storing to db via form + optional image upload

[jogol]

hi experts,

i am referring to this thread by bokeh entitled "How to: Upload images using PHP".

i want to achieve a solution where one can add a news item to a mysql db and optionally attach a picture too.

so i modified the upload.form.php and added 2 more form fields: "headline" and "text".

next i edited upload.processor.php so that additionally the values of the fields "headline" and "text" as well as the location of the uploaded image on the server get stored in a mysql table.

that works perfectly as long as there is a picture attached and it doesn´t exceed the $max_file_size.

since i want to make the image upload optional i tried some if-else statements in upload.processor.php to avoid getting errors when there is no pic attached.

no surprise to me that none of my attempts worked so i´m kindly asking for your help to achieve something like this:

PHP Code:

if (there was a picture selected in upload.form.php) {
// ...do what bokeh´s original script does (including error checking) + store info in db...
} else {
// ...only store the values of the fields "headline" and "text" into the db and ignore that an image is missing...


my problem is to find the right if-statement. i tried if (strlen($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name']) > 1) but then i don´t get any error msg when max file size is exceeded.

any ideas?

thanks in advance,
jogol

PHP Code:

if($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] !== 0)
{
    // no image was uploaded
}
