Question

I am trying to upload a pdf file using fileupload() function in php. This works great when no session is used but gives an error with session.

This is how I defined a session:

 session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
$name=$_SESSION['name'];
$_SESSION['name']=$name;

and here is the fileupload() function:

function fileupload()
{
$corname = $_POST['corname'];
 define ("FILEREPOSITORY","./upload");

$filename = './upload/'.$corname.'.pdf';
//echo $filename;

   if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) 
   {

      if ($_FILES['file']['type'] != "application/pdf") 
      {
         echo "<p>Class notes must be uploaded in PDF format.</p>";
      } 


     else if(file_exists($filename))
        {
      echo "already exist";
       }

        else 
      {
         //$name = $_POST['corname'];
         $result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], FILEREPOSITORY."/$corname.pdf");
         if ($result == 1) 
            {echo "<p>File successfully uploaded.</p>";
            $cata=$_POST['cata'];
$subcata=$_POST['subcata'];
$corname = $_POST['corname'];
$heading=$_POST['headng'];
$descrip=$_POST['descrip'];
$cno=$_POST['cno'];
$credit=$_POST['credit'];
$fee=$_POST['fee'];
            $qry="insert into course (catagory,subcatagory,courseno,coursename,heading,description,credit,fee,coursefilename) values ('$cata','$subcata','$cno','$corname','$heading','$descrip','$credit','$fee','$corname')";
$ins_qry=mysql_query($qry);
if($ins_qry)
{
echo "Successfully Inserted<br>";
}
else
{
echo mysql_error();
}}
         else {echo "<p>There was a problem uploading the file.</p>";}
       } #endIF
   } #endIF

}}

This is the error message I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function fileupload() in
C:\wamp\www…\course_submit_process.php on
line 66

I have checked everything for some error but can’t reach for any solution. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You didn’t include the file that has the fileupload() method in it.

So on top of course_submit_process.php:

include "file_containing_fileupload()";
