PHP - File Upload And Download After Splitting

Hello I already know this is possible with php


<?php
$file = 'monkey.gif';

if (file_exists($file)) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file);
    exit;
}
?>


But I am wondering is it possible to just send over a string of data stored in like $data and create a file clientside (nothing server side).

So i'm guessing readfile() has to be replaced with something

Dear PHPFreak members,
I have been searching a solution for serving a file download via my website. The file to be downloaded is actually on a remote server.

What i need is a code that serves as a download medium without actually downloading the file to my web server. Something like masking file url 

Can anyone help me with it ???
Have been trying this since days. But no solution till date.

In this multi file upload form, choose three images, click submit and preview the images on the preview page. If the user wishes to delete or replace an image, click edit and the form will go back to the previous page. Select the replace radio button for example on one of the three images and select a new image from the file input prompt and click submit. The form will go to the preview page again to display the images. During this process the image names are being input into a table and the images are being moved to a directory.

The table is

  `id`  AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `image0`
  `image1`
  `image2`
  `status`

So input name='image[image0]' can be directed to table `image0` and so on.

The code for keep and delete work fine, but how do I replace an image?
I have two foreach blocks. The first one deletes the image file from the directory and deletes the image name from the table, but the second foreach dose not move the new image file into the directory.
Thanks.

<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<?php
if (isset($_POST['status'])) {

$status = $_POST['status'];
$confirm_code = $status;

#--------------------------- replace --------------------------------------------

if (isset($_POST['submitted']) &&
($image = $_POST['image'])) {

foreach($image as $imageKey => $imageValue) {
if ($imageValue == 'replace') {
$query = "SELECT $imageKey FROM table WHERE status = '$status' ";
if($result = $db->query( $query )){
$row = $result->fetch_array();
}

unlink( UPLOAD_DIR.$row[0] );

$query = "UPDATE table SET $imageKey = '' WHERE status = '$status' ";
}
}

foreach($image as $imageKey => $imageValue) {
if ($imageValue == 'replace') {

$filenm = $_FILES['image']['name']; 
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];

move_uploaded_file($file, UPLOAD_DIR . $filenm);
$filename[] = $filenm; 

$query = "INSERT INTO table VALUES ('','$filename[0]','$filename[1]','$filename[2]','$confirm_code')";
}
}
}
}
?>

Hiya,

Firstly, I'm a complete novice, apologies! But I have got my upload.php working which is nice. I will post the code below.

However, I would now like to restrict the file size and file type to only word documents.

I currently have a restriction of 200KB but it's not working - no idea why as I've looked at other similar codes and they look the same.

Also, just to complicate things - can I stop files overwriting each other when uploaded? At the moment, if 2 people upload files with the same name one will overwrite the other.

Is this too many questions in 1?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Code below:

Code: [Select]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="careers.php" method="POST">
        Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 200) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //This is our limit file type condition 
 if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
 { 
 echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
 if ($ok==0) 
 { 
 Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
 } 
 
 //If everything is ok we try to upload it 
 else 
 { 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 
 echo "Your file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded."; 
 } 
 else 
 { 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 
 } 
 ?>

Hello!

I'm making a interface in a website do manage files in a ftp hosted on other server.

I'm using the function ftp_get() to download a file but I've tried different aways but I dosent seem do be able to download the file directly from the FTP server do the user the only way it works is if I download the file to the website server first then to the client.

Is there any way that I can download the file directly to the user without have to hosting it permanently on the website server?

Thank you

I've written the following code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
echo '<img src="Sheph.png" />';


function Wad(){
if (file_exists("Sheph.png")) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename("Sheph.png"));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("Sheph.png"));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile("Sheph.png");
    exit;
}
}
Wad();
?>
What I want to do is show the image AND show a file download window.
The problem is that it shows the download window but the image doesn't appear. and if I comment the function and keep the echo part only,the image appears normally.

What's wrong ? 

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a PHP script that downloads a file off a remote FTP server and serves the file to the visitor with a limited download speed.

Right now I'm using fopen() like this:

Code: [Select]
$path = "ftp://".$username.":".$password."@".$server."/";
$fullPath = ($path.$fileName);

$speed = 400; // 400 kb/s download rate

    header("Cache-control: private");
    header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    //header("Content-Length: ".filesize($fullPath));
    header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$fileName."\"");

    flush();

   $fd = fopen($fullPath, "r");
   while(!feof($fd)) {
         echo fread($fd, round($speed*1024));
       flush();
       sleep(1);
   }
   fclose ($fd);


The file does download but with the wrong speed (8kb/s), does anyone know why?

When I run the same code with a local file instead of a file on FTP it works fine and downloads at the speed I set it to..

Thanks

Hello, all: been trying to convert this little single-file upload to multiple by naming each file form-field as "userfile[]" as it's supposed to automatically treat them as an array.. but no luck!  Can you guide me as to what am I doing wrong??
appreciate the help!


Code: [Select]
<?php

if (!isset($_REQUEST["seenform"])) {
?>
   <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="#" method="post">
   Upload file: <input name="userfile[]" type="file" id="userfile[]">
   Upload file: <input name="userfile[]" type="file" id="userfile[]">
   <input type="submit" value="Upload">
   <input type="hidden" name="seenform">
   </form>
<?php
} 
else 
{ // upload begins
$userfiles = array($_FILES['userfile']);
foreach ($userfiles as $userfile)
{ // foreach begins
   $uploaded_dir = "uploads/";
   $userfile = $_FILES['userfile']["name"];
   $path = $uploaded_dir . $userfile;
   if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']["tmp_name"], $path)) 
     {
   print "$userfile file moved";
   // do something with the file here
    } else 
{
   print "Move failed";
}
} // foreach ends
} // upload ends

?>

<td><label for='images'> <b>File to upload:</b> </label></td>
            <td><input type='file'  name = 'drama_image' '<?php echo $row['drama_image']; ?>'/></
                       </tr>
         
   <?php
            $target_path = "images/";
            $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['images']['name']);

            if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['images']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
                echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['images']['name']).
             " has been uploaded";
            } else{
                echo $row['drama_image'];
            }
         
     ?>

['drama_image'] is the name of the file

I wanna echo it out in the box of file upload so when I save , the default picture will still be there instead of being overwritten as the box does not have any value in it.

