Chapter 17 File Upload Only Works First Time


Recommended Posts

I have successfully implemented the "add_prints.php" script however it only works the first time I use it. When I try to add another entry, it fails with

 

The file has been uploaded!

The category has been added.

Your submission could not be processed due to a system error.

 

The artist (in my case category) is successfully added, however the print and image (in my case company) fail to be added.

 

Attached is my code:

<?php
// This page allows the administrator to add a company (product).

require_once ('../../../mysqli_connect.php');

if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { // Handle the form.
	
	// Validate the incoming data...
	$errors = array();

	// Check for a company name:
	if (!empty($_POST['company_name'])) {
		$cn = trim($_POST['company_name']);
	} else {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter the company\'s name!';
	}
	
	// Check for a phone number:
	if (!empty($_POST['phone'])) {
		$p = trim($_POST['phone']);
	} else {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter the company\'s phone number!';
	}
	
	// Check for address 1:
	if (!empty($_POST['address_1'])) {
		$a1 = trim($_POST['address_1']);
	} else {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter the first line of the address.';
	}
	
	// Check for postcode:
	if (!empty($_POST['postcode'])) {
		$pc = trim($_POST['postcode']);
	} else {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter the postcode.';
	}
	
	// Check for an image:
	if (is_uploaded_file ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'])) {
	
		// Create a temporary file name:
		$temp = '../../../uploads/' . md5($_FILES['image']['name']);
	
		// Move the file over:
		if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $temp)) {
	
			echo '<p>The file has been uploaded!</p>';
			
			// Set the $i variable to the image's name:
			$i = $_FILES['image']['name'];
	
		} else { // Couldn't move the file over.
			$errors[] = 'The file could not be moved.';
			$temp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
		}

	} else { // No uploaded file.
		$errors[] = 'No file was uploaded.';
		$temp = NULL;
	}

	//Check for not required data
	
	// Check for address 2(not required):
	$a2 = (!empty($_POST['address_2'])) ? trim($_POST['address_3']) : NULL;
	
	// Check for address 3(not required):
	$a3 = (!empty($_POST['address_2'])) ? trim($_POST['address_3']) : NULL;
	
	// Check for email(not required):
	$e = (!empty($_POST['email'])) ? trim($_POST['email']) : NULL;
	
	// Check for website(not required):
	$w = (!empty($_POST['website'])) ? trim($_POST['website']) : NULL;
	
	// Check for a description (not required):
	$d = (!empty($_POST['description'])) ? trim($_POST['description']) : NULL;
	
	// Validate the category...
	if (isset($_POST['category']) && ($_POST['category'] == 'new') ) {
		// If it's a new category, add the category to the database...

		// Check for a category name...
		if (!empty($_POST['category_name'])) {

			// Add the category to the database:
