hope someone can help me with this.
i am trying to update records in a mysql db with a new image but i keep gettin errors.
i am using a hidden form input to post a variable across to a new page, i can echo the variable out at the top of the page but it will not update the database using this variable.
here is the code i am using to pass the variable across to the new page.
echo "<form action=\"$page\" method=\"post\">";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"id_num\" value=\"$id\" />";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Upload Image\"/>";
echo "</form>";then the code for the page that handles this data is as follows.
<?php
$id_num = $_POST['id_num'];
echo "$id_num"; //echo's out the number from the previous page
set_time_limit(0);
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxx) or die("Could not connect to host.");
mysql_select_db(xxxxxxdb) or die("Could not find database.");
//define a maxim size for the uploaded images
define ("MAX_SIZE","500");
// define the width and height for the thumbnail
// note that theese dimmensions are considered the maximum dimmension and are not fixed,
// because we have to keep the image ratio intact or it will be deformed
define ("WIDTH","150");
define ("HEIGHT","120");
// this is the function that will create the thumbnail image from the uploaded image
// the resize will be done considering the width and height defined, but without deforming the image
function make_thumb($img_name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h)
{
//get image extension.
$ext=getExtension($img_name);
//creates the new image using the appropriate function from gd library
if(!strcmp("jpg",$ext) || !strcmp("jpeg",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($img_name);
if(!strcmp("png",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefrompng($img_name);
if(!strcmp("gif",$ext))
$src_img=imagecreatefromgif($img_name);
//gets the dimmensions of the image
$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
$old_y=imageSY($src_img);
// next we will calculate the new dimmensions for the thumbnail image
// the next steps will be taken:
// 1. calculate the ratio by dividing the old dimmensions with the new ones
// 2. if the ratio for the width is higher, the width will remain the one define in WIDTH variable
// and the height will be calculated so the image ratio will not change
// 3. otherwise we will use the height ratio for the image
// as a result, only one of the dimmensions will be from the fixed ones
$ratio1=$old_x/$new_w;
$ratio2=$old_y/$new_h;
if($ratio1>$ratio2) {

?>when i try to upload the image i get these errors
Warning: mysql_affected_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/acmeart/public_html/lock/cms/cons_image2_up.php on line 169 SQL: UPDATE general SET image= 'image/thumb505.jpg' WHERE id= ''
Affected rows:any help with this would be much appreciated.
