PHP - Moved: Paths Issue

First of all, does anyone know of some good documentation to better understand cookies?  I've gone through the PHP manual, and can find how to use PHP to work with cookies, but not how cookies really work.   In particular, it is my understanding that if the domain is .mydomain.com, then mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com, or whatEver.mydomain.com, cookies could be set for each, and available for each, right?   If path was /, cookies will be sent for mydomain.com, mydomain.com/bla, and mydomain.com/bla/bla. If path was /bla, cookies will be not be sent for mydomain.com, but will be sent for mydomain.com and mydomain.com/bla/bla.   Also, what would be the impact if Apache rewrote bla.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/bla?   Please feel free to provide any other insight on this topic.   Thank you

I have a form that lets a user upload an image, aswell as another file. I want the image to go into the images directory, and the pdf file to go into the PDF directory once uploaded. The names of the files will then be uploaded to the database.

At the moment I can get the image to upload to the database and directory, but the PDF is only uploading the name to the database, it is not going into the PDF directory aswell. I'm not sure if there is a way you can do this, I am trying to use "move_uploaded_file()" to physically move the files but not sure if you can use it twice.

here is my code, if you can point anything out or where im going wrong that would be great.
<?php

include "include/conn.php";

include "include/session.php";

<?php


// Check to see if the type of file uploaded is a valid image type

Hi all,

How do I get the following paths from the array separately in a foreach loop?
level.dat
level.dat_old
session.lock
uid.data

If I use

Code: [Select]

foreach($outer_dir as $key=>$val)
[code]

then I get a warning because its returning the folder as 'Array'. The files still upload, as well as a single file called Array.

Can i just strip these from the foreach?

[code]
Array ( [data] => Array ( ) [level.dat] => level.dat [level.dat_old] => level.dat_old [players] => Array ( [herghost.dat] => herghost.dat ) [region] => Array ( [r.-1.0.mcr] => r.-1.0.mcr [r.0.0.mcr] => r.0.0.mcr ) [session.lock] => session.lock [uid.dat] => uid.dat ) herghost.dat

Many thanks from a confused user

I have a directory in public WWW. The files throughout the directory have many PHP includes amongst themselves. For example, the file "registration.php" begins with require('../parameters.php');

The directory is complex, like this:

/Public WWW directory/
        /My_Directory
            parameters.php
            another_reg.php
                /app
                    files.inc
                     files2.inc
                    /morefiles
                    another.inc
                    another2.inc
                    /css
                mycss.css
                /pages
                config.php
                registration.php
            
My question: I want the entire directory moved out of reach above the public WWW, but I want "registration.php" to go into the public WWW.

How would I do that without breaking all the include paths? (I know the solution is probably a one-liner involving __DIR__  ... but I can't seem to code it so it works).

Thank you!!

Hi guys,

Just a quick one - this is more of a bit of a challenge than a problem!

I'm pretty good with PHP - I'm definitely not a beginner, but I've come across a problem I've not yet been able to solve satisfactorily.

Essentially, I am trying to write a really good, solid OOP library that I can hand out for people to use for CMS-driven websites, and I want to literally just upload some files and have access to some variables... simple enough.

But, my snagging point came when I was writing the image library, which handles uploading files and moving them from place to place. These functions as you know usually require an absolute server path - not a relative path and certainly not a URL, so I wanted to place something in my config file that gets the base URL, puts the relative path in one variable (e.g. mysite.com/directory would give /directory) and the server path in another (e.g. mysite.com/directory might give var/www/mysite/www/directory).

Now I might just be being foolish and overlooking something, but I've used HTTP_HOST, DOCUMENT_ROOT etc to get this information, but I only want to get the base directory that the application resides in - usually with installed software sure as WordPress you have to specify which directory the files are going to sit in, which I wondered if you could gauge automatically?

Any help would be appreciated - I've tried as many clever approaches as I could think of, and the only one I can think of now is setting the variables based on, say, installtion.php since I know the name of the file and where it resides, I can strip out all folders minus the filename, which would give me the root directory, but that seems a little fiddly to me?

