if (!isset($_POST["photo"])) {
                $target_dir = "ProfilePics/";
                $target_file = $target_dir.strtolower($_SESSION['username']).'.jpg';
                $imageFileType = $ext = pathinfo($_FILES["photo"]["name"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
                echo $imageFileType;
                if ($imageFileType == "jpg" or $imageFileType== "jpeg" or $imageFileType== "png") {
                    echo $target_file.'<br>';
                    echo $_FILES["photo"]["name"].'<br>';
                    if (copy($_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
                        echo "Moved <br>";
                    }
                }
            }

This is my Upload script

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                                            <input type="file" class="form-control" name="photo" id="photo">
                                            <img src="/ProfilePics/'.strtolower($_SESSION['username']).'.jpg" alt="Circle Image" class="img-circle img-responsive img-raised" rel="tooltip" title="Click to change picture">
                                        </form>

This is my Form

$_FILES[“photo”] is empty I don’t know why, website URL is craftycorpx.rf.gd
I am new to PHP

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                                            <input type="file" class="form-control" name="photo" id="photo">
                                            <img src="/ProfilePics/'.strtolower($_SESSION['username']).'.jpg" alt="Circle Image" class="img-circle img-responsive img-raised" rel="tooltip" title="Click to change picture">
                                        </form>

Here is the Form

if (!isset($_POST["photo"])) {
                $target_dir = "ProfilePics/";
                $target_file = $target_dir.strtolower($_SESSION['username']).'.jpg';
                $imageFileType = $ext = pathinfo($_FILES["photo"]["name"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
                echo $imageFileType;
                if ($imageFileType == "jpg" or $imageFileType== "jpeg" or $imageFileType== "png") {
                    echo $target_file.'<br>';
                    echo $_FILES["photo"]["name"].'<br>';
                    if (copy($_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
                        echo "Moved <br>";
                    }
                }
            }

Here is the PHP upload script

Are you uploading a valid image according to the code? It should be a .jpg, .jpeg, or a .png extension.

I’m a bit confused by this line:

if (!isset($_POST["photo"])) {

So you want to trigger the form if the value is NOT set? Shouldn’t you trigger the upload script if the file is set?

oh thanks didn’t realise there was an !

Still didn’t work

You mean you change it and it doesn’t work? Has it been validated yet? Plus the target directory should not be ProfilePics/ it should be /ProfilePics/ or ./ProfilePics/ .

8

This is a relative url and url is different than path. PHP looks for path not url.

It should be __DIR__.'/ProfilePics/'.

Umm . . . how is your form being submitted? I don’t see a submit button.
