This is what I am trying to do. There may be an easier way.
1. Check to see picture is an acceptable image.
a. Check image, picture1, for extension jpg. There are actually 10
images and 5 extensions. But I just listed 1.
b. If the extension in not jpg, change background color to yellow.
c. This works well in
JavaScript --document.getElementById('pt1').style.backgroundCol or='#FFF9B9';
..
d. To test this , try test.php with a *.gif and *.jpg
2. If the file name is acceptable, check to see if the file size is less
than FILE_SIZE_MAX. I noticed, if the file size is greater than
FILE_SIZE_MAX, the program changes the file size to 0.
a. Create an error variable
b. Transfer the error variable to JavaScript
c. Use JavaScript to change the background to yellow.
d. Rewrite the original file name in the value for the input statement.
I created the following two files to experiment with the concept.
I cannot get the file > max to turn the background to yellow.
What am I doing wrong? I am somewhat new at PHP.
Thanks for the suggestions.
