I keep getting the following error with this PHP Image Upload code "File is an image - image/jpeg.Sorry, there was an error uploading your file."
Here is my HTML Form
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>
Here is my php code
<?php
$sql="INSERT INTO pictures (file, name)
VALUES
'$_POST[file]', '$_POST[name]' ";
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType !=
"jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been
uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
I thought this was due to image size but no matter what size image small or large I keep getting the same error message "File is an image - image/jpeg.Sorry, there was an error uploading your file."
My database is set to the following
id - int(11)
file - mediumblob
name - varchar(255)
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
<?php
//in your code here is syntax error $_POST[file]
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
} else {
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType !=
"jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["file"]["name"]). " has been
uploaded.";//here also syntax error
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
Seems like your code failing at this line,
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file))
Either you have problem writing to designated folder because permission or the folder is not exist or there are error on upload process.
Have you tried turn on error_reporting and check specific php error code displayed?
This message "File is an image - image/jpeg.Sorry, there was an error uploading your file." you assume error message is actually a line on your code.
