Just to add, if i try to echo the $_FILES['txtPhoto']['temp_name'] it tells
me that temp_name is also an array, but when i echo
$_FILES['txtPhoto']['name'] it gives me the correct name. Also with a
vardump i can see that temp name is ["tmp_name"]=> string(14)
"/tmp/phplR1WSl" and not an array by itself.

Im going crazy here

I'd give a shorter example. People don't want to read through all your
code..

Also you shoudl post some sort of indication of what you are trying to
do to get the results you describe... just saying "the variable arrives
as an array" and we don't really know how you are accessing "the variable".

A short example and expected/actual behaviour listing is good :)

I ran it, and here is the output

Array ( [txtPhoto] => Array ( [name] => g1.jpg [type] => image/pjpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/php3qkA4A [error] => 0 [size] => 17008 ) )

Well check what the value is. I think you must do more testing yourself
instead of just posting here because then you will not learn and also if you
trouble shoot it yourself it will allow you to fix errors in the future.

"on it" is very vague dude. Be more specific... show code!!!

From later posts it appears you are using register_globals to access the
file as if it is a local variable.

$txtPhotoData = addslashes(fread(fopen($txtPhoto, "r"),
filesize($txtPhoto)));

For file upload elements $txtPhoto will be an array. use
$txtPhoto['tmp_name'] or something. It's all in the manual.

PS just avoid register globals anyway, it's evil.

Dude, just as a general observation, when you are asking for help, don't
just describe what you do, post the code. But don't post full files,
just post what's absolutely needed.

In this case you don't understand how file uploads work. Just read the
PHP manual and you'll see what needs to be done.

this is the code that is giving the problem

I did not do the code im just trying to help out, if never use this kind of
code to work with photos, i normally use move_uploaded_file and put the path
in the databse, but it look like this code puts the photo in the database as
binary or something.

OK, I'll try and spell it out seeing as the link to the PHP Manual
didn't take ;)

The variable $txtPhoto exists because you have register global option set.

It will be the same value as $_FILES['txtPhoto'].

This variable *is an array*. It is not meant to contain just a filename.

Your fopen() statement assumes that this variable *is a string* and this
is fundamentally wrong.

The PHP Manula page cannot be more clear about what the various elements
in this array mean:

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
(here their element is called 'userfile', yours is called 'txtPhoto'.

$_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.

$_FILES['userfile']['type']
The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information.
An example would be "image/gif". This mime type is however not checked
on the PHP side and therefore don't take its value for granted.

$_FILES['userfile']['size']
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.

$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was
stored on the server.

$_FILES['userfile']['error']
The error code associated with this file upload. This element was
added in PHP 4.2.0

The ['name'] is the original name of the file the person uploaded. Your
code tries to load the contents of the file into a variable. To do this,
this simplest way is to do:

$photoData = file_get_contents($_FILES['txtPhoto']['tmp_name']);

Your code calls addslashes() on it but that's pretty braindead as it's
binary data. If it's going into a database you'd be better formatting it
using a database formatting function (e.g. mysql_real_escape_string) and
not just relying on an ad-hoc method.

And you don't do:

$txtPhotoData = addslashes(fread(fopen($_FILES['txtPhoto']['tmp_name'],
"r"), filesize($_FILES['txtPhoto']['tmp_name'])));

because.... ?

- Tul

P.S. if you want more readable code (PHP >= 4.3.0, which you should have
anyway) use:
$txtPhotoData = file_get_contents($_FILES['txtPhoto']['tmp_name']);

So, like I said before. Use the right key name, and all will be one with your

add this before:
$txtPhoto = $_FILES['txtPhoto']['tmp_name'];

and don't use addslashes but rather mysql_real_escape_string or whatever
suits your database most
