PHP - Trying To Get File To Attach To Email Message From Upload Form

Hi all,
I am quite new to PHP and MySql. I know how to upload a file a and save the path in the DB, but now I need to send an automatic email to the user when a new invoice is added to his directory. Please help. Thanks

Hi, I have a form where a user selects a file to attach to the email. At the moment when you select a file it uploads from the user device.

How do i change this so that a user can attach a file from a folder on the server. For example the folder name is uploadinvoice

so when the user selects the browse button to attach a file it opens up the uploadinvoice folder on the server so the user can select the file from there ?

 

Thanks 

 

coding i have at moment

function ValidateEmail($email)

{

   $pattern = '/^([0-9a-z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-z])*@(([0-9a-z])+([-\w]*[0-9a-z])*\.)+[a-z]{2,6})$/i';

Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be?

here is the block of code that sends the email
Thanks in advance

I tried to add a second file upload to my previously properly functioning form, but after adding it, now when I submit the form, it submits the data twice. It appears to be submitting the file right on the first insert, but on the second insert, the second image is not inserted, but just blank. Can anyone help me figure out why? I must have done something wrong in my insert statement or second file statement. Here is the page itself which contains the form:

Can anyone see what could be causing it to insert the record twice?

Having some issues getting this to work properly... I keep getting my own error message

I know where it fails, but I can't seem to figure out why it fails. The test file I'm using is an MP3 file, which is why I'm here asking if anyone other than I can shed some experienced light on this :p

I have been spending the majority of this week figuring out why my files are not showing up at my upload location that I set up in my newly created simple upload form. It just seems like php doesn't like me at all. Here is what my code looks like below.

Code: [Select]
<?php 
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['name'], $upload_file))
$destination = "/www/zymichost.com/m/t/l/mtlproductions/htdocs/";
$upload_file = $destination . basename($_FILES['thefile']['name']);{
echo "Your file has been uploaded successfully!";
}/* else {
  echo "Your file did not upload successfully. Check to make sure your file meets the requirements and then try again.";
  print_r($_FILES);}*/?>

I have the orange marked areas commented out due to the unexpected T_ELSE error thing. What do I do to get my files to show up at my upload location when I use my upload form? Thanks!

I have an excel file that has several columns with different data and I need to create a form that can upload this excel file and insert the data from the columns into its conrresponding data columns in a mysql database. I know how to create the form but I have no idea how to get the file and tell it to input each cell of data into its corresponding field in the mysql database. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a form that allows a user to enter details and also to upload a image. The form works great and inserts into the database if i dont include the file input.

What i would like happen is:

The user enters details and selects a file

The file then gets uploaded to ../images and the path is then written to bedroom1 variable

The addresses and the bedroom1 variable that now holds the uploaded file path e.g. images/test.jpg is written to the database

Form
Code: [Select]
<form action="admin.php" method="POST">
   <table>
     <tr><td>
     Address 1:
</td><td>
     <input type="text" name="address1" id="address1" onfocus="selected(this)" onblur="notselected(this)">
</td><td>
     <div id="dynamicText1">
             </div>
</td></tr>

<tr><td>
     Address 2:
</td><td>
     <input type="text" name="address2" id="address2" onfocus="selected(this)" onblur="notselected(this)">
</td><td>
     <div id="dynamicText1">
             </div>
</td></tr>

<tr><td>
     County:
</td><td>
     <input type="text" name="county" id="county" onfocus="selected(this)" onblur="notselected(this)">
</td><td>
     <div id="dynamicText1">
             </div>
</td></tr>

<tr><td>
     Bedroom 1:
</td><td>
     <input type="file" name="bedroom1" id="bedroom1" input name="uploadedfile">
</td><td>
     <div id="dynamicText1">
             </div>
</td></tr>



<tr><td>
     <input type="submit" name="submitaddapartment" value="Add" id="registerbutton">
</td></tr>

   </table
           
        </form>

And the php code to add it to the database


Code: [Select]
<?php
  //get variables
  $submitaddapartment = $_POST['submitaddapartment'];
  $address1 = strip_tags($_POST['address1']);
  $address2 =  strip_tags($_POST['address2']);
  $county = strip_tags($_POST['county']);
  $bedroom1 = strip_tags($_POST['bedroom1']);
   
  
  

  if ($submitaddapartment) //if submit button was pressed
  {
    if ($address1&&$address2&&$county&&$bedroom1&&) //if fields arn't blank
    {
  include 'dbase.php'; //connect to database
  
  if ((($_FILES["bedroom1"]["type"] == "image/gif")
  || ($_FILES["bedroom1"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
  || ($_FILES["bedroom1"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
  && ($_FILES["bedroom1"]["size"] < 20000000))

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to add a file size limit to my upload form-code (below)

I want to let users select and upload a file.

