Please explain to me Stalion what ma not doing right. But it works for me
What you pasted is not a function definition. Look through (or Search In Files, if your editor supports it) the code until you find the words “function uploadImage”
okay 
<?php
require_once '../../library/config.php';
require_once '../library/functions.php';
checkUser();
$action = isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : '';
switch ($action) {
case 'add' :
addCategory();
break;
case 'modify' :
modifyCategory();
break;
case 'delete' :
deleteCategory();
break;
case 'deleteImage' :
deleteImage();
break;
default :
// if action is not defined or unknown
// move to main category page
header('Location: index.php');
}
/*
Add a category
*/
function addCategory()
{
$name = $_POST['txtName'];
$description = $_POST['mtxDescription'];
$image = $_FILES['fleImage'];
$parentId = $_POST['hidParentId'];
$catImage = uploadImage('fleImage', SRV_ROOT . 'images/category/');
$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_category (cat_parent_id, cat_name, cat_description, cat_image)
VALUES ($parentId, '$name', '$description', '$catImage')";
$result = dbQuery($sql) or die('Cannot add category' . mysql_error());
header('Location: index.php?catId=' . $parentId);
}
/*

function uploadImage($inputName, $uploadDir)
{
$image = $_FILES[$inputName];
$imagePath = '';
// if a file is given
if (trim($image['tmp_name']) != '') {
// get the image extension
$ext = substr(strrchr($image['name'], "."), 1);
// generate a random new file name to avoid name conflict
////////////$imagePath = md5(rand() * time()) . ".$ext";///////////////// remove md5 function ///////
$imagePath = $image['name'] ;
// check the image width. if it exceed the maximum
// width we must resize it

$imagePath = createThumbnail($image['tmp_name'], $uploadDir . $imagePath, MAX_CATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH);

// if fail set $imagePath to empty string

I use this for my website:
$target_path = “images/category/”;
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘name’]);
Then i insert to database
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query(“INSERT INTO banner (uploadedfile) VALUES (‘$uploadedfile’)”);
Then create a function to upload for you
function upload ($file, $path){
move_uploaded_file($file, $path);
}
Then call your function to upload your photo
$picture = $_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘tmp_name’];
thumb($picture, $target_path);
If you have already uploaded your script to server, you have to make sure your folder permission is set to 777 using your ftp software. I use filezilla.
Let me know if my tip helps.
Cheers and happy coding:eye:
Can you please post the code for the uploadImage function?
Hi guys ! Thank you so much !! problem solved 
My mistakes here:
$catImage = uploadImage(‘fleImage’, SRV_ROOT . ‘images/category/’);
I change it to:
$catImage = uploadImage(‘fleImage’, ‘…/…/images/category/’);
On my config.php:
define(‘SRV_ROOT’, ‘/root/www/plaincart/’);
shedishedi: I had tried the method you gave but is not working for me 
but Thank you so much for helping appreciate it
StarLion: the only words “function uploadImage” i found is only in the processCategory.php file that i provide, i had tried looking for the words but no luck. anyways…Thanks for helping
