Here is the site.

I have the submit page, and a form action to a page that queries the submission info into my database. I’ll include that code below. What I want to do, is have it create an individual page for each submission. However, I’m getting tons of errors when I try to upload. It uploads but it definitely doesn’t create new page. the I have a template form which I’ll show you, but first, here’s the upload page:

<?php
// For use in creating individual page
$tpl_file = "submission.php";
$tpl_path = "/~lyons/templates/";
$submissions_path = "/~lyons/submissions";


// For use in querying submitter name

$username = $_GET['username'];
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $username; 

//Database Information

$dbhost = "";
$dbname = "";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";

//Connect to database

mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());


$name = $_POST['name'];
$filename = $_POST['filename'];   
$submitter = $username;
list($width, $height) = getimagesize("$filename");
$type = exif_imagetype($_POST['filename']);

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT filename FROM images WHERE filename='$filename'");

$filename_exist = mysql_num_rows($checkuser);

if($filename_exist > 0){
    echo "I'm sorry but this image has already been submitted. Please feel free to try another.";
    unset($filename);
    include 'upload.php';
    exit();
}


if (exif_imagetype($_POST['filename']) == IMAGETYPE_GIF) {
    echo "Sorry, but we can't accept GIFs. Please feel free to try uploading another.";
    unset($filename);
    include 'upload.php';
    exit();
}



$query = "INSERT INTO images (name, filename, submitter, width, height, type)
VALUES('$name', '$filename', '$submitter', '$width', '$height', $type)";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close();

echo "Thanks for your submission!<br/> Upload another <a href='/~lyons/upload.php'>here</a>!";

$placeholders = array("{name}", "{filename}", "{username}");
$tpl = file_get_contents($tpl_path.$tpl_file);
$new_member_file = str_replace($placeholders, $data, $tpl);
$php_file_name = $username.".php";

$fp = fopen($submissions_path.$php_file_name, "w");
fwrite($fp, $new_submission_file);
fclose($fp); 
?>

And here’s the template file (submission.php)

<html>
<title>{name}</title>
<head>
</head>

<body>
<h1>{name}</h1>
Posted by: {username}
<br/>
<img src="{filename}"/>

</body>
</html>

    It looks like you might have a path issue. When you use the path “/~lyons” you may not be pointing to the directory you want. Try making the changes below:

    // For use in creating individual page
$tpl_file = "submission.php";
//$tpl_path = "/~lyons/templates/";
$tpl_path = "templates/";

    And then please post the new error message(s), if any.
