how do i convert this to send photo to my server

[dougvcd]

ok i have this form which sends all details to database and emails me with attachment if they have a photo
instead of that i wanted the photo to go to my server in a folder where all photos stored

this is my form

<form action="add1.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <table width="604" border="0" cellspacing="5">
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Name: <span class="style3">not shown</span></span></td>
      <td>
        <div class="style2">
          <input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="30" />
        </div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Email:</span> not shown</td>
      <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Tel:</span></td>
      <td><input name="tel" type="text" id="tel" size="15" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Lost/Found:</span></td>
      <td><select name="state">
          <option value="lost">LOST</option>
          <option value="found">FOUND</option>
        </select>
          <br /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Dog/Cat:</span></td>
      <td><select name="type">
          <option value="dog">Dog</option>
          <option value="cat">Cat</option>
        </select>
          <br /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><span class="style2">Area: Found or Lost</span></td>
      <td><input name="area" type="text" id="area" size="30" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td valign="top"><span class="style2">Description:</span></td>
      <td><textarea name="desc" cols="30" rows="6" id="desc"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Photo: Rename your photo to see below</td>
      <td><input type="file" name="pic" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Anti-Spam Question. How many legs on a Dog ?</td>
      <td><input name="leg" type="text" id="leg" size="3" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Picture Number as below if no pic then enter 1 for dog 2 for cat</td>
      <td><input name="pnum" type="text" id="pnum" size="3" /></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><input name="send" type="submit" id="send" onclick="MM_validateForm('name','','R','email','','NisEmail','tel','','RisNum','area','','R','desc','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Send" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

                
                </div> 

and here is the action form

//This gets all the other information from the form
$state=$_POST['state']; 
$type=$_POST['type'];
$area=$_POST['area'];
$desc=$_POST['desc'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$tel=$_POST['tel'];
$pnum=$_POST['pnum'];
$date = date("d-m-Y");
$pname=$pnum.".jpg";

// Connects to your Database 
 $dbh=mysql_connect("localhost", "vcd", "57") or die('I cannot connect to database because: ' .mysql_error()) ; 
mysql_select_db("pets"); 

//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `register` VALUES ('$id', '$state', '$type', '$area', '$desc', '$name', '$email', '$tel', '$pname', '$date')");

//compose the mail message        
 $msg= "New Record\n Region: $region, Name: $name, Email: $email ";       
//send the mail       
mail('d@gmail.com','New Record',$msg)

?>

You can use move_uploaded_file() to save the file to a specific directory.

[dougvcd]

yes i read that some where but cant remeber how to do that
cheers

The official php manual is always a great place to learn more about a function. You just goto
php.net/FUNCTION_NAME_HERE

for example
www.php.net/move_uploaded_file

There's usually a lot of user posted comments as well for most functions. This may help too

This wouldn't matter.

$state=$_POST['state']; 
$type=$_POST['type'];
$area=$_POST['area'];
$desc=$_POST['desc'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$tel=$_POST['tel'];
$pnum=$_POST['pnum'];
$date = date("d-m-Y");
$pname=$pnum.".jpg";

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'], 'path/to/your/uploads/'.$pname);

# rest of your code 

[Todd88]

Please filter your variables. :P
