vb.org Archive - Blank page instead of error message, any advice to fix this?

I don't know if anybody here can help me with this, but I paid a programmer to develop a custom vBulletin add-on and he has left me with a product that has a few bugs and no support.

It's a member photography portfolio system that allows members to upload images to their own portfolio. The system is searchable by specialities, nearest major city, etc, and I can set image upload limits for each user group. When a member exceeds the limit they are supposed to receive an error message, but instead they are getting a blank page.

I didn't write the code and I'm not a programmer, but I found the section of the php file that refers to image uploads and the "portfolio_directory_maximages" error message. I'm kind of hoping that maybe it is something simple like a missing bracket, semi-colon, or something like that.

Here's the code and if anybody could have a look at it to see if everything looks alright I'd really appreciate it. Thanks very much.

PHP Code:


		
			
// Begin uploading image

        if(!empty($_FILES['userfile']["name"])){

        

                    // Count total images

                    $total_images = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT count(imageid) AS total FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "portfolio_directory_uploads

                                                    WHERE portfolioid = " . $vbulletin->GPC['portfolio_id'] . "

                                            ");

                        // Have they uploaded to many images already?

                        if($total_images[total] > $vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['portfolio_directory_image_limit']){

                            eval(standard_error(fetch_error('portfolio_directory_maximages',$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['portfolio_directory_image_limit'])));                            

                        }

                    

                    // Get Image Upload Functions

                    require_once('./portfolio_directory/functions_portfolio_directory_upload.php');

                    $image= basename($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'].$ext);

        }

        

        // Update Portfolio

        $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "portfolio_directory_portfolio

                                    WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . "

                                ");

        

                if(!empty($_FILES['userfile']["name"])){

                    // Save New Image

                    $db->query_write("INSERT " . TABLE_PREFIX . "portfolio_directory_uploads

                        SET image = '$image',

                        image_title = '$image_title',

                        portfolioid = " . $portfolio_id . "                    

                    ");

                }



// Redirect user

$vbulletin->url="portfolio_directory.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=manage_portfolio&userid=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . "";

 eval(print_standard_redirect('portfolio_directory_portfolio_added'));

}
