PHP - Choose Upload Directory

So I'm a little confused and hoping someone can help me understand. I have a form that I use to upload a file, html with browse button, etc. The php file creates a directory based on the a value (lastname) from the form, so the folder files creates a directory named the value lastname. My problem is that I can't get the upload function to put the file in the newly created directory. So here is the upload script.



$foldername = $_POST['lastname'];
// Desired folder structure
$structure = 'files/'.$foldername.'';
// To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter 
// to mkdir() must be specified.
if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) {
    die('Failed to create folders...');
}

$target = "files/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']) ; 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 
echo "<center>The file ". basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']). " has been uploaded.</center>"; 
} 
else 
{ 
echo "No File was uploaded"; 
} 



So when I edited the target, it just changed the filename . What should I change in the code above to upload the file to the new directory?

Thanks again,
Sanchez

Good Evening,

If anyone could help with this little problem be much appreciated.

what i'm trying to do is using  a drop down menu select a folder name which is stored in a database table.. then taking that folder name and upload various files to that specified folder. There's probably an easier way to do this but i've searched google argggh..

The first part of code is the php to grab the folder names and the file selection form

Code: [Select]
<?php 
include("connection.php");

$sql="SELECT id, name FROM gallery";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

$options="";

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

    $id=$row["id"];
    $thing=$row["name"];
    $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$thing ;
}
?>

<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<form action="postFiles.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td><strong>multiple Files Upload </strong></td>
</tr>
<td><SELECT NAME=thing>
<OPTION VALUE=0>Choose
<?=$options?>
</SELECT>
</td>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
The second part of the code below is the php code to upload those files, the problem being how do i specify the upload destination using the drop down in the previous form (instead of UPLOAD) which it is default set to

Code: [Select]
<?php

 
//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload 
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path1= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2];

//copy file to where you want to store file
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1], $path2);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][2], $path3);
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<BR/>";

What I want to achieve is this;

When a record is being inserted, a user will make a selection from the dropdown box with a list of directories. Then, a user will upload an image. When a image is uploaded and a directory is chosen, I want the image to be assigned to a specific directory from the list so when the record is inserted, that image will be placed in the specific directory. How do I achieve this please?

I have a form on which the filepond plugin send the file manually
 and it generate the base64 formated data of that file, unfortunately
Icant get it's previous name so i randomize the name, and put the file directry in the final folder, is there any problem on security?, can i validate if its an image with all property such as size,dimension e.t.c Before adding it the directory? and how to get the it's
new name to database.

 

Look here

if(empty($_POST['image'])) {
    echo 'add file!';
}
$myimage = $_POST['image'];
$myimage = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $myimage);
$myimage = str_replace(' ', '+', $myimage);
$decode = base64_decode($myimage);
$myfile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/mages/' . uniqid() . '.png';
//now put the file
file_put_contents($myfile, $decode);

 

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.

Hi guys,

I've been working on a script for a while now,
and I'm sure it doesn't look great and all, and it's probably really messed up..
But right now I've finally got it working!
There's only 1 thing I'd really like to add..
Searching through & listing of remote directories!
The directories I'm trying to list have directory listings enabled,
and I think it *should* be possible.
I just have no clue how.

Here's my current code in a beautiful mix of HTML and PHP:


<?
$border_size = "0";

$what=explode("/",$what);
$tps=count($what);

$home_url=returner(__FILE__);
if(isset($_GET['q'])) {
$qtext=$_GET['q'];
} else {
$qtext="";
}
function getdirsize($directory, $format=FALSE) {
$size = 0;
if(substr($directory,-1) == '/') {
$directory = substr($directory,0,-1);
}
if(!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory) || !is_readable($directory)) {
return -1;
}
if($handle = opendir($directory)) {
while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
$path = $directory.'/'.$file;
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
if(is_file($path)) {
$size += filesize($path);
}
elseif(is_dir($path)) {
$handlesize = getdirsize($path);
if($handlesize >= 0) {
$size += $handlesize;
} else {
return -1;
}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
if($format == TRUE) {
if($size / 1048576 > 1) {
return round($size / 1048576, 1).' MB';
}
elseif($size / 1024 > 1) {
return round($size / 1024, 1).' KB';
} else {
return round($size, 1).' bytes';
}
} else {
return $size;
}
}

  $type=$_GET['type'];

So right now my question to you PHP freaks is,
can you please help me edit my script so I can search through a remote directory?