I havent included the whole title as it wouldnt let me but I was wondering if someone could help me on this?

I know this is possible as torrentflux caters for this but unsure of where to start.

I dont want to allow file or directory uploads or creation in my /etc/php.ini file (this is turned off).

Yet then torrentflux allows me to link a torrent from an external source (using legal downloads of course  ) but then it uploads it on my server and creates folders on a per user basis.

How is this possible can someone give me some pointers please?

I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.

So, I'm learning how to upload pictures into a system from my awesome PHP book. I've looked and looked through the script but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Goal:
The script is meant to save a full version of the image in the images folder and a thumbnail in the thumbnail folder.
Bug:
The full image does not appear in any folder, and the thumbnail is created but its put in the images folder.

I've checked the GD library, and everything is supported.

Hello! I have this validation script that seems to work great until I add the size validation. I'm ready to pull my hair out! Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$user_id = $userdata[user_id];
    $number_of_file_fields = 0;
    $number_of_uploaded_files = 0;
    $number_of_moved_files = 0;
    $uploaded_files = array();
$max_filesize = 5242880; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 5MB).
    $upload_directory = dirname(__file__) . '/'.$user_id.'/'; //set upload directory
if (!is_dir($upload_directory)) {
    mkdir($upload_directory, 0777, true);
}

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES['images']['name']); $i++) {
        $number_of_file_fields++;
        if ($_FILES['images']['name'][$i] != '') { //check if file field empty or not
            $number_of_uploaded_files++;
if($_FILES['images']['size'] > $max_filesize){
echo "<b class='red'>Max file size is 5MB.</b><br/>";
$sz = true;
}
$ext = validate_extension($_FILES['images']['name'][$i]);
if (($ext == true) && ($sz == true)){
$uploaded_files[] = $_FILES['images']['name'][$i];
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['images']['tmp_name'][$i], $upload_directory . $_FILES['images']['name'][$i])) {
$number_of_moved_files++;
            }
}else { echo "<b class='red'>File extention error. Only .doc, .pdf, .jpg and .gif files are allowed. </b><br/>";
}

        }

    }
if ($number_of_uploaded_files >= 1){
echo "Number of files submitted:<b class='red>".$number_of_uploaded_files."</b><br/>";
echo "Number of successfully uploaded files:<b class='red>".$number_of_moved_files."</b><br/><br/>";
echo "Uploaded File Name(s):<br/>" . implode('<br/>', $uploaded_files);
}


}
As of now it results in every uploaded file returning the error "Max file size is 5MB."

HI All,

I have a form submission that uploads a photo as well as submitting other data.

I would like to change the name of the photo to the id of the person record (created automatically on by the database) then a hyphen, then their first name and lastname. (i am flexible on this).

This file name will also need to be submitted into the person record so the photo and the person can be linked.

I am struggling with this one - but here is the code i have so far.

 

<?php 
include 'includes/dbconn.php';

$target_dir = "img/people/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["personHeadshot"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){

	$fn = $_POST['fname'];
	$ln = $_POST['lname'];
	$ad1 = $_POST['ad1'];
	$ad2 = $_POST['ad2'];
	$city = $_POST['city'];
	$post = $_POST['postcode'];
	$tel = $_POST['phone'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$crole = $_POST['comRole'];
	$OFA = $_POST['OFA'];
	$playerType = $_POST['playerType'];
	$team = $_POST['primaryTeam'];


	$stmt = $conn->prepare("
	                       INSERT IGNORE INTO person (fname, lname, committee_role_id, player_type_id, team_id, ad1, ad2, city, postcode, mobile, email, on_field_auth_id) 
	                       VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
	                       ");
	$stmt -> bind_param(ssiiissssssi, $fn, $ln, $crole, $playerType, $team, $ad1, $ad2, $city, $post, $tel, $email, $OFA);
	$stmt -> execute();

	// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
//photo upload
	$check = getimagesize($_FILES["personHeadshot"]["tmp_name"]);
  if($check !== false) {
    echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
    $uploadOk = 1;
  } else {
    echo "File is not an image.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
  }
//photo upload

	header("location: ../admin-people-list.php");
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
  echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
  $uploadOk = 0;
}

// Check file size
if ($_FILES["personHeadshot"]["size"] > 500000) {
  echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
  $uploadOk = 0;
}

// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
  echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
  $uploadOk = 0;
}

// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
  echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["personHeadshot"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["personHeadshot"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
  } else {
    echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
  }
}

 

The other day I noticed someone had post something like this, well this was actually the solution to the problem. But it got me thinking about a project of mine that I am working on and the need to pump out a downloadable file. We are storing most of the files in a database using base64 encoding the 2 key types of files we are storing are images and PDF's mostly pdf's anyway where I am wanting to go with this is, is there anyway to take the base64 encoded file and get it to download through this, or am I tackling the idea in the wrong way?

<?php
$filename = 'somename.txt'; //this would obviously be changed according to the file type we would output

$data =<<<DATA
I know my data would go here for the given file once decoded.
DATA;

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($data));
echo $data;
?>
