Good day everyone! I am using Dropzone Js to upload multiple files into a different table during registration. However I couldn't make the upload and registration to work at the same time. Most Dropzone tutorial code that I see online are using mysqli while I'm using PDO making it hard to integrate in to my code. I need to save the details of the user to a table while saving the files they uploaded to a different table together with the coopID as a foreign key.
I've tried using Dropzone Js to upload multiple files easily and I also use the php PDO function lastInsertID() to get the coopID of the user.
<?php
include_once 'coop_functions.php';
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['loggedUser'])) {
header("Location: coop_dashboard.php");
}
$errorList = NULL;
$firstName = "";
$lastName = "";
$coopName = "";
$userName = "";
$email = "";
$regNumber = "";
$coopNumber = "";
$address = "";
$contact = "";
$contact2 = "";
$city = "";
$status = "";
$coopType = "";
$photo = "";
// this code works but it doesn't save the coopID of the user
// if I put it inside if(isset($_POST['register'])) it doesn't work
if (! empty($_FILES)) {
$imagePath = isset($_FILES["file"]["name"]) ? $_FILES["file"]["name"] : "Undefined";
$targetPath = "uploads/";
$imagePath = $targetPath . $imagePath;
$tempFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$targetFile = $targetPath . $_FILES['file']['name'];
recordUpload($tempFile, $targetFile);
}
if (!empty($_GET["action"]) && $_GET["action"] == "save") {
require_once ("dbconfig.php");
print $sql = "INSERT INTO upload (photo) VALUES ('. $imagePath .')";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$current_id = mysqli_insert_id($conn);
}
if(isset($_POST['register'])) {
$firstName = $_POST['firstName'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastName'];
$coopName = $_POST['coopName'];
$userName = $_POST['userName'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$regNumber = $_POST['regNumber'];
$coopNumber = $_POST['coopNumber'];

$targetPath = "uploads/";
$imagePath = $targetPath . $imagePath;
$tempFile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$targetFile = $targetPath . $_FILES['file']['name'];
$errorList = registerValidateInput($firstName, $lastName, $coopName, $userName, $email, $regNumber, $coopNumber,
$address, $contact, $contact2, $city, $status, $coopType, $_POST['password'], $_POST['confirmPassword']);
if($errorList == NULL)

$detail = "$firstName $lastName registered into the system.";
recordAudit($connection, $coopID, 1, $detail);
recordUpload($connection, $coopID);
}
catch (PDOException $exception)
{
die("Error: " . $exception->getMessage());
}
}
There is no error message it's just not working the way intend it. After registering either the coopID is save to the database but no upload files or files are uploaded but no coopID. I am beginner in PHP any help is appreciated thank you.