*This* is one of the directories I wish to be able to search through & list..

Thanks in advance. 

Edit;
It might help if you know what the site currently looks like.
*Click*

i have made an delete files script which works for only one directory but not sub directory so i want to delete files of same extention from directory and subdirectory.

My current code is

Code: [Select]

<?

$dir = 'hmm/';

function scanr($dir){

$arr = glob($dir.'/*.jpg');
foreach($arr as $vv){



//check if $vv is a file
if(is_file($vv)){

//if file, get the filename
$vx=explode('/',$vv);
$file=$vx[count($vx)-1];


// if no extension delete the file
unlink($vv);
// print the deletion message
echo $vv." deleted!<br>";}else{
// if $vv is a dir then scan it again for files
scanr($vv);
}}
}

scanr($dir);
?>

I need to choose a random number that doesn't currently exist in the database

Hi there,

I'd be ever so greatful if someone could help me please. I'm really trying to get my head around working with arrays and could really do with an example in a context i fully understand.
I have made a test page for this and made a query that will search for appropriate records in my database:
  Code: [Select]
<?php $colname_Class = "3";
$colname_Ships = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) {
  $colname_Ships = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['MM_Username'] : addslashes($_SESSION['MM_Username']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_swb, $swb);
$query_Ships = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ships WHERE PlayerName = %s AND Class=%s AND Template='1'", GetSQLValueString($colname_Ships, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($colname_Class, "int"));
$Ships = mysql_query($query_Ships, $swb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Ships = mysql_fetch_assoc($Ships);
$totalRows_Ships = mysql_num_rows($Ships);



echo $row_Ships['ShipID']; echo ' ';
echo $row_Ships['ShipName']; echo ' ';
echo $row_Ships['Class']; echo ' ';
echo '  ';
echo $totalRows_Ships = mysql_num_rows($Ships); ?>

After i made the query i echo out the ShipID, ShipName and Class from the queey which displays:

5 New Ship 3 1

So you can see the ShipID = 5, the name of the Ship is New Ship, its Class is 3 and there is only 1 record found in the database that matches the search criteria.

Lets say there are 10 records in my database... What i really need to do is  make an array of the outputted results, determine the number of records and then to randomly choose 1 of the results from the array.

Can you help me please?? If i can see an example in this context i feel i'd really learn something here.

If you can help, please do because im well stuck.

Thank you

Tom

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section but I'm getting desperate at the moment and need some help..

I'm working with wordpress and will be creating a website which will cover news/reviews/etc on different subjects. (Gaming, android, iOS etc.)
Now I want one page to be a general gaming page on which we'll post news about Nintendo, PlayStation, PC gaming etc. However, I want people to be able to choose one or more categories on this page. For example, if a user wouldn't want to read nintendo news it should filter those posts out.. If a user only wanted xbox news it should filter out everything but xbox posts.
I asked this on the Wordpress forums as well and someone else beat me to it a couple years ago, but the topic has been closed and due to the lack of a PM-ing system on their forums it's impossible to see what fixed the issue..
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/let-user-toggle-post-visibility-by-category-oder-tag?replies=4

Hoping that someone out there can help, thanks in advance

I need a simple code like
Code: [Select]
$test1="1";
$test2="2";
$test=$test1|$test2;
echo $test;to randomly catch the value of strings $test1 or $test2; as each time running the code, echo shows randomly one of the strings.

Could you please guide what the third line should be ?

Dear everyone,

I am reasonably new to php, so there is a chance that what I am asking for may exceed my grasp.
Nevertheless I'd like to try:

Is it possible to let the user choose (by using a drop down listbox for instance) which table from a database to display on a page?
And/or which database to display on a page?

Background information: I'm working on a website for my chess club. I've already got a working page (html,css) with a table of the standings (mysql, php) of the latest round (with position number, name, points, wins, losses, etc). By clicking on the column header, it sorts the respective column. What I'd finally like to do is let the user choose to display a different round (table), or even a different season (database). I could make a seperate page for each round, but I'd like to know if there's a more elegant way to do this by using only one page and one or more databases.