The select form and upload sritp work when they are on different pages, but I want them on the same page with the upload script executing only if the form has been submitted.

Here the upload form

<!--select the file -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="manage_files.php" method="POST">Please choose a file to upload: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><input type="submit" value="Upload" /></form> 

... and here's the upload code...

<!--upload the file -->
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$target = "safes/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=1;

//This is our size condition
//if ($uploaded_size > 350000)
//{
//echo "Your file is too large.<br>";
//$ok=0;
//}

//if (!($uploaded_type=="application/zip")) {
//echo "You may only upload ZIP files.<br>";
//$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 "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
}
}
?>


What am I missing?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

This is the code I made to show the problem:

$useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)";
$timeout = 10 ;
$cookie = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE");
 
$post = array('_method'=>"put",
                     'authenticity_token'=>'
zcvcxfsdfvxcv',
                     'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg"
                    );
       
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/test.php");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "" );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );    # required for https urls
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout );
        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout );
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
        $html = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

Now this link used above: http://localhost/test.php has this code:

    print_r($_POST);
    print_r($_FILES);

It simply prints whats in post and files.


So the above code displays this on screen:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [_method] => put

    [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv
)
Array
(
    [profile_image] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [a] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg
                )

            [type] => Array
                (
                    [a] => image/jpeg
                )

            [tmp_name] => Array
                (
                    [a] => /tmp/phppLJPQV
                )

            [error] => Array
                (
                    [a] => 0
                )

            [size] => Array
                (
                    [a] => 55377

                )
        )

)
but we need to modify the code so that it should display this:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [_method] => put
    [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv
)
Array
(
    [profile_image[a]] => Array
        (
            [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg
             
            [type] => image/jpeg
               
            [tmp_name] =>  /tmp/phppLJPQV

            [error] =>  0
               
            [size] =>  55377
               
        )

)

Meaning, it is taking this(profile_image[a]) as an array when we are defining $post because that's how curl recognizes that we want to upload only a file or an array of files on server by http post.

So, basically the problem is the name of the input field that is defined as an array (profile_image[a]) on the web page that we are trying to mock. If this(profile_image[a]) was this (profile_image_a)(without []) on that webpage, then it would not have been a problem. So, if you understand, this is basically a syntax problem. I do not know how stop curl from reading 'profile_image[a]' as an array here 'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg. I need curl to read 'profile_image[a]' as an string and not array. I have to use [], otherwise I will not be able to mock the webpage as the name will change. It will give error.


I hope I explained the problem and also gave you a way to test if you have a solution. Again, if your code starts displaying this:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [_method] => put
    [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv

)
Array
(
    [profile_image[a]] => Array

        (
            [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg     

            [type] => image/jpeg

            [tmp_name] =>  /tmp/phppLJPQV

            [error] =>  0
 
            [size] =>  55377
        )

)
,then we have a solution.

Thanks for helping in advance.

Manoj

Hi

Have got my form working for all standard bits.  Just need to add the functionality for people to upload photos.  I copied and modified the form from a site and there is a section that I think is redundant it still works when I comment it out can you clarify for me:

Code: [Select]

    // validation expected data exists
 /*   if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email']) ||
        !isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
        !isset($_POST['comments'])) {
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');       
    }
     */

Below is the full code for the form:

From what I've been reading you need to tell the php to put it to a temporary file from the submit.. then move it to the file name and then somehow include that file name in the php email back.  So maybe a url and its private or htaccess? or does it get included as attachment in the mail?

Im not sure if i should be using 'id' or 'name' in the html form etc and how to tie it together.

Any help or guides much appreciated.

Thanks

I am attempting to get my email form with file attachment to work. Apparently the file is not reaching getting to the validation portion of the page I have switched $_FILES['X'] on line 203 from file to fakefile as they are labeled in the form also I am employing css hacks to change the input file upload field to have a custom button example -> http://visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form_final/form.php
