Hey all, I am building a database for work that will contain some minor data on plant species along with 4 images. I have developed the form and am able to add the data but due to my abilities and I am stuck trying to get the images to post properly. I am looking for some help or better ways of doing what I am trying to do. Here is my code:
<?php // ivmdadd.php
require_once 'ivmlogin.php';
$db_server = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password);
if (!$db_server) die("Unable to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_database, $db_server)
or die("Unable to select database: " . mysql_error());
// Start with the PHP code
$commonname = $scientificname = $class = $color = $controlcty = $wsdotrow = $prescription = "";
if (isset($_POST['commonname']))
$commonname = fix_string($_POST['commonname']);
if (isset($_POST['scientificname']))
$scientificname = fix_string($_POST['scientificname']);
if (isset($_POST['class']))
$class = fix_string($_POST['class']);
if (isset($_POST['color']))
$color = fix_string($_POST['color']);
if (isset($_POST['controlcty']))
$controlcty = fix_string($_POST['controlcty']);
if (isset($_POST['wsdotrow']))
$wsdotrow = fix_string($_POST['wsdotrow']);
if (isset($_POST['prescription']))
$prescription = fix_string($_POST['prescription']);
$fail = validate_commonname($commonname);
echo "<html><head><title>Add IVM Data</title>";
if ($fail == "") {
echo "</head><body>IVM data successfully validated and added to the database: $commonname,
$scientificname, $class, $color, $controlcty, $wsdotrow, $prescription, $name.</body></html>";
// databse post
$query = "INSERT INTO ivm_data(commonname, scientificname, class, color, controlcty, wsdotrow, prescription, name) VALUES('$commonname','$scientificname', '$class', '$color', '$controlcty', '$wsdotrow', '$prescription', '$name')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
exit;
}
// Now output the HTML and JavaScript code
echo <<<_END

{
