Try uploading the file without changing the name.

Try these debugging tips:

Did you check inside the images folder?
Is the image there?
If the image is there what name does it have?
Manually put an image inside the image folder (copy and paste), then try using your code to display the image...

Does it display the manually uploaded image?

Hope this was helpful?


Updated: check the image

Thank you very much, it is now working...... i remove the dirname, and moved the file to the directory straight, without changing the name of the file... SEE MY CHANGES BELOW

I replaced this
$newname=dirname().'/images1/'.$filename;
if(!file_exists($newname))
{
if((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'],$newname)))
{


with this below
$newname='images1/'.$filename;
if(!file_exists($newname))
{
if((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'],$newname)))
{

And it is now working..... Thanks, i really appreciate

Can you explain what you mean by Google adsense?

For standard, it is not advisable to use the mail() function. Not that it's deprecated but there are less to what to you can do with it.

I'll recommend you use PHPMailer. With this, you can set headers, attach docs to mails and other great features.

adewasco2k:


Read up php function mail()

Also you should know about forms and POST/GET

It's usuall advisable to use the $_POST variable to send information to the server.

PHPMailer should be recommended instead.

Elvisten10:
all you need to know to achieve this is HTML FORM, PHP $_GET OR $_POST VARIABLES (ARRAY) AND PROBABLY THE PHP MAIL() FUNCTION. You write the html form and put the contact php script name as the value for the action attribute, then you get the submitted data with the $_GET or $_POST variables and probably send it to your mail using the mail function.

A sketch...

You'll need a html form, with the action attribute pointing to where your php form processor page is. Leave blank if the code is on the same page as the html form or put <?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>. Don't forget to use POST as the method.

2. On your processing page, get the values by setting variables to it. E.g $mail=htmlspecialchars($_POST["email"]); The "email" key should correspond with the name you set in your html form. Also don't forget to sanitize your input.

You should have made a connection before now.

Example code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"] !==""{
include("db.php";
//set your variables and sanitize
$name=htmlspecialchars($_POST["name"]);
$mail=htmlspecialchars($_POST["mail"]);
$content=htmlspecialchars($_POST["content"]);
//do necessary if else

//insert into the db

//if insert, send mail();

//echo message

}
?>

Thought I would also be needing to add some database info. Guess I need to read up the whole tut. I got frustrated after the codes just stopped making sense and gave up. Thanks.

<?php
$thepost="the whole as a whole";
$start=0; //0 is the first array position in the php. u can change it to whichever position you would want it to start displaying from the string

$length=70 //depending on the no of strings u want to show from the post

echo substr($thepost,$start,$length);

?>

//constructed by Phemmy THE WEB DEVELOPER 07031175291

Next time, it's advisable u post a sample code where u nid help. We can't work on abstract.

Let's create a php function, so we can use it multiple times in our project.

<?php
function truncate($text, $chars =150, $terminator=' …'){
$cutPos = $chars - mb_strlen($terminator);

$boundaryPos = mb_strrpos(mb_substr($text,0, mb_strpos($text,' ', $cutPos)),' ');

return mb_substr($text,0, $boundaryPos ===false? $cutPos : $boundaryPos). $terminator;

}

?>

By default, the text will be truncated by 150chars and terminated by "...".

You can edit the terminator variable to a link and the chars variable.

Feel free to let me know if u encountered any problem.
.
EDIT::

USUAGE:

truncate($text,"300","..."

or

truncate($text,"300","<a href='path/to/page'>some text"
