Hi All, First of all A very big thank you to all of you for solving my Password() encryption problem. Now I'm stuck on new problem which is image not uploading. I'm using the following code. Regards Nasreen <?php include ("header.php"); include ("dbconnect.php"); $submit=$_REQUEST["submit"] ; $aname=$_REQUEST["aname"]; $aboutu=$_REQUEST["urself"]; $file=$_REQUEST["file"]; $url_provided = $_REQUEST["url_provided"]; echo($aname); if ($submit == "Sign!") { function getImageFile($file){ $takeFile = fopen($file, "r"); $file = fread($takeFile, filesize($file)); fclose($takeFile); return $file; } function getfileType( $name ){ $name = explode(".", $name); $name = array_reverse($name); $name = $name[0]; return $name; } $allowedImageTypes = array("gif","jpg","png"); if(empty($_FILES['image_file']['tmp_name'])){ echo "File not uploaded"; } else { $fileType = $_FILES['file']['name']; if(in_array(getfileType($fileType), $allowedImageTypes)){ $fileContent = getImageFile($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']); $uploadedImage = chunk_split(base64_encode($fileContent)); $query = "INSERT INTO artist (name,about_u,imgdata, profile_url) VALUES('$aname','$aboutu','$uploadedImage','$url_provided')"; $result = mysql_query($query); if(mysql_affected_rows() > 0){ echo "Image has been inserted succesfully"; } else { echo "Image can not be inserted check your submission"; } } else { echo "This is not a true image type"; } } } ?> <div align="center" class="style1"> <h1>Artist Profile Form</h1> <p> </p> <form action="artist.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table width="397" border="0"> <tr> <th width="221" scope="col"><h4 align="right">Name:</h4></th> <th width="166" scope="col"><div align="left"> <input name="aname" type="text" id="username3"> </div></th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><div align="right">About Yourself </div></th> <td><div align="left"> <textarea name="urself"></textarea> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><div align="right"> Profile export from myspace/face book </div></th> <td><div align="left"> <input name="url_provided" type="text" id="repass"> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"><div align="right">Upload Photo </div></th> <td><div align="left"> <input type="file" name="file"> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row"> </th> <td> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign!"> <input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset"></td> </tr> </table> </form> <p><strong></strong></p> </div> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