Someone must have done this before and have a nice clean solution to the problem? I'm at a loss anyway, and I figured it might be a fair challenge to do?

Thanks,
Luke

my directory on my mamp server looks like this;

root/website/index.php

I also have some files in a folder like this

root/website/pages/files.php

My include code is this
include("functions.php");

When I try to include a file from the 'website' folder from a page in the 'pages' folder. It gives me errors that look like this.

Warning: include(functions.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /website/pages/contact.php on line 2

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/website/pages/contact.php on line 2



That's what it looks like.. I can't get it working.

I am in the process of writing a CMS for a friend that is looking to add a classified section to his site. He will be the only one that will ever use it.

I got the code to work with one image when he asked me if I could do it so he could post 6 images for each item. I am unable to figure out how to do this. I was told to do this with a while loop.

This is the code that I have written so far.

<?php

//Check to make sure title is filled in. If not redirects to show_add.php
if (!$_POST[title]) {
header("Location: show_add.php");
exit;
} else {
//check and see if a session has started
session_start();
}
//if session has not been properly started redirects back to the administration menu
if ($_SESSION[valid] != "yes") {
header("Location: admin_menu.php");
exit;
}

include('includes/connection.php');


//check and see if the type of uploaded file is an image
function is_valid_type($file) {
$valid_types = array("image/jpg", "image/jpeg", "image/gif", "image/bmp");

if (in_array($file['type'], $valid_types))
return 1;
return 0;
}

//Set Constants
$TARGET_PATH = "/home/content/m/i/k/mikedmartiny/html/db_images/";

$title = $_POST['title'];
$year = $_POST['year'];
$make = $_POST['make'];
$model = $_POST['model'];
$descript = $_POST['descript'];
$image = $_FILES['image'];

//Sanitize the inputs
$title = mysql_real_escape_string($title);
$year = mysql_real_escape_string($year);
$make = mysql_real_escape_string($make);
$model = mysql_real_escape_string($model);
$descript = mysql_real_escape_string($descript);
$image['name'] = mysql_real_escape_string($image['name']);

//$target_path full string
$TARGET_PATH .= $image['name'];

//make sure that all fields from form are filled in
if ( $title == "" || $year == "" || $make =="" || $model == "" || $descript == "" || $image['name'] == "") {
$_SESSION['error']  = "ALL FIELDS ARE REQUIRED!";
header ("Location: show_add.php");
exit;
}

//check to make sure it has the right file type
if (!is_valid_type($image)){
$_SESSION['error'] = "You must upload a jpeg, gif, or bmp";
header ("Location: show_add.php");
exit;
}

//check to see if a file with that name exsists
if (file_exists($TARGET_PATH)){
$_SESSION['error'] = "A FILE WITH THAT NAME ALL READY EXIST!";
header ("Location: show_add.php");
exit;
}

//move the image - write path to database
while($image <=2) {
move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], $TARGET_PATH)
} else {
// Make sure you chmod the directory to be writeable
$_SESSION['error'] = "COULD NOT UPLOAD FILE. CHECK WRITE/REWRITE PERMISSIONS ON THE FILE DIRECTORY!";
header ("Location: show_add.php");
exit;
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO $table (id, title, year, make, model, descript, image, image_two) VALUES ('', '$_POST[title]', '$_POST[year]', '$_POST[make]', '$_POST[model]', '$_POST[descript]', '" . $image['name'] . "', '" . $image['name'] . "')";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not insert data into DB: " . mysql_error());

?>


I only have it set up to work with 2 images right now. I thought it would be easier to get it to work properly. Then I could just add in the rest of the info later.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was under the impression this was a simple thing to do and I'm fairly certain I've done it before, but it isn't working for some reason.

Under the root directory of my project I have two subfolders called "inc" and "lib". lib contains third-party scripts for use in my project. The one in question is phpmailer (lib/class.phpmailer.php). Now, in inc I have a file that needs to include PHPMailer.

Inside my script in inc I have this:
require_once('../lib/class.phpmailer.php');

It errors out saying it can't find it. I thought that was supposed to go down one directory then back up into lib. The file does indeed exist.

What am I doing wrong? This seems like a stupidly simple thing...