Thanks in advance for any tips and best wishes from The Netherlands,

Wouter.

I know the title is a bit confusing but I wasn't exactly sure how to describe my issue and none of my numerous searches online and here returned any positive results for a solution.

What I'm trying to do is allow a user to 'choose' one set from multiple sets of numbers for inclusion into the database. The image below should with the visualization of my goal.   As you can see from the above image, there's a "button" to the right that states "keep this set". My goal is to allow the user to click the button and the corresponding set of values is then entered into the database as a string (the values aren't being used in any calculations afterwards just being displayed on screen.)

The following code below works for auto-insertion if there's only one set generated but nothing I've attempted so far works when it comes to allowing the user to choose one set they'd like entered.

    <?php

additional code here...

    echo '<table><tr><td>';

    for($i=1; $i<=$Sets; $i++){
        $Stat_Results = GenStats($uId, $StartSet, $SetOption);

        echo "Stat values for ".$SetGenerated[$i];

       foreach($Stat_Results as $key => $DisplayStats){
              echo $DisplayStats.', ';
       }

       if($Sets == 1){
         $SetResults = implode(',',$Stat_Results);
         DB_Insert($uId, $SetResults, $TimeStamp);    
       }else if($Sets >= 2){
         echo "</td><td> => <input type='button' name='submit' value='keep this set'></td>
         <tr><td>";
       }
    }    
    echo '</td></tr></table>';
    ?>

html below here....

Variables: $sId, $StartSet, $SetOption, $Sets, $uId, and $TimeStamp are all set in a section not shown in this snippet.

I've tried Javascript but too be honest, I'm not all that familiar with it (though I am trying to become more fluid in it) and I've went so far as to try to create the multiple sets as a dropdown box thinking the user could simply select it from there and it be treated as a dynamic form and php would do the rest. But that didn't work either. The form button for submission is the remnant of the <select> list I tried to generate. The form is no longer there. I left the button in to generate the image you see above and has since been removed from the actual code.

I admit, I'm stuck and need some guidance because I can't seem to make this work no matter what I do. I realize $Stat_Results is a multidimensional array and contains all the values of each set in their respective array, but so far, I'm at a stand still on properly retrieving those values for insertion.

Thanks to all who read and attempt to help!

Hello Everyone,
                      I am a noob at PHP so please forgive me if my code is wrong. I have a strong understanding of HTML and CSS  just for the curious.

Question: Write a program that formats a block of text (to be input by the user) based on preferences chosen by the user. Give your user options for color of text, font choice and size. Display output on a new page. I would greatly appreciate someone's help. The text is showing up but not according to the options selected. I know there is something wrong with the output page.

Here is the Input Page (call it question4.php):

<html>
<head>
<title>
Please Enter Your Text</title>
</head>

<body>



<form method="post" action="question4display.php">

<p>Enter the text you want formatted please:

<input type="text" name="textformat" maxlength="30" size="30" />

<table>
<tr>
   <td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td>
   <td><select id="font" name="font">
   <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option>
   <option value="Arial">Arial</option>
   <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
   <td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td>
   <td><select id="size" name="size">
   <option value="10px">10px</option>
   <option value="12px">12px</option>
   <option value="14px">14px</option>
   <option value="20px">20px</option>
   
</select>
</td>
</tr>
   
<tr>
   <td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td>
   <td><select id="color" name="color">
   <option value="green">Green</option>
   <option value="blue">Blue</option>
   <option value="red">Red</option>
   </select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
   
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>


</body>
</html>




Here is the OUTPUT page (called it:question4display.php):


<?php

session_start();
$_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat'];
$_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font'];
$_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size'];
$_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color'];

?>

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p
<?php
echo ' style="font-family: ' . $_POST['font'] . '; ';
echo 'font-size: ' . $_POST['size'] . '; ';
echo 'color: ' . $_POST['color'] . '; ';
?> >
<?php
echo $_POST['textformat'];
?>
</p>

</body>
</html>
