Php Image

[buharyahmad59]

I want to use an image in a page using php/mysql. I wanted to use a default image just like what takes place in facebook. The image will be by default to all users and when a user uploads an image will view the image he uploads.
can someone help me build something like this using php/mysq
Thanks

I'm confused as to what you mean, and I suspect by the lack of replies that other people are, too. Could you explain again, in more detail and a bit clearer, please?

I think he means something like this:

User A registers.
User A gets default avatar.
User A uploads new avatar.
User A displays new avatar.

User B registers.
User B gets default avatar.
User B displays default avatar.

Maybe?

Anyway, you can do a check to see if the custom avatar exists. Something like:

$avatar_url = '/path/to/avatar.png';
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    if($row['avatar'] != 'default')
        $avatar_url = $row['avatar'];
}

In the DB, `avatar` should be a VARCHAR long enough for your paths that defaults to 'default'.

If you need help with uploads, see this: http://tinyurl.com/n9ekn4

Nah, not like that.

In the table for the user, have an 'image' field. When they first register, set it to blank.png, and in images/avatars/, have blank.jpg. Then when they upload new images, save it in images/avatars/ and update their entry in the database so that it points at the new image.

Do you know how to upload images using php?

[callumacrae]

You want me to do it for you?! Nahh.

I'll tell you HOW to do it, but I won't do it for you. You won't learn if you expect everyone else to do it for you ;)

First off, what are you actually trying to do? I could do with more information if I'm going to help you.

I said all i could. I need a tutorial that will guide me on how to create the image uploader and how it works. Simple i dont need it to be done for me as i wont be competent enough to come up with good applications

Thanks

[callumacrae]

What context do you need it in? Are you making an image uploader, a display picture thing, or what?

~Callum

[kauranamoda]

Yes! I am making an image uploader which will be used first then a display picture which will be after uploading the image.

Thanks once more

This kind of script is against the ToS, are you hosting it on x10hosting?
