How to upload photo in database and in folder with php

Question

---

Hello, I'm new in this forum ande I'm new in php. I'm creating one project and i want to upload photo into database and that photo to be stored in another folder. I found one tutorial, but it talks just for the username which he entered, not the username that is in database for example in the "member.php" shown below . Can someone help me by correcting my PHP code and to make it work for my database? Please someone let help me, i need it immidiately...

In this style my database is created

---

id | fullname | username | password | filelocation |

---

1 | noname | malitet | 3423@!#4 | |

---

i want for users that exist on the database, for example this user "malitet" is logged in and this user to upload avatar...

Here is my php code

the file name is upload.php

<?php

include ("connect.php");

$_SESSION['username']=malitet   ;

$username = $_SESSION['username'];


if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{

//get file attributes
$name = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'];

if ($name)
{

//start upload process

$location = "avatars/$name";
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name,$location);

$query = mysql_query("UPDATE users1 SET imagelocation='$location' WHERE username='$username'");

die ("Your avatar has been uploaded!<a href='view.php'>Home</a>");


}
else
die ("Please select a file!");


}


echo "Welcome, ".$username."!<p>";

echo "Upload your image

<form action='upload.php' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
File: <input type='file' name='myfile'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'>

</form>

";

?>

here is my connect.php

<?php
$error = "Unable to connect";
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die($error);
mysql_select_db('phplogin') or die ($error);
?>

here is my view.php

<?php

include ("connect.php");

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users1 WHERE username='$username'");
if (mysql_num_rows('$query')==1)
die ("User not found!");
else
{

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
$location = $row['imagelocation'];

echo "<img src='$location' width='100' height='100'>";

}   

?>

this is member page into which i want to upload file...or if there exist any other way but i know its very simple, if someone can help me pls---- member.php

<?php

session_start();

if (isset($_SESSION['username']))
echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='logout.php'>Log out</a><br><a href='changepassword.php'>Change password</a>";
else
die ("You must be logged in! <a href='index.php'>Click here</a> to return to login page");

?>

I hope that you will help me...I'm waiting for answer...:):):)

Answer 2

hi there is some error . always start session before use it .Ok Use this code :

this is upload.php file

<?php

session_start();
include ("connect.php");

$_SESSION['username'] = 'malitet';

$username = $_SESSION['username'];


if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{

//get file attributes
    $name = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
    $tmp_name = $_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'];

    if ($name)
    {
        //start upload process
        $location = "avatars/" . $name;
        move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $location);
        $sql = "UPDATE users1 SET imagelocation='$location' WHERE username='$username'";
        $query = mysql_query($sql);
        echo "Your avatar has been uploaded!<a href='view.php'>Home</a>";
    }
    else die("Please select a file!");
}
echo "Welcome, " . $username . "!<p>";

echo "Upload your image

<form action='upload.php' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
File: <input type='file' name='myfile'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'>

</form>

";
?>

================================================

this is view.php file

<?php

include ("connect.php");
session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['username'];


$sql = "SELECT * FROM users1 WHERE username='$username'";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($query) == 1)
{
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
    $location = $row['imagelocation'];
    echo "<h1>Welcome</h1><br/>";
    echo "<img src='$location' width='100' height='100'>";
}
else
{
    echo "User Not found";
}
?>

===============================================

and connect.php file is ok so you use your previous one
