error uploading image using
Error uploading image: 0
im using the following to upload images to the server and place the imge name in the db. i'm guessing this is a problem with my configuration file. the following is the form element - but it seems like no matter where i try to do this on my cms (which i did not create so i'm assuming this has worked on other servers) i get this error:
Error uploading image: 0 - so this is in my database fleld.
actually - somehow in the midst of all of this one file was uplaoded to the proper directory but it was changed from a jpg to this: h-7354.haines
form element:
<input type="hidden" name="currentimage" value="<?= $imagefile; ?>" />
<? } ?>
<tr>
<td>Photo: <em><small><? if (strlen($imagefile)) echo "Upload only to overwrite exisiting photograph"; ?></small></em><br />
<input type="file" name="imagefile" size="25" maxlength="255" tabindex="<?= $ak->tabindex($key); ?>" />

well- i didn't do that but i've added some of your numbers to the code and it seems to be uploading but it almost seems like it's converting the files to ASCII
"converting the files to ASCII" - my script does not do that - files upload correctly.
ASKER
any other ideas why that would happen? like i'm uploading bla.jpg and it turns into 232.bla?
No idea at all - that is a logic error in the upload script, and you have not posted the upload script. But since we know for sure that the upload script is defective, why not start with my example and recode on top of that platform? It will at least give you a working foundation to start from!

i'm not seeing an upload script anywyhere -
this is on the same page as my upload form:
$filename = fu::uploadImage($_FILES['i magefile'] , TIMELINE_F);
this is why i thought there was a connection wih this line from my config file:
define('TIMELINE_F', IMGROOT . 'timeline');
this is on the same page as my upload form:
$filename = fu::uploadImage($_FILES['i

ASKER
thanks ray - i can use this for future file upload scripts.

just realized what the actual problem was in this instance - the filenames of the images i'm trying to upload:
i.e. h.bla.jpg
i think the 1st period in the filename is throwing my image application off

You may be able to use basename() to help with that issue.
Thanks for the points, and good luck with it, ~Ray
