PHP - How May I Give A Php File Ownership Of Folder So It Can Except Uploads

I am relatively new to PHP, so I need help why this script is not functioning

**T

if ($actionis=='Add Resource'){

//declaration of directory where files are saved


if(isset($_POST['file']))
{
//setting of variables

$uploaddir = "resources/";

$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$fileErr = $_FILES['userfile']['error'];

$filePath= $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);


global $filePath;

//filters extension filename
$fileX = strrchr($fileName,".");

/*
* UPLOAD FILTERING OPTIONS
*/

if ($fileSize>1000000){
die ("File too large! Must be below 1Mb.");
}
else{
if (($fileX==".txt")||($fileX==".doc")||($fileX==".docx")||($fileX==".pdf")||($fileX==".ppt")||($fileX==".pptx")){

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $filePath)){
echo "<code>SUCCESS! File Uploaded.</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;".$fileErr;
}
else{
echo "<code class='red'>Upload Failed.</code>";
}

 }
else{
die ("Wrong file format!");
}
}
}


The above script does not generate an error. But my problem is that I cannot save the uploaded file into my selected directory.

My goal is to allow the user to select whether or not they want to replace the current img files.  If so delete all current ones in select dir and upload into it.  If not then began uploading at a specific point such that.

1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
...
and so on

(replace yes deletes all and no deletes none)

The directories are assigned previously and are accessed via sql database

These are the two current sets i have

<?php $page_title = "Central Valley LLC | Photo Addition" ?><?php include("header.php"); ?><?php include("nav.html"); ?> <div id="content"> <form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="which">Choose A Product:</label> <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","phoenixi_cv","centraladmin"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("phoenixi_cvproducts", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Products"); echo "<select>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  { echo "<option "; echo "value=\"" . $row['num'] . "\">"; echo $row['Name'] . "</option>"; } echo "</select>"; mysql_close($con); ?> <br /> <h3 id="center">Do You Wish To Replace Current Images?</h3> <br /> <input type="radio" name="replace" value="y" />YES<br /> <input type="radio" name="replace" value="n" />NO <br /> <input name="uploads[]" type="file" multiple="multiple" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </div><!--#content--><?php include("footer.html") ?>()

and this is the upload script so far

<?php $count = 1; if($_POST[replace]=='y') { $mydir = 'assets/images/' . $_POST['which'] . '/'; $d = dir($mydir); while($entry = $d->read()) { if($entry!="." && $entry!="..") { unlink($entry); } } } else { $loop = true; while($loop == true) { $filename = 'assets/images/' . $_POST['which'] . '/' . $count . '.jpg'; if(file_exists($filename)) { $count++; } else { $loop = false; } } } if(!is_dir("uploads/".$id)) {   //this checks to make sure the directory does not already exist mkdir("uploads/".$id, 0777, true); //if the directory doesn't exist then make it chmod("uploads/".$id, 0777);  //chmod to 777 lets us write to the directory } $uploaddir = 'assets/images/' . $_POST['which'] . '/'; foreach($_FILES["uploads"]["name"] as $bla=> $boo) {      //we have to do a loop to get all the filenames $file=$uploaddir.$boo;  //we will check the filename in the upload directory, see if it exists if (file_exists($file)) {   //if it exists then ...... die("Filename already exists, please rename this file");   //if filename exists in the directory then we die!!! :P } } foreach ($_FILES["uploads"]["error"] as $key => $error) { if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) { echo"$error_codes[$error]";   // let you know if there was an error on any uploads move_uploaded_file(      //php function to move the file $_FILES["uploads"]["tmp_name"][$key],     //from the temporary directory $uploaddir. $_FILES["uploads"]["name"][$key]   //to the directory you chose ) or die("Problems with upload"); }   }   foreach($_FILES["uploads"]["name"] as $bla=> $boo)   { $file=$uploaddir.$boo; $movepoint = $uploaddir . $count . '.jpg'; rename($file, $movepoint); $count++; } ?>()

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.Also if you can suggest any easier ways i would certainly be obliged.

I'm looking for ideas thoughts that anyone might have regarding disappearing ID3 tags in .mp3 files after they are uploaded to a web server via $_FILES method.

