PHP - Preview Uploaded Files

hi everyone

i am currently making my website with an uploadform. The upload function is working, but now i am trying to make the site remember the last 5 uploads. The filenames should appear in an array:
$aotf[0]
$aotf[1]
$aotf[2]
$aotf[3]
$aotf[4]
and since all files that can be/are uploaded are images, i want them to be drawed next to each other, each 128x128. THAT is working, but the fetch for images doesn't. When an image is uploaded, i execute this code:
    $readhandle=fopen("uploaddb.log","r");
    $aotf=fread($handle,filesize("uploaddb.log"));
    fclose($readhandle);
    $writehandle=fopen("uploaddb.log","w");
    fwrite($writehandle,"$aotf\r\n" . "uploadform/gebruikers/" . $naam);
    fclose($writehandle);
then,there is some html code, and then there is this code:

$aotf=explode("/n",$aotf);
for($i = count($aotf) - 5; $i <= count($aotf); $i++) {
echo ' <img src="'. $aotf[$i] . '" width="128" height="128"> ';
}

when i open the page, all img src's are empty. The writing works, and the folder of the image is 7777 chmod and the images draw on the screen, but not as the last uploaded. Does anyone know how to make this work? maybe even without a fwrite?


Thank you,

masterens

EDIT: i cannot use mysql

Hi

Basically I've built a CMS where by my clients can upload a number of images. On the success page I want to display the images they uploaded by file name.

The issue is the number of images can vary. They may upload 2 or 10 or 50 etc.

So far I've come up with this:

Code: [Select]
// number of files
$UN = 3; //I've set this to 3 for now, but this is passed from the upload page!

// server directories and directory names
$dir = '../properties';

$images = glob($dir.'/*.{jpg}', GLOB_BRACE); //formats to look for

$num_of_files = $UN; //number of images to display from number of uploaded files

foreach($images as $image)
{
$num_of_files--;

$newest_mtime = 0;
$image = 'BROKEN';
if ($handle = @opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (($file != '.') && ($file != '..')) {
$mtime = filemtime("$dir/$file");
if ($mtime > $newest_mtime) {
$newest_mtime = $mtime;
$image = "$file";
}
}
}
}

if($num_of_files > -1) //this made me laugh when I wrote it
echo $trimmed = ltrim($image, "../properties").'<br />'; //display images
else
break;
}
Without this piece of code:

Code: [Select]
$newest_mtime = 0;
$image = 'BROKEN';
if ($handle = @opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (($file != '.') && ($file != '..')) {
$mtime = filemtime("$dir/$file");
if ($mtime > $newest_mtime) {
$newest_mtime = $mtime;
$image = "$file";
}
}
}
}
It shows the first 3 files alphabetically. I want to view the last number of images added.

With the above code it simply shows the last image added 3 times!

So I need to get the time each image was added and then order by the newest added and limit to the number of images uploaded. Any suggestions please?

Kindest regards
Glynn

Hi,

I have a question.

Can I actually use windows hosting on .php files, or .php files are only suitable to linux domain?

Currently I am practicing some php files in the windows domain and I have received a message stated 'no database selected'. However I have definitely created the database, are there any other reasons which may cause this problem? Thanks

<?php
         echo '<select name="race" id="race">
         <option value="">--Please select one--</option>';
   
         $dbc = mysql_connect(111', '111', '111', '111')
         or die(mysql_error());
         $query = ("SELECT * FROM race ORDER BY race_id ASC");
         $sql = mysql_query($query, $dbc)
         or die(mysql_error());
      
            while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
               echo'<option value="'.$data['race_id'].'">'.$data['race_name'].'</option>';
            }
         echo '</select><br/>';
   
         mysql_close($dbc);    ?>

Hi,

I have limited experience of using PHP, but having done some searching around it would seem that it is possible to convert audio files that are uploaded through a web page to mp3 using ffmpeg. The audio files would be uploaded using the Uploadify script to subfolders that are named according to the user's login.

I would need the PHP script to be able to process all audio files that are either not in MP3 format, or are in MP3 format but greater than 192kbps, deleting the original file after the conversion. Am I right in thinking that this could be achieved using PHP, and if so, can anyone get me started with some code, or a link to a webpage with some code?

Also, I am currently using Hostpapa for hosting my website, and I understand that they don't include ffmpeg, and also don't allow ssh. I read on one website that I could still install a compiled version of ffmpeg on a shared server, but I am not sure if this means that it would work on Hostpapa, or whether I would need to change my host to get ffmpeg working.

Any advice on any of this would be welcome!

Thanks,

Nick

show list of files uploaded by current session user to the database. I want to show different users when they log in to the website...they can see a list of old files that they have uploaded. can anyone tell me the code/script to this.....please, ty

Is there any way to generate a small image of the 1st page of a pdf document without using a 3rd party like imagemagic.

The site is hosted a register.com so I am thinking I am going to be limited to the basic php functions.

Hi, im trying to figure out how to have a form preview something next to the form depending on what options have been selected on a form. So let me explain better what i mean.

I want to create a form which is for customers to create a custom product (in this case a nameplate).

The options could be something like;
letters (what word they want)
font type: [few different font names here]
font size: [small, medium, large]
color: ...

So if the customer typed in 'name' in the letters field then it would be displayed in the preview box

If the customer then selected a font type, the change would then be reflected in the preview box.. and so on.

