NOOB needs help with upload file

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

The intent of this form is to create a folder for a client and upload an image into another folder 'imagesClients'. The form works as follows:
Username: selected from drop down menu.
Folder: Slide shows will be FTP to folder. Repeat clients may have more than one folder. Uploaded images will not go into this folder.
Image: Selected from window
Active: Either yes or no

mkdir works without any problems.

Here are my issues:
1. image doesn't upload to 'imagesClients' folder.
2. image name isn't uploading to the db.
3. how would I add a file validation to 'if(!$user || !$folder || !$active)'. I tried creating a variable for 'file' but received an undefined error.
3. I'm self taught through a dummies book, am I doing this right or is there a better method?

Thanks in advance!!

slideshow_new.php
Code: <?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once('site_fns.php');
include("connect.php");
do_html_header('New Client');
do_menu_main2('');
check_login();
do_mainadmin_menu('');

if(!$_POST['submit']) // 'submit' hasn't been clicked so output html.
{
//set up form options to select a username
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT username FROM Client");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
$dd .= "<option value='{$row['username']}'>{$row['username']}</option>";
}