In order, the steps occur at time of upload a
1) File upload is initiated
2) File is uploaded to temp dir on server
3) File is re-assigned a hash value for a file name, with .mp3 appended
4) File is moved from temp dir to the given users dir
5) Meta Data is supposed to be read, and a row inserted into the DB.

Now, everything works as intended - not having any issues... Other than, of course, the mystery of the vanishing ID3 tags.    Can anyone shed some light on this?

I am 100% certain that I can read the meta data - giving two different parameters on two different files (one uploaded manually via sftp, the other via http through the use of $_FILES)

Example of what's happening: http://69.164.222.60/test2.php

nji.mp3 was uploaded via SFTP.  The hashed .mp3 was uploaded via my web form.

Hey everyone. I have a form that is working fine. Basically it will upload files to an email address. The files do arrive at the email address, but the problem is that they show up as 0KB in my inbox. Photos, text docs etc., that I upload via the form are arriving in my email at 0KB for some reason. I know the code is messy, but hopefully someone can figure out why the files are uploading as 0KB. **Please see attached code

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

Hi, I want to let users upload multiple images to my online picture book, so after they press submit, HOW do I count the total $_FILES[someName]['name'] uploaded. I want to allow users to type in html form the total uploads they want and this will then display that many desired upload forms.

I'm going to try count($_FILES[][]) and go from there first...

Any help much appreciated!

Hello.

My script is set to upload files upto 5GB large.

For that script I've currently set memory_limit to 5GB. Is it alright?

I mean what is the ideal value (for large upload scripts)

If you feel, 5GB is large. I can make script to upload 2GB files and set memory_limit accordingly.

Also, max_execution_time has been set by me to 86400 currently. Assuming, on a 500Kbps broadband, it would require upto 24 hours to upload a 3-5GB file.

Please suggest.

Thank you.

I've got a typical form with an input type="file" for users to upload photos to my site (2mb max to be exact). If you view my code below, you'll notice that I set a variable as the uploaded file's size, and a variable for the max file size I want in bytes. When making sure that the uploaded file's size is LESS than the limit size I set, it should push an error.

However, I've noticed that my variable $uploadSize that is supposed to grab the upload file size is only returning "0" (zero). I've tried var_dump($_FILES) to see what was going on and it shows the array with the proper name of the uploaded file, etc. but the file size returns 0.

So any file size I upload will bypass my test to see if the file size is less than the limit size. I've tested uploading images 2mb or less and the photos have successfully been queried, moved and resized. However, if I try and upload images LARGER than 2mb, the form still queries all the inputted data into the database but the image isn't successfully moved.

I've used this same form and approach on a previous project and I didn't have any trouble. Can I get your guys' eyes on this and see if I'm missing anything small?

Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

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 have a file upload script that will eventually process a ton of files.  I would like to upload them into sub-directories according to what year, month, and day they are uploaded.     A typical tree should look like this:   attachments/ --/2014 -----/January --------/01 --------/02 --------/03 , etc. -----/February --------/01 --------/04 --------/09 --------/18 --------/20, etc -----/March, etc --/2015, etc.   So a file called image.jpg uploaded on 10/31/2014 would have a URL of attachments/2014/October/31/image.jpg.  I understand that every time a file is uploaded, the script would have to detect through FTP whether or not folders for the year, month, and day exist, and if they don't create them.  My problem is that I have no idea what the logic of this script would be.  What order should I do things in?  Is there a way to use maybe foreach to detect/create the folders?  Any input would be appreciated.    

Is it possible to feed the browser a default save as name for the image when outputting to the browser, instead of it defaulting to the .php file name?

So, instead of myimage.php I could use imagename.jpg or whatever I want.

I have a page using forms to help build listing templates for eBay. I have a folder where I have hundreds of logos stored. I know the logo names but not their extensions. . . . I have to test each potential (jpg, jpeg, gif, png, etc.) until I guess right. Here is an example code for the web form: <form action="extension_test2.php" method="post">
<p>Logo: <input name="e" value="" type="text" size="15" maxlength="30" /><p>
<input name="Submit" type="Submit"/>
</form>   and the form's result: <?

