Image upload script not working

I have made a student management system which is working perfectly fine on my local machine(using WAMP Server) but when i host it, it doesn't work properly. I am trying to store student details in a database. Every detail except image path is being stored. Using wamp server its working, but it does not work when i host it.

I also tried using whole path including domain name, folder but it doesn't help.

Following is a code snippet:-

if ($_POST['submit']) 
	{
		
		include 'db_connect.php';	
		$file=$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
	$image= addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));
	$image_name= addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
			
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"],"photos/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"]);
			
			$location="photos/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"];
					
			

		$matric = $_POST['matric'];
$name   = $_POST['name'];
$sem=$_POST['sem'];
$sex=$_POST['sex'];
$tel=$_POST['tel'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
$data = $_POST['picture'];
$course = $_POST['course'];	
		
		$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($picture, "r"), filesize($picture)));

		$pjpeg="image/pjpeg";
		$jpeg="image/jpeg";
		$gif="image/gif";
		$png="image/png";
		$bmp="image/bmp";

		if ($picture_type == $pjpeg OR $picture_type == $jpg OR $picture_type == $gif OR $picture_type == $png OR $picture_type == $bmp)
		{
		
		$sql="INSERT INTO info (matric, name, course, sem, sex, tel, address ,location)
			VALUES ('$matric', '$name', '$course', '$sem', '$sex', '$tel', '$address', '$location')";
		$result=mysql_query($sql);

PHP:

 

One more thing, i just saw my free hosting php config. There is a line:-

File Uploads file_uploads Whether to allow HTTP file uploads. Off

Is it because of this only ?

 

learn how to debug.

place this code after the first {

print_r($_FILES);exit;

PHP:

then review the output and look up what the output means. especially the error bit

 

Output is Array(). What does that mean ?

 

that means that that no file has actually been sent.

make sure that your form tag has this parameter in it enctype="multipart/form-data"

ie

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Code (markup):

 

This is my form code's first line:-

<form method="post" action="student_form.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" name='s' onsubmit='return validated()';>

@stephan

file_uploads has been set to off in php config. Its a free hosting. I cannot change it. Is that the reason why its not working ?

 

yeah that's probably why.

 

@Stephan

I have signed up in another website providing free hosting. I have uploaded the script. But in the new free hosting service, even the "insert into" statement is not working. Does all the free hosting services have limited php support. ?

Any other free hosting service which provides full php support ?

Thanks for help

 

yeah pretty much all of the free hosts have limitations.

what are you trying to do? maybe it is better to try it on your own computer ( install xampp or similar )

 

Yes, i have WAMP installed on my machine. Its awesome. But this is my college project, i am supposed to host it somewhere and submit the link. Web hosting is a must requirement and i dont want to remove "file upload" feature.

 

try these guys www[DOT]000webhost[DOT]com.

I don't trust them though so don't upload any sensitive data.
