Question

I have an error inserting some content in a Postgresql Database when I don’t attach any file. I have a form with some inputs that I insert in one table and one input to upload multiple files and some info to other table.

The error with empty upload input:

Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\arn\upload.php on line 60

LINE 60: $sth = $dbh->prepare(“INSERT INTO arn_info (arn , modelos , familias , problema , solucao) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? )”);

MY FORM:

<?php
$sth = $dbh->query("SELECT * FROM arn_info");

    $sth->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

    if($sth){
        $row = $sth->fetch();

        echo '<form method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >';
        echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" />';
        echo 'ARN: <input type="text" name="arn" /><br />';
        echo 'Familias: <input type="text" name="familias" /> <br />';
        echo 'Problema: <textarea class="tinymce" name="problema" cols="30" rows="10">';
        echo '</textarea>';
        echo 'Solução: <textarea class="tinymce" name="solucao" cols="30" rows="10">';
        echo '</textarea>';

        echo '<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">';
        echo 'Anexos: <input name="userfile[]" type="file" class="multi" id="userfile">';

        echo '<input name="upload" type="submit" class="box" id="upload" value="ADD ARN">';
        echo '</form>';

     }
?>

MY UPLOAD AND INSERT PHP:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{
    $uploadDir = 'uploads/';

    $fileArn = $_POST['arn'];
    $id = $_POST['id'];
    $arn = $_POST['arn'];
    $modelos = $_POST['modelos'];
    $familias = $_POST['familias'];
    $problema = $_POST['problema'];
    $solucao = $_POST['solucao'];

    foreach ($_FILES["userfile"]["error"] as $key => $error)
    {      
        if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
        {           
            $fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'][$key];
            $tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$key];
            $fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'][$key];
            $fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'][$key];

            $folderName = $_POST['arn'] . "/";

            if (!file_exists ( $uploadDir . $folderName )) {
            $arnFolder = mkdir($uploadDir . $folderName, 0777);
            }

            $filePath = $uploadDir . $folderName  . basename($fileName);

            $result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);

            if (!$result) {
            echo "Error adding Files";
            exit;
            }

            include 'includes/connection.php';

            $fileName = addslashes($fileName);
            $filePath = addslashes($filePath);

            if (!file_exists ($fileName)) {

            $info = array ($fileName , $fileSize , $fileType , $filePath , $fileArn );

            $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO upload2 (name, size, type, path , id_arn ) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? )");
            $sth->execute($info);
            }
        }

        } //END OF LOOP

        $parametros = array($arn,$modelos,$familias,$problema,$solucao);

        $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO arn_info (arn , modelos , familias , problema , solucao) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? )");

        $sth->execute($parametros); 

        if($sth){
            header("location: admin.php?inserted=1");
        }
}
?>

IF I Attach One or More Files All Works Fine !

Thanks

My bad, the above is good general advice, but not the cause of your issue. The issue is caused by the fact that you include the connection inside the loop which will never be executed if there are no file uploads. Here’s the fix:

<?php

include 'includes/connection.php';

if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{
    $uploadDir = 'uploads/';

    $fileArn = $_POST['arn'];
    $id = $_POST['id'];
    $arn = $_POST['arn'];
    $modelos = $_POST['modelos'];
    $familias = $_POST['familias'];
    $problema = $_POST['problema'];
    $solucao = $_POST['solucao'];

    foreach ($_FILES["userfile"]["error"] as $key => $error)
    {      
        if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
        {           
            $fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'][$key];
            $tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$key];
            $fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'][$key];
            $fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'][$key];

            $folderName = $_POST['arn'] . "/";

            if (!file_exists ( $uploadDir . $folderName )) {
            $arnFolder = mkdir($uploadDir . $folderName, 0777);
            }

            $filePath = $uploadDir . $folderName  . basename($fileName);

            $result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);

            if (!$result) {
            echo "Error adding Files";
            exit;
            }

            $fileName = addslashes($fileName);
            $filePath = addslashes($filePath);

            if (!file_exists ($fileName)) {

            $info = array ($fileName , $fileSize , $fileType , $filePath , $fileArn );

            $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO upload2 (name, size, type, path , id_arn ) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? )");
            $sth->execute($info);
            }
        }

        } //END OF LOOP

        $parametros = array($arn,$modelos,$familias,$problema,$solucao);

        $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO arn_info (arn , modelos , familias , problema , solucao) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? )");

        $sth->execute($parametros); 

        if($sth){
            header("location: admin.php?inserted=1");
        }
}
?>
