How would I add a photo field to the profile?

Olaf, thanks for your prompt responses and your help.

Couple of questions that might help me along with this project. Basically i'm creating a site that features profiles of individuals who are business people. When they register they should be able to upload a photo. At the same time i'd like a thumbnail to be created. Therefore your foto_upload.php comes into play since it 'extends' the upload_class.php file with that functionality. So, first questions is.... in my main profile page where they complete the profile form, I would modify it to include an image upload field probably just borrowing the code you provide in the foto_upload form code. Would I need to 'include' both files into that page? Like

include 'foto_upload.php';
include 'upload_class.php';

I'm just not 100% on how i'd integrate these into the main scripts. Thanks.

the upload class is already included inside the photo upload extension...

Ok, then all I need is to have the one include statement for the upload_class.php file?

Ok, then all I need is to have the one include statement for the upload_class.php file?

no the other one

Ok, so then the foto_upload.php is what I need to include.

I think I need to explain a bit more so we can get to the right answer

Your foto_upload.php is a self contained file/class which means that the script includes the form for uploading and uses PHP_SELF as the action.

I'm using a different script called 'addbiz.php' which parses all the data from a form called 'add-form.php' which is the profile form and image upload form. I need 'addbiz.php' to take the $_POST data from 'add-form.php', create the thumbnail and full size image and insert the data and image reference into a mysql database.

So, it goes like this:

complete 'add-form.php', hit Submit, action points to 'addbiz.php' which parses the data and inserts the info into mysql.

What's missing is the function for creating the thumbnail and full sized image in my 'addbiz.php' script. I have an 'include 'foto_upload.php' statement in there but there must be some code I have to also insert that determines the parameters.

Does this help to clarify what I need? Thanks.

remove the form from the photo upload extension and include this mofied "class" file in your personal upload form.

Ok, to be perfectly clear on this:

1) remove the upload form from the foto_upload.php file
2) save it
3) in my current form parsing script (addbiz.php) I would have: include 'foto_upload.php';

Question:

Aside from having the 'include' statement, wouldn't I need some variables and code setting the parameters of the images?

Also, these will be inserted into a mysql database assigned to a user's specific profile.

I don't know what you script is but start with splitting the extesion file into two parts:

upload_extension.php

Code:

<?php
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/classes/upload/upload_class.php");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("memory_limit", "64M");
set_time_limit(60);

class Foto_upload extends file_upload {

     /// the class code
}
?>

the_upload_form.php

Code:

<?php
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path_to/photo_upload_extension/upload_extension.php");

$max_size = 1024*1024; // the max. size for uploading (~1MB)
define("MAX_SIZE", $max_size);
$foto_upload = new Foto_upload;

$foto_upload->upload_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/test_files/"; // "files" is the folder for the uploaded files (you have to create these folder)
$foto_upload->foto_folder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/test_files/photo/";
$foto_upload->thumb_folder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/test_files/thumb/";
$foto_upload->extensions = array(".jpg"); // specify the allowed extension(s) here
$foto_upload->language = "en";
$foto_upload->x_max_size = 300;
$foto_upload->y_max_size = 200;
$foto_upload->x_max_thumb_size = 120;
$foto_upload->y_max_thumb_size = 150;

if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && $_POST['Submit'] == "Upload") {
$foto_upload->the_temp_file = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$foto_upload->the_file = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$foto_upload->http_error = $_FILES['upload']['error'];
$foto_upload->replace = (isset($_POST['replace'])) ? $_POST['replace'] : "n"; // because only a checked checkboxes is true
$foto_upload->do_filename_check = "n"; 
if ($foto_upload->upload()) {
$foto_upload->process_image(false, true, true, 80);
$foto_upload->message[] = "Processed foto: ".$foto_upload->file_copy."!"; // "file_copy is the name of the foto"
}
}
$error = $foto_upload->show_error_string();
?>