$e =$_POST['e'];

if(!empty($e)) {
echo '<img src="http://www.gbamedica...ebayimg/logos/'.$e.'">';
};

?>   Here is a link to the example: http://www.gbamedica...ension_test.php Use "olympus.jpg" for test. I am looking for code that can determine the file type and dynamically add the extension. Can it be done?

Stumped!  I have a client who has a form where they upload files to their server: title, two password fields, and the file They have been unable to upload anything over 10m   Small (under 10mb) files work. Larger doesn’t I’ve tracked it down, I think, that the processing page appears to be dropping the form values when the file takes a bit to upload.   I echo’ed the values that are grabbed from the form, and they return empty strings if it takes a while for the file to upload (a large file) - they pass fine if the file is smaller.   I think I've got the php info set correctly, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust the timing out issue, or even where to troubleshoot.   Here's my phpinfo:   Max Requests Per Child: 750 - Keep Alive: off - Max Per Connection: 100 Timeouts Connection: 120 - Keep-Alive: 5     Directive Local Value Master Value allow_call_time_pass_reference Off Off allow_url_fopen On On allow_url_include Off Off always_populate_raw_post_data Off Off arg_separator.input & & arg_separator.output & & asp_tags Off Off auto_append_file no value no value auto_globals_jit On On auto_prepend_file no value no value browscap /etc/browscap.ini /etc/browscap.ini default_charset no value no value default_mimetype text/html text/html define_syslog_variables Off Off disable_classes no value no value disable_functions leak,posix_getpwuid,posix_getpwnam,posix_getgrid,posix_getgrnam,posix_getgroups leak,posix_getpwuid,posix_getpwnam,posix_getgrid,posix_getgrnam,posix_getgroups display_errors Off Off display_startup_errors Off Off doc_root no value no value docref_ext no value no value docref_root no value no value enable_dl Off Off error_append_string no value no value error_log /mnt/Target01/337846/945285/www.dermerrealestate.com/logs/php_errors.log no value error_prepend_string no value no value error_reporting 30711 30711 exit_on_timeout Off Off expose_php Off Off extension_dir /usr/lib64/php/modules /usr/lib64/php/modules file_uploads On On highlight.bg #FFFFFF #FFFFFF highlight.comment #FF8000 #FF8000 highlight.default #0000BB #0000BB highlight.html #000000 #000000 highlight.keyword #007700 #007700 highlight.string #DD0000 #DD0000 html_errors On On ignore_repeated_errors Off Off ignore_repeated_source Off Off ignore_user_abort Off Off implicit_flush Off Off include_path .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php log_errors On On log_errors_max_len 1024 1024 magic_quotes_gpc On On magic_quotes_runtime Off Off magic_quotes_sybase Off Off mail.add_x_header On On mail.force_extra_parameters no value no value mail.log no value no value max_execution_time 30 30 max_file_uploads 20 20 max_input_nesting_level 64 64 max_input_time 60 60 max_input_vars 1000 1000 memory_limit 128M 128M open_basedir no value no value output_buffering no value no value output_handler no value no value post_max_size 8M 8M precision 14 14 realpath_cache_size 4M 4M realpath_cache_ttl 120 120 register_argc_argv On On register_globals Off Off register_long_arrays On On report_memleaks On On report_zend_debug On On request_order no value no value safe_mode Off Off safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value safe_mode_gid Off Off safe_mode_include_dir no value no value sendmail_from no value no value sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i serialize_precision 100 100 short_open_tag On On SMTP localhost localhost smtp_port 25 25 sql.safe_mode Off Off track_errors Off Off unserialize_callback_func no value no value upload_max_filesize 8M 8M upload_tmp_dir /tmp /tmp user_dir no value no value user_ini.cache_ttl 300 300 user_ini.filename .user.ini .user.ini variables_order EGPCS EGPCS xmlrpc_error_number 0 0 xmlrpc_errors Off Off y2k_compliance On On zend.enable_gc On On

$file1 = fopen('../images/flags/imNum.txt','c');

fclose($file1);
}
