File uploads are already integrated into zencart
i.e.

Hi, I am looking for the correct code to execute the following pseudocode:

If [Customer Logged In] then
<Display File Upload Form>
Else
<echo 'You must log in first to upload files to us'>
<echo 'Please log in or register for a new account'>
End if

I can fill in the code for the form, but if someone can help me with the conditional if statement in PHP I would appreciate it.

Second part:
In the PHP I want to write the entries in the form for which I will execute the "POST_" statement. How do I query the database since the customer is already logged in? Sample statement would be helpful. Basically what I want to do is post name of file, file size, file description, customer ID, date posted to a table I am going to create in the database.

I want admin notification as soon as new files are uploaded, so how would I execute a sendmail to notify me with information as shown above?

The value for:
$_SESSION['customer_id']

will be greater than 0 ...

Now where do I get the example of how to use that?

Looking for a more complete answer. Trying to figure out how to get it to work on define_page_7.php edited through Notepad++. Don't mean to say that I don't appreciate that, but I keep getting incomplete answers and can't find it in the manual I purchased.

Basically, my project is an upload page that you have to be logged in to see.

Not quite...assumes uploading as a product feature. I am looking for one that uploads witout all that confusing methodology. One I don't have to create a product to get to it, but a page that a developer can upload files for be downloadable.

I am not sure what all you need for what you are doing, but the basic format of the IF would be:

if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] == 0) {
  // login stuff here
} else {
  // do something here
}

What I am trying to do, is implement my Page_7 as a file uploader where:

If customer is logged in then:

DISPLAY UPLOADER FORM HTML

Else

ECHO "You must be logged in to upload files."
Endif

Still having a hard time figuring out the syntax when you have mixed PHP and XHTML script going.

There is a better way ...

If you add to your header_php.php file for the:
/includes/modules/pages/page_7.php

if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
}

It will force the customer to be logged in or take them to the login pages and then return to page_7 when done ...

Look at how the:
/includes/modules/pages/account/header_php.php

is doing this, as an example, and how it behaves when logged in or not ...

This works. Now, I can't figure out the form action parameter. Below is the line of code I am referring to. How do I get it to refer to the current page without running into the permissions error?

<form action="/define_page_7.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="upload" method="post">
