str_replace

I'm trying to make insert extensions and the file type they display. Using a form I want to make it easier.

So if someone submits:
<img src="LOCATION" />, LOCATION is replaced with $file

I'm using:

<?php
include("config.php");
if(isset($_POST['addextension'])) {

$code = $_POST['code'];
$type = $_POST['type'];


$code = str_replace("LOCATION", " . $file . ", $code);

@mysql_query("INSERT INTO `types` (code, type) VALUES ('" . $code . "', '" . $type . "')");

echo "Added";
}
?>

PHP:

Although $file is being ignored and only the dots are being inserted into the database, appreciate some help, thanks

 

Where is $file set? In config.php?

 

just concatinate file name and extentsion

$filename="google"
$modifiyfilename=$filename."txt";

ok

 

$code = str_replace("LOCATION", $file, $code);

Code (markup):

Is $file being set before you try to replace "LOCATION" in the $code string? It could be that $file is blank. echo the $file before the str_replace to make sure you set the varable $file.
