<option value='$album_name'>$album_name</option>";
}
?>
<option id="selectNewAlbum" value="" selected>New album</option> <input type="text" placeholder="New album name" name="new_album" id="newAlbumName">
</select>
</p>
<p><strong>Photo caption</strong> <input type="text" name="caption"></p>
<p><strong>Photo file: </strong><input type="file" required name="image_link"></p>
<input type="submit" value="Unggah">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here's the weird part: without those two var_dump's up there, the else block won't execute. I've made sure the indexes in the $_POST and $_FILES are correct. Yet without those dummy dumps, this thing won't work. It'd just load the views/gallery_upload_new.php no matter what.
It doesn't even matter if they're commented out or not. They just need to be there.
What did I do wrong? Did I made a syntax error somewhere?

php form works fine on localhost, but send empty inputs online

I have some forms in php that upload data into a mysql database. I have already tested on a localhost server with xampp, but when I upload my files into my host ftp, the forms do not work. I think it has something to do with the fact that I put this file and also the "connect.php" file under password restriction, and that has something to do with the file permissions. I've already granted permission to the user of the database and permission to the file and I also had tried without the password protection, but the result is the same.
So I start to experiment a little and I figured out that the image uploads fine into the database but the other inputs don't, neither the "header" input nor the "article" textarea... knowing that, I tried to "echo out" these input results but none of them show something unless the image input. I came to the conclusion that my form is sending empty data. Can someone make suggestions as to what is happening and how to fix it? Here's my code:

How to upload a file through jQuery or AJAX with text data and save the file name in to SQL database?

I'm writing a small PHP script to add some data in to a MySQL database. I'm using jQuery to send my text data to the processing PHP file which will put the data in to the MySQL data base that part is ok and working with out any issue.
But in this same form I need to upload a file to a folder in the server and save that path or the file name in to the database column "Img".
I've searched through the Stack site but didn't get any clue how to do this. If jQuery can't do this please tell me how to archive this with out loosing the text submission part. I'm going to list my code here.
My process PHP:
include ('connect.php');
$data = ("SELECT * FROM poiinfo");
$poiName = $_REQUEST['Name'];
$poiDes = $_REQUEST['Descrip'];
$poiCon = $_REQUEST['ConInfo'];
/*$poiImg = $_REQUEST['Image']; */ <-- my Image data but this is not the way need correct this
$dbData = "INSERT INTO poiinfo(`Name`, `Des.`, `Contact`) VALUES ('$poiName','$poiDes','$poiCon')";
$putData = mysql_query($dbData);
if ($putData){
echo "Data inserted";
}else {
echo "Not Done";
}
My form:
<?php
/**
* #author SiNUX
* #copyright 2013
*/
include ('connect.php');
$lastId = mysql_query("SELECT ID FROM poiinfo ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1");
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($lastId)){
$nId = $row['ID'];
$nId == "0";
$nId = $nId++;
mysql_quary("INSERT INTO poiinfo ('ID') VALUES ('$nId')");
}else {
$lId = $row['ID'];
$lId = $lId + 0;
$lId++;
$tId = $lId;

Please help me as I said in most post's I saw that AJAX or jQuery can't handle the file upload so if there way to do it please educate me.
Also you guys are guru of coding I'm just a grasshopper so is this good coding or do I need to improve more on my style and also in the above form I have the ajax part in the header should I move it to another file and link it to the form.
Unfortuanately, for security reasons, you cannot upload a file via AJAX. (Can you imagine what would happen if JavaScript could access your file system?)
The way round this is to use a form with the target attribute set to an invisible iframe. This will achieve a file upload without refreshing the page.

PHP Remote Image Process to save image on my server using the Picup App for mobile safari

I can't get the image to save in the /image_upload/uploads/ folder (then I can hopefully figure out the rest).
This is the code I got from parorrey.com
<?php
//remote image to copy
$remoteImageURL = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg'; //I'm not sure what URL should be here
//local directory to store image
$dir_path = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/image_upload/uploads/';
if($remoteImageURL)
{
require_once('class.get.image.php');
// initialize the class
$image = new GetImage;
// just an image URL
$image->source = $remoteImageURL;
$image->save_to = $dir_path; // with trailing slash at the end
$get = $image->download('curl'); // using cURL
$pic = $dir_path.basename($remoteImageURL);
//you can use the picture path e.g. Insert into DB from this variable $pic
?>
This is some of the code for the PICUP application
<script>
var currentParams = {}
document.observe('dom:loaded', function()
{
$(document.body).addClassName('iphone');
// We'll check the hash when the page loads in-case it was opened in a new page
// due to memory constraints
Picup.checkHash();
// Set some starter params
currentParams = {
'callbackURL' : 'http://mywebsite.com/upload_pic5.php',
'postURL' : 'http://www.mywebsite.com/image_upload/picup_remote_image.php',
'referrername' : escape('mywebsite'),
'referrerfavicon' : escape('http://mywebsite.com/kwboat.ico'),
'purpose' : escape('Select your photo for our App.'),
'debug' : 'false',
'returnThumbnailDataURL': 'true',
'thumbnailSize' : '150'
};
Picup.convertFileInput($('photo'), currentParams);
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.name = "fileupload";
</script>
This is my form code
<form action="save.php" method="post" id="add_boat">
<div class="step_bar_info">Upload a Picture of your boat</div>
<div id="image_box">
<div id="upload_area">
<?php if (isset($image_url))
{
echo '<img src="' . $image_url .'" />';
}
else
{
echo '<img src="images/boat.png" width="150px"/>';
} ?>
</div>
<input type="file" name="photo" id="photo"/><br />
Please select your photo to upload, you will need to install Picup App (Free) from iTunes. <br /><br /> Picup is a free iPhone app that facilitates photo uploads to our web app. Since Mobile Safari doesnt support file-upload form fields
<?php $image_url=($pic); ?><!-- gets from image processor though maybe should just change $pic -->
</div><!--image box-->
<input type="hidden" id="image_url" name="image_url" value="images/boat.png"/>
<div id="titlebox">Boats name<br/><input name="title" type="text" size="24" maxlength="60" value="" tabindex="1"></div><!--endtitlebox-->
<div id="info_box">Info<br/><textarea name="info" cols="20" maxlength="100" rows="2" tabindex="6"></textarea></div>
<input id="add_boat" type="submit" name="add_boat" value="save " alt="submit" title="Save item in our secure database system " />
</form>
Just from looking at your code I would like to say. If your choose file button is not showing up on your form.
In the picup currentParams. Picup.convertFileInput($('photo'), currentParams);
"photo" is intended to be your id="" name="" not "image_url"
Try
// initialize the class
$image = new GetImage();
Or its a typo?
