Solution 1

If a file was not uploaded the $_FILES array will be empty. Specifically, if the file image was not uploaded, $_FILES['image'] will not be set.

So

$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];   //Error comes from here(here is the prob!)

should be:

if(empty($_FILES) || !isset($_FILES['image']))

update

You will also have issues because you're missing the enctype attribute on your form:

<form class="form-horizontal" action="Ressave.php" method="POST" autocomplete="on" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Solution 2

In order to be able to process files in your form you need to add the enctype attribute.

<form method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data' >

the error is Array ( ) Please Choose an Image. Notice: Undefined variable: image in C:\xampp\htdocs\Final\places\Ressave.php on line 64

[Admin]

my same code will work other place but it is not working in this part of my code

@EniGma Whether it makes a difference or not, it must be in your form.

[Funk Forty Niner]

@JohnConde I'm starting to wonder whether the OP wants a simple reference to an uploaded file, or if the OP wants the file uploaded to an actual folder. (using move_uploaded_file) which is not in the OP's code.

[Admin]

when i use print_r($_POST['image']); it will show the name of the image like(winter.jpg)

[Funk Forty Niner]

@EniGma Look at my comment also, there's something about your if condition stackoverflow.com/questions/18747542/…

[Funk Forty Niner]

@EniGma What (exactly) works? What happened for it to suddenly work?

[Admin]

i use john's code (if(empty($_FILES) || !isset($_FILES['image']))) and i it worked...

[Funk Forty Niner]

@EniGma That's great, glad to hear it. Cheers

[Funk Forty Niner]

^--- that's for you @JohnConde (am sure) ;-)

[Admin]

that thanx was for you either ...:)
