Question

I want to get this image uploading script right, but for whatever reason it doesn’t like the description input. It was working perfectly before I added the description input and I can’t think of what might be wrong because it looks fine. My code doesn’t like the description input in the form, what is wrong? Thanks for the help!

HTML Form

<h1>Image Gallery</h1>  
 <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
 Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
 Description: <textarea maxlength="255" name="description" id="description"></textarea><br />
 <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form> 

PHP Code (There is code before this but it doesn’t matter)

$userid = mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['UserID']);  
$imageid = mysql_real_escape_string($i);  
$image = mysql_real_escape_string($rename); 
$description = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description']); 
$registerquery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO imageupload (UserID, ImageID, Image, Description) VALUES('".$userid."', '".$imageid."', '".$image."', '".$description."')");  
 if($registerquery) {  
  header( 'Location: manage.php' ) ;
 }  
 else {  
  echo "<h1>Error</h1>";  
  echo "<p>Sorry, an error occured. Please go back and try again.</p>";  
 }

What datatype is the column for description?

Replace your current query with:

$description = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['description']))); 
$register = "INSERT INTO imageupload (UserID, ImageID, Image, Description) VALUES('$userid', '$imageid', '$image', '$description')";

$registerquery = mysql_query($register) or die (mysql_error()); 


 if($registerquery) {  
  header( 'Location: manage.php' ) ;
 }  

 else {  
  echo "<h1>Error</h1>";  
  echo "<p>Sorry, an error occured. Please go back and try again.</p>";  
 }
