PHP - Gathering Files, Defacing The Earth With Them

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?

I am using WPSQT plugin in my blog site .I code some files in PHP also.how to add that files in plugin files.  

lets say I own a file, and you own a file,  both these files are the exact same file, the only difference is the filename. So lets say we both have The Gimp 2.6 but one is named TG2.6.exe and the other is named the_Gimp-2.6.exe. What would be the best way to count the files that are the same even if they have a different file name? Another example would be:

I have a file called me.jpg and someone else has a file me.jpg but they are two completely different pictures. What would I do to tell that?

I have told that the php files I was working on contains BOM by default cause of the editor I m using. I have installed other editor that can create php files without BOM.

So my question is  what's the difference between 2 files, one with BOM and other without BOM ? Any problems I may face for long term usage ? Which one is better to use ?

Hey,

Trying to learn to generate PDF files, something apparently WAAAAYYY more complex than I thought. Can someone please give me an explanation on '$optlist' from this function.....

PDF_load_image  ( resource $pdfdoc  , string $imagetype  , string $filename  , string $optlist  )

What is it? PHP.net doesn't have any info at all.

Thanks,
IceKat.

BTW - Any (recent) tutorials or pages would be appreciated. Everything I find is out of date or doesn't work.

first of all...its good to see the site back .   my question guys is i'm wondering is there a way of getting the column number when reading a .cvs file? ie. a, b, c, d, aa, ab etc?

$row = 1;
if (($handle = fopen($file, "r")) !== FALSE) 
{
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) 
    {
        $num = count($data);
        echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
        $row++;
      
        for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) 
        {
            //echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
        }
    }
    
    fclose($handle);
}

now $num counts the columns...but i want to convert that into a alphabetical column...is there a easy solution?   thanks guys

Hello --

Other than organizational clarity for the developer, is there a particular advantage (e.g., security, file access speed, etc.) for placing web files (php, css, html, etc.) in various folders and sub-folders vs placing all files in the root directory or in one particular folder?

Thanks.

I am using xammp with FileZilla running on it. I've changed my php.ini  settings
to "C:/xxx/tmp" directory but am unable to upload a file. Th cod is  running but
it dos not seem to upload the temporary fil. Plase somebody help  me. ALso my form in upload.html  has <form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Can you include a file and append info to be grabbed by using GET?   For example, can you have an include file like this...

Code: [Select]
include('file.php?id=1');

And then in the file "file.php" I would use $_GET['id'] to do other things in the code.

I tried it and it's not working. I'm getting this error... "Warning: include(file.php?id=1) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in..."

Just want to find out if this should be doable before I continue testing why it's not working for me.

If it should work, should I be using something other than include maybe?  (like require or require_once?)

Hi Guys,
               I am relatively new to php, and have hit a problem.  Basically I am writing a PHP socket server - which acts as a socket server for a swish movie.  The only way of getting data into the swish movie is one function - loadvariablesnum() - which uses 'post' or 'get'.  The swish movie is a web GUI for a system and therefore needs a reasonably decent refresh rate - 5 times a second for example.  Originally I wrote a php file that created / bound / listened to the socket and then entered an infinite while loop that would read from the socket and echo the output to the swish movie.

The problem with this method, was that each time the swish movie called loadvariablesnum() the PHP script would re-open - re-bind - re-listen to the socket - which caused all sorts of problems for my client.  Therefore I decided to re-write the PHP file that included functions:

Code: [Select]
<?               //TCP_Socket_Server.php
global $output;

function TCP_Socket_Server()
{
$host = "10.10.13.59";
$port = 10000;
set_time_limit(0);
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create socket\n");
$result = socket_bind($socket, $host, $port);// or die("Could not bind to socket\n");
$result = socket_listen($socket, 3) or die("Could not set up socket listener\n");
socket_set_block($socket);
$spawn = socket_accept($socket) or die("Could not accept incoming connection\n");
// read client input
while(1)
{
$input = socket_read($spawn, 10000);// or die("Could not read input\n");
$input = trim($input);
global $output;
$output = $input;
WriteData();
flush();
}
socket_close($spawn);
socket_close($socket);
}

function WriteData()
{
static $LocalTemp;
global $output;
$LocalTemp = $output;
$TempBuffer = "&TCP_SocketServerBufferVar=";
//$TempBuffer .= $GLOBALS['output'];
$TempBuffer .= $LocalTemp;
echo $TempBuffer;
}
?>
Using this method I can call TCP_Socket_Server() only once at the beginning of the swish movie using the loadvariablesnum() (from another PHP file), which sets the server running - e.g.

Code: [Select]
<?    //Load_Server.php
include 'TCP_Socket_Server.php';
TCP_Socket_Server();
?>
My plan was to then call the WriteData() function regularly approximately 5x per second, (again from another PHP file using loadvariablesnum() in swish):

Code: [Select]
<?    //Write_Data.php
include 'TCP_Socket_Server.php';
Write_Data();
?>
However, when I call this function from an external PHP file - no valid data is output by echo - even though I can see the data being received (in the browser) in the main Load_Server.php page - which is output using the same Write_Data() function.
I have tried many different ways of accessing this variable ($output) from a different php file - e.g returning the variable from Write_Data() - which had the same result (i.e. no valid data).

I have also tried using sessions, but could only seem to get them to work in files that did not run indefinitely - e.g. without the infinite while loop in TCP_Socket_Server().

I am currently running the PHP files (and the rest of the web content) on APACHE2 - in Ubuntu.

I would really appreciate any advice on this - as at the moment, this looks like a show stopper - and would waste 2 months work.

Hello everyone,

I'm writing a script that allows a user to upload multiple attachments to an email from PHP. So far, everything seems to be working except the multiple attachments part. If I upload one file, it works. If I upload 2, it's messing up the file names so the files don't exist.

So if I upload a.jpg, it works. If I upload a.jpg and b.jpg, b.jpg gets named a b.jpg. Can someone help me understand why this is happening and how to fix it?

I'm almost certain its happening on my while loop around lune 72, but the more I look at the syntax the more it looks okay to me.

I had it appending the path to the file names (so a.jpg become uploads/a.jpg) so I commented that out in hopes that was causing the error but it didn't fix it.

Below is the full script.

Hey All,

First post so please be gentle!

I have a website www.antiquesattic.co.uk and i have been left in the lurch and without it being fully finished. I want to add google analytics code to everypage and i am a bit stuck. I have access to the server (apache 2.2.19) and have been able to add site maps etc but i am not sure where to paste the analytics code. Which folder would i look in and whereabouts do i paste. I would be extremely extremely grateful if someone could do me a quick step by step guide 

Also, if you would like to have a look at the website and give me some feedback that would be great!

One final thing, i can't add content to the homepage just auctions, would it be a easy job to get some one to edit the site so i can add say 1000 words of text at the bottom of the homepage from my admin area?

Apologies for the noob questions but my expertise is in sales and marketing not coding.

Thanks
Chris

Hello all

if ($handle = opendir('./gz')) {

    while ($in_file = readdir($handle)) {

if($in_file != "." && $in_file != ".." && $in_file != "index.php"){

$file = gzopen($in_name, 'rb');
$out_file = fopen($out_file_name, 'wb');


while(!gzeof($file)) {

    fwrite($out_file, gzread($file, $buffer_size));
}

I have a delete statement to delete images, but I also want it to delete the thumbnail image as well.
