How to upload image of product from front end in magento

Question

I'm trying to upload the image of the product in admin panel. It's working fine but now I want to upload the image of the product in front end.

I mean customer can upload the image of the product from the front end. So how this is possible?

Answer 1

First upload image in media/import

if(isset($_FILES['file']['name']) && $_FILES['file']['name'] != '') {
    $fileName       = $_FILES['file']['name'];
    $fileExt        = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fileName, "."), 1));
    $fileNamewoe    = rtrim($fileName, $fileExt);
    $fileName       = str_replace(' ', '', $fileNamewoe) . $fileExt;

    $uploader       = new Varien_File_Uploader('file');
    $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('png', 'jpg', 'jpeg')); //allowed extensions
    $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);
    $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
    $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import';
    if(!is_dir($path)){
        mkdir($path, 0777, true);
    }
    $uploader->save($path . DS, $fileName );
}

Now save product with uploaded image

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$product->setMediaGallery (array('images'=>array (), 'values'=>array ())) //media gallery initialization
$imagePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import/'. $fileName;
$product->addImageToMediaGallery($imagePath,array('image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail'),true,false);
$product->save();
