I had a file named start.php in my D:\Wamp folder.I need to upload the file and enter the full path ie D:\Wamp\start.php into my database.I did the code.But I am not getting the full file path in my database
the Code is as follows:

   <tr>
       <td width="71">Select a file <span style="color:#FF0000"></span></td>
       <td width="292"><input type="file" name="userfile" id="userfile"></td>
   </tr>

My php code is as follows:

$path = "uploads/";

$path = $path . basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']); 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path);

My database insertion code is as follows:

 $sql ="insert into invoice(filelocation) values('$path')";

Any help would be appreciated....

My file is been uploaded but the filename is not inserted into my database.Any help would be appreciated.I want to insert the uploaded filename into my database.
i edited my code as follows

<tr>
    <td width="71">
        <div id="file-uploader-demo1">
          <div class="qq-uploader">
              <!--<div class="qq-upload-drop-area" style="display: none;">
                 <span>Drop files here to upload</span>
              </div>-->

              <div class="qq-upload-button" >
                Upload a file
                <input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="userfile" id="userfile">
              </div>
    </td>
           <ul class="qq-upload-list"></ul>
         </div>
       </div>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="fileuploader.js"></script>
       <script>
         function createUploader(){
          var uploader = new qq.FileUploader({
           element: document.getElementById('file-uploader-demo1'),
           action: 'do-nothing.htm',
           debug: true
          });
         }
         // in your app create uploader as soon as the DOM is ready
         // don't wait for the window to load
         window.onload = createUploader;
       </script>  
</tr>

this is my php code:

 $target = "./"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']); 
 $file=($_FILES['userfile']['name']); 
 $fileContents = file_get_contents($file);
 $sql ="insert into invoice(filelocation) values('$fileContents')";

seems your html is badly formed as you have overlapping tags (td and divs).

Member Avatar for bavenbabu

i am also thinking that way.But i am little confused as how to align it.

Member Avatar for bavenbabu

this is my html code

<body>
<div align="center">
            <form action="addinvoice.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                <table border="0" align="center">
                    <tr>
                        <td width="71">Department <span style="color:#FF0000"></span></td><td width="292"><select name="department">

<option value="graphics">graphics</option>

</select></td>
<td width="53">Category <span style="color:#FF0000"></span></td><td width="271"><select name="category">

Be aware that 'multiple' doesn't work with IE9 and below - not sure about 10.

Member Avatar for bavenbabu

i checked without multiple.Still the code doesn't work.The files are uploaded but the filename is not showing when i use var_dump($_FILES)

Member Avatar for bavenbabu

when i used var_dump($_post),the flename is not shown and it is not reading the filename.That is why in database the filelocation is not shown.Anyone please help me in correcting my code

Member Avatar for veedeoo

Your problem is this..

 $fileContents = file_get_contents($file);
 $sql ="insert into invoice(filelocation) values('$fileContents')";

file get_contents is for parsing text, html and coverting it to string. I really don't understand the reasons of using it, unless you want to collect webpages, text and store all of the parse contents in database. I thought all you need is the filename to be inserted in your database..

Member Avatar for bavenbabu

I need the filename path to be inserted.I am not getting filename in the database.What might be the reason?????
