How to parse an image file in php?

I got this message back:

Notice: Undefined index: image in /hermes/web09c/b2950/moo.auroriellacom/includes/library.php on line 1209

When I did only this:

$image = basename($_FILES['image']['name']);      

This is the whole function:

function update_fields($table) {
	global $conn, $message, $errors, $error;
	if(empty($errors) && isset($_POST['submit'])) { // Perform Update
		if(isset($_GET['product'])) {
			$id = mysql_clean_strings($_GET['product']);
		}
		else {
			$id = item_id();
		}
		$name = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['name']);
		$content = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['content']);
		$image = basename($_FILES['image']['name']);		
		$material_id = update_materials();
		$featured = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['featured']);
		$color = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['color']);
		$stock = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['stock']);
		$price = mysql_clean_strings($_POST['price']);
/*
		$query = "UPDATE " . $table . " SET
				  name = '$name',
				  content = '$content',
				  filename = '$image',
				  material_id = '$material_id',
				  featured = '$featured',
				  color = '$color',
				  stock = '$stock',
				  price = '$price'
				  WHERE id = '$id'";
*/		$result = mysql_query($query, $conn);
		confirm_query($result);
		if ($result) {
			// Successful
			$message = "The product was successfuly updated.";
		}
		else {
			// Failed
			$error = "The product update failed.";
			$error .= "<br />" . mysql_error();
			echo var_dump($result);
		}
	}
}

What is your image field name called?

<input id="image" type="file" name="image" value="" />

That is basically saying that the image field is not between the form tags

<form method="post" action="edit_product.php?edit=<?php echo $table ?>&item=<?php echo ($_GET['item']); ?>">
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo strip_tags(headers()); ?>" class="textLg" />
<br style="clear: both;" />
<iframe id="preview" src="<?php echo display();?>"></iframe>
<div id="info">
<textarea name="content">
<?php echo get_data($field='content', $table);?>
</textarea>
<h4>Materials</h4>
<div id="materials">
<?php
get_table_material();
echo materials();
?>
</div><!-- end #materials -->
</div><!-- end #info -->
<div id="options">
<input type="text" name="price" value="$<?php echo get_data($field='price', $table); ?>" /><p>
Color: <br />
<input type="text" name="color" value="<?php echo color(); ?>" />
<?php
echo qty();
$item = get_item();
?>
</div><!-- end #options -->
<br style="clear: left;" />
<label>Image: <input id="image" type="file" name="image" value="" /></label>
<p>
<label>Metal Id: <input type="text" name="metal_id" value="<?php echo get_data($field='metal_id', $table);?>" class="textSm" /></label>
<label>Featured: Yes <input type="checkbox" name="featured" value="1" />No <input type="checkbox" name="featured" value="0" checked /></label>
<label>In Stock: Yes <input type="checkbox" name="stock" value="1" checked />No <input type="checkbox" name="stock" value="0" /></label>
</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" /></a>
</form>

Ok, I used a var_dump on my $image and I got this back

string(7) "n16.png"

By basename I wanted it without the image type. ..  I do I remove the file type .png  (short of removing the characters of the string)

Are you wanting to make it a png?

I mean a jpg?

No, I want it to be a png.  But I use the file name n17 or whatever as the item name throughout my website so when I retrieve the file name I don't want the .png with it

but will that just return the first character? or everything before the period?

Everything before the period

Thanks again :)
