For a project I need to build some kind of auction platform using PHP for the backend. I am currently trying to upload images using PHP and then storing the url in the "Item" table in my sql database. I followed this tutorial for image uploading, however, I am not sure now how to connect it to my database now. My code for the image uploading looks as follows:
server > images > upload.php:
// Tutorial: https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp
500000) {
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats (JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF)
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
As mentioned I would like to retrieve the image url and store it in the "Item" table. I connected the database by building an API using this tutorial. So basically my "Item" model looks as follows: server > model > Item.php
conn = $db;
}
// read products
function read()
{
return p_Item_sel_all($this->conn);
}
// search products
function search($search)
{
return p_Item_search($this->conn,$search);
}
function create()
{
// TODO: Check that start date is in the future, and before the end date
// check reserver price is positive
// sanitize
$this->Name = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->Name));
$this->Description = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->Description));
$this->AuctionStart = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->AuctionStart));
$this->AuctionEnd = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->AuctionEnd));
$this->StartingPrice = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->StartingPrice));
$this->ReservePrice = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->ReservePrice));
$this->PhotoURL = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->PhotoURL));
$this->SellerID = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->SellerID));
// $this->created=htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($this->created));
if (p_Item_ins($this->conn, $this->Name, $this->Description, $this->AuctionStart, $this->AuctionEnd, $this->StartingPrice, $this->ReservePrice, $this->PhotoURL, $this->SellerID)) {
return true;
};
return false;
}
// used when filling up the update product form
function readOne()
{
$stmt = p_Item_sel_id($this->conn, $this->ID);
// get retrieved row
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
// set values to object properties
$this->ID = $row['ID '];
$this->Name = $row['Name '];
$this->Description = $row['Description '];
$this->AuctionStart = $row['AuctionStart '];
$this->AuctionEnd = $row['AuctionEnd '];
$this->AuctionFinished = $row['AuctionFinished '];
$this->StartingPrice = $row['StartingPrice '];
$this->ReservePrice = $row['ReservePrice '];
$this->FinalPrice = $row['FinalPrice '];
$this->PhotoURL = $row['PhotoURL '];
$this->SellerID = $row['SellerID '];
}
function increment_views()
{
return p_Item_incr_views($this->conn, $this->ID);
}
function update(){
// execute the query
if (p_Item_upd($this->conn, $this->ID, $this->Name, $this->Description, $this->AuctionStart, $this->AuctionEnd, $this->AuctionFinished, $this->StartingPrice, $this->ReservePrice, $this->FinalPrice, $this->PhotoURL, $this->SellerID)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
// delete the Item
function delete(){
// execute query
if(p_Item_del_id($this->conn, $this->ID)){
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
The functions (create, delete, read_one, read, search, update) are all in different files. The SQL queries are stored in sproc files. If needed, I can of course also include the code here.
This is probably quite a simple connection from upload to the database but as I am completely new to PHP with a tight project deadline, I would very much appreciate any help!
