[Undefined Variable In Add_Other_Products.php Script "ext"]

Found the error!

 

You defined the extension with $file_ext like so:

 

$file_ext = substr($file['name'], -4);

if ( !in_array($file_type, $allowed_mime) || !in_array($file_ext, $allowed_extensions) ) {

$add_product_errors['image'] = 'The uploaded file was not of the proper type.';

} 

 

just changed to:

 

 

$ext = substr($file['name'], -4);

if ( !in_array($file_type, $allowed_mime) || !in_array($ext, $allowed_extensions) ) {

$add_product_errors['image'] = 'The uploaded file was not of the proper type.';

} 

 

 

works like a charm!

[Undefined Variable In Add_Other_Products.php Script "ext"]

After trying to add a product to the DB, I get an error saying there is an undefined variable (ext) in the add products script. Below is the lines where it is used:

 

$new_name .= ((substr($ext, 0, 1) != '.') ? ".{$ext}" : $ext);

 

Here is the whole IF statement:

 

if (!array_key_exists('image', $add_product_errors)) {

$new_name = sha1($file['name'] . uniqid('',true));

$new_name .= ((substr($ext, 0, 1) != '.') ? ".{$ext}" : $ext);

$dest =  "../products/$new_name";

if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $dest)) {

$_SESSION['image']['new_name'] = $new_name;

$_SESSION['image']['file_name'] = $file['name'];

echo '<h4>The file has been uploaded!</h4>';

} else {

trigger_error('The file could not be moved.');

unlink ($file['tmp_name']);

}

}

 

My question is should this be declared as empty? Basically declaring it like this:

 

if (!array_key_exists('image', $add_product_errors)) {

$ext = ' ';

$new_name = sha1($file['name'] . uniqid('',true));

$new_name .= ((substr($ext, 0, 1) != '.') ? ".{$ext}" : $ext);

$dest =  "../products/$new_name";

if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $dest)) {

$_SESSION['image']['new_name'] = $new_name;

$_SESSION['image']['file_name'] = $file['name'];

echo '<h4>The file has been uploaded!</h4>';

} else {

trigger_error('The file could not be moved.');

unlink ($file['tmp_name']);

}

}
