Question

How is it possible to use old image if no image is selected?

its a profile page when someone updates his profile but don’t select the image for update then old image should be remained there..

should it be like this if-else statement or there would be some other way??

    //check if file is selected.
    if (empty($_FILES['profilepic']))
    {
                 //if file selected this code should run

         $fileselected="file selected";
    }
    else
    {
                //this executes if file not selected
        $fileselected="No File Has Been Selected";
    }

echo $fileselected;

How it should be coded??

Thanks to @Lion

if($_FILES["profilepic"]["error"])
{//if the file is not selected} 
else {//if the file is selected}

Pretty much works for me.. 🙂
