Undefined Index Error in PHP Image Upload

Question

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this line of code? I am getting an error (yet the the page still functions properly despite the error)

Error:

"Notice: Undefined index: picture in C:\wamp\www\pplogin\members.php on line 180"

Here is the code:

179  $target = "user_images/fs/";
180  $target = $target . basename($_FILES['picture']['name']);

Like I said earlier despite the error the image gets uploaded to the destination and the image name is saved to my MySQL database.

I've been scratching my head for a while now...

Please `print_r($_FILES)`. – Dave Chen May 12 '13 at 01:48 — Dave Chen, May 12 '13 at 01:48

$target = !empty($_FILES['picture']['name']) ? $target.basename($_FILES['picture']['name']) : false;

Sam

This removed the error but now the image isn't saving to the destination or saving the path... – Dan Graves May 12 '13 at 01:54

Do you have check if $target isn't false when you do the upload? – Sam May 12 '13 at 01:55

A file with id

picture

doesn't exist.

Use

isset()

to make sure It's set.

You can also use the ternary operator:

$img = isset($_FILES['picture']) ? $_FILES['picture'] : null;

Or something like that :)