I hope you understand what i trying to explain. I can just about handle creating the form but i don't know how to have it display what options have been chosen. If this is too much effort would it just be easier to submit this form and then display the data? or is it not too complicated to have it display on the same form before you submit it?

I would prefer it displayed on the same page

Thanks for any help.

so I have this code.......

and basically what I want to do is pull content from a database that I have so that like the first 100 words will display under the link before it is clicked.........is there a way to do this? 

<?php
$files=glob('apk/*');
foreach( $files as $file)
{ echo '<img scr="'.$file.'">'.basename($file).'</img><br/>';

}

?>

I added the ability for Users to "preview" their Comments before submitting them.

I just realized that when they click "Preview" that their Comments appear above the Comments form box - similar to how PHPFreaks works - but that the Comments form box loses it's data since the page reload causes this to lose things...

<li>
<label for="comments">Comments:</label>
<textarea id="comments" name="comments" cols="50" rows="15"><?php if (isset($comments)){echo nl2br(htmlentities($comments, ENT_QUOTES));} ?></textarea>

<?php
if (!empty($errors['comments'])){
echo '<span class="error">' . $errors['comments'] . '</span>';
}
?>
</li>

What is the easiest way to maintain form persistence?  (I really would like to avoid having to store things in my database during the preview.)

How does PHPFreaks do things?

I was going to use a SESSION, but since this is a Comments field that can take up to 65,535 characters, that probably won't work?!

Any ideas?

my issue is to show preview of a form. the form will have a fck editor  . this form is used to update a table. i need to show a preview button on this page and when we click on it  should show the preview of the content. i am attaching my code. my problem is this is a update page fck value is taken from Dn "$desc" . when do some changes on editor then i click on preview button should show the changes, here showing only the $dec value from DB not the value i change.

I have just completed a modest way for Users to post Comments on Articles my website.

However, the thought occurred to me today, that I haven't given Users the ability to Preview or Edit their comments after submittal.

What is the best way to store info on a Comments Form so you can re-display it for Preview/Editing??  (I'm not really sure how the workflow would work for this?!)

Do I capture the Comments Form Data and store it in a Session?  Or in my Database?  Or do something else?

Security is always a concern of mine too!!

Thanks,


Debbie

So far I have managed to create an upload process which uploads a picture, updates the database on file location and then tries to upload the db a 2nd time to update the Thumbnails file location (i tried updating the thumbnails location in one go and for some reason this causes failure)

But the main problem is that it doesn't upload some files

Here is my upload.php

<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';

$statusMsg = '';

$Title = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['Title']) ; 
$BodyText = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['ThreadBody']) ; 
	 

// File upload path
$targetDir = "upload/";
$fileName = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$targetFilePath = $targetDir . $fileName;
$fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$Thumbnail = "upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'";

if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && !empty($_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    // Allow certain file formats
    $allowTypes = array('jpg','png','jpeg','gif','pdf', "webm", "mp4");
    if(in_array($fileType, $allowTypes)){

        // Upload file to server
        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath)){

            // Insert image file name into database
            $insert = $conn->query("INSERT into Threads (Title, ThreadBody, filename) VALUES ('$Title', '$BodyText', '$fileName')");
            if($insert){
               $statusMsg = "The file ".$fileName. " has been uploaded successfully."; 

		$targetFilePathArg = escapeshellarg($targetFilePath);
		$output=null;
		$retval=null;
		 //exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 300x200 ./upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'", $output, $retval);
		 exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 200x200 $Thumbnail", $output, $retval);
		echo "REturned with status $retval and output:\n" ; 
		if ($retval == null) { 
		echo "Retval is null\n" ;
		echo "Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail\n" ; 
		}

            }else{
                $statusMsg = "File upload failed, please try again.";
            } 
        }else{
            $statusMsg = "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
        }
    }else{
        $statusMsg = 'Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, mp4, webm & PDF files are allowed to upload.';
    }
}else{
    $statusMsg = 'Please select a file to upload.';
}

//Update SQL db by setting the thumbnail column to equal $Thumbnail
$update = $conn->query("update Threads set thumbnail = '$Thumbnail' where filename = '$fileName'");
            if($update){
               $statusMsg = "Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.";
		echo $statusMsg ;  } 
else 
{ echo "\n Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail" ; } 


// Display status message
echo $statusMsg;
?>

And this does work on most files however it is not working on a 9.9mb png file  which is named "test.png" I tested on another 3.3 mb gif file and that failed too?

For some reason it returns the following

Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.

Whereas on the files it works on it returns

REturned with status 0 and output: Retval is null Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif' Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif'The file rainbow-trh-stache.gif has been uploaded successfully.

Any idea on why this is?

Hello


I have a simple question about file handling...


Is it possible to list all files in directories / subdirectories, and then read ALL files in those dirs,
and put the content of their file into an array?

Like this:

array:
[SomePath/test.php] = "All In this php file is being read by a new smart function!";
[SomePath/Weird/hello.txt = "Hello world. This is me and im just trying to get some help!";

and so on, until no further files exists in that rootdir.

All my attempts went totally crazy and none of them works... therefore i need to ask you for help.


Do you have any ideas how to do this?
If so, how can I be able to do it?


Thanks in Advance, pros
