I got it to work like this.. I don't know if you didn't want to use INSERT
or something but it sticks the filename in the database table for me..
<?php
$dir_name = "/home/httpd/html/database/images";
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
$file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\">
<SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_name";
while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {
if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) {
$file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\"
NAME=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>";
}
}
$file_list .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\"
VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>";
closedir($dir);
?>
within the page... I echo the results like so:
<? echo "$file_list"; ?>
so far so good, now on the index_done.php3 my code is put into a require
statement and the required file code is as follows...
<?php
$db_name = "phpTemp";
$table_name = "fileList";
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "notme", "getyourown") or die
("Could not connect to database. Please try again later.");
$db = mysql_select_db("$db_name",$connection) or die ("Could not select
database table. Database said: " . mysql_error() );
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name( files ) VALUES( \"$files\" )";
//$sql = "UPDATE $table_name SET files = \"$files\"";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die ("Could not execute query.
Database said: " . mysql_error() );
?>
I changed the names of the database and table, stuff like that..
Personally, I would do it like this:
<?php
if( !$command ) main();
if( $command == "goForIt" ) doTheDeed( $files );
exit;
function main()
{
$dir_name = "/home/httpd/html/database/images";
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
$file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\"
ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF?command=goForIt\">
<SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_name";
while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {
if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) {
$file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\"
NAME=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>";
}
}
$file_list .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\"
VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>";
closedir($dir);
echo "$file_list";
}
function doTheDeed( $files )
{
$db_name = "phpTemp";
$table_name = "fileList";
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "notme", "getyourown") or die
("Could not connect to database. Please try again later.");
$db = mysql_select_db("$db_name",$connection) or die ("Could not select
database table. Database said: " . mysql_error() );
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name( files ) VALUES( \"$files\" )";
//$sql = "UPDATE $table_name SET files = \"$files\"";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
$error = mysql_error();
if( eregi( "uplicate", $error ) ) echo( "Sorry, $files is already in the
database.<br><br>" );
else echo( "$files added to database successfully.<br><br>" );
echo( "<a href=\"javascript:history.back();\">Add another file?</a>" );
}
?>
But it is your project...
