PHP - Fopen Multiple Files, Then Select One

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible and not too messy to have a single form page (html) and have it post to 2 or more PHP files? Surely this is something that is desirable and accomplished at some point, right?

Thanks.

Richard

Hi Guys,

I have a HTML form which posts to a PHP mail script page. This data then emails to the company email address.

I have two file attachments on my form: CV and Photo ID

How do I integrate my php mail script to upload and then email these TWO files as TWO attachements on the email?

$fileatt_cv
$fileatt_id

I have tried a few methods that I found on Google but they dont work 

Code: [Select]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a problem sharing some variables I have across a few files.

My first file (index.php) calls an ajax request for (display.php) and sends a few variables to it. All fine so far. display.php then does its thing and displays the content on index.php as it should. Now in display.php I need a variable to be passed back to index.php for use in a menu.
I've tried setting a session variable in display.php but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. I also can't use get or post as I don't want to refresh the page.

Really scratching my head over this one!

I need to be able to upload multiple files with the use of one form. Right now I have support for one file and it works great. I am stuck on what route I should take for times sake and reliability and functionality. Can I run each file on its own through the PHP script to upload the file; I would have to create a loop to run through the script as many times as there are files. OR Do I create new functionality and add the files through the use of an array?

This is where I am getting the ARRAY idea: http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/2.html

This is the PHP code that is submitting the image and uploading to file system. This is what I would use to loop through multiple files if I take the loop method.

<?
header("location: /classifieds/index.php");

echo '<html><center>';

//first lets upload any files that were selected//
$date = date("m/d/y",time());

//check that we have a file
if((!empty($_FILES["uploaded_file"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0)) {
  
  //Check if the file is JPEG image and it's size is less than 350Kb
  $filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
  $ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
  if (($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") && 
    ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"] < 2500000)) {
    
    //Determine the path to which we want to save this file
      $newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/uploads/'.$filename;
      
      //Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
      if (!file_exists($newname)) {
        
        //Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
        if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
            //strip off file path for $newname variable so path is not accessible via html//
            $tempnewname = explode('/', $newname);
            echo $tempnewname;
            $newname=$tempnewname[9].'/'.$tempnewname[10];
           echo "It's done! The file has been saved as: ".$filename;
        } else {
           echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
        }
      } else {
         //echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]." already exists";//
         $timestampname = str_replace('.jpg', date('j-n-Y_g:i:s').'.jpg', (basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name'])));

Good day all.

I am looking for guidence.

I am using phpexcell to format an excell file. all working 100% What should i be looking to do when i want to edit and format multiple files in a directory. about 200 excell documents all the same and with same formatting?

Found this code for reading, but lets say row c3:i3 i want bold and size 14 in all the excell files

.
.
.

$path = "..."; ///the folder path
		$theFilePath = "";		
		
		$theFileName = glob ($path . "*.xls");
		
		
		//Read more than one file here
		for($j = 0; $j< count($theFileName); $j++) {

		$theFilePath = $theFileName[$j];
		
		$excel = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
		$excel->setOutputEncoding('CP1251');
		$excel->setUTFEncoder('mb_convert_encoding');
		error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);			
			
			//echo $theFileName[$j];; 
			
			echo "<br />";
			echo $theFilePath; 
			echo "<br />";
			 

			
			$excel->read($theFilePath);

                          .
                          .
                          .// Do what u want display here

                       }

 

So I am tryting to create a script to upload a CSV file into a MySql DB. It has like 10K records into SQL   My Code is copy below ...   I get the following errors.   Line 16 is the $handle line 18 is the While Statement   Error: Warning: fopen(): Filename cannot be empty in C:\local\htdocs\ADPStorage\DemandCSV.php on line 16

Warning: fopen()expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\local\htdocs\ADPStorage\DemandCSV.php on line 18       I use my script for another table and it worked like a charm. Less data and less colums do.   Bad Code: (good Code sample below. this one)

Please help and thx in advance   ~J

I have this code and its downloading file nicely. But I want to show a progress bar while downloading file from external server. My existing code shows progress bar but its not effective (ex. if i try to download two media file, one video and another audio, and video size is larger than audio size the audio finishes first and the progress bar shows 100% also suddenly it drops to 50% as the video is still downloading ). I mean it actually shows two progress and I need one. If I could get average percentage value of two progress that would be better. Any suggestion regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
 

<?php
set_time_limit ( 0 );
function define_progress_callback($i) {
global $conn;

curl_setopt($conn[$i], CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, function ($resource,$download_size, $downloaded, $upload_size, $uploaded)
{
    if($download_size > 0)
        $progress = round($downloaded / $download_size  * 100);
        echo '<script language="javascript">$(".loader").loader("setProgress", '.$progress.');</script>';
        echo str_pad("",1024," ");
        flush();
        usleep(20000);

});
}

$urls = array("http://example.com/file.mp3",
                "http:/example.com/file.mp4");
$save_to='./tmp/';
$conn = array();
$fp = array();
$mh = curl_multi_init();

    foreach ($urls as $i => $url) {
    $g = $save_to . basename($url);
    $conn[$i]=curl_init($url);
    $fp[$i]=fopen ($g, "wb");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);    // No certificate
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
        curl_setopt ($conn[$i], CURLOPT_FILE, $fp[$i]);
    curl_setopt ($conn[$i], CURLOPT_HEADER ,0);
    curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,60);
    curl_setopt ($conn[$i], CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 10);
    curl_setopt($conn[$i], CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
    define_progress_callback($i);
    curl_multi_add_handle ($mh,$conn[$i]);
    }

    do {
    $n=curl_multi_exec($mh,$active);
    }
    while ($active);
    foreach ($urls as $i => $url) {
    curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$conn[$i]);
    curl_close($conn[$i]);
    fclose($fp[$i]);
    }
curl_multi_close($mh);

no code tags meant auto-embedding of mp3

hello!

in my header.php file i have the following line of code: Code: [Select]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $pageCSS; ?>">
in the document proper, i have the following at the top of the page: Code: [Select]
<?php $pageCSS="_css/compare.css"; ?>
this works as expected and it's clean and neat.  what i want to know is how i can adapt this to pass MULTIPLE  JavaScript files through it.  would it be best to pass an array of files and then step through the array?  would be nice to be able to pass a simple comma-delimited list.  any help would be appreciated.

WR!

Good day.   I have just written my first php phpexcell file importing into mysql without errors. now my next step is to try and read multiple excell files in a directory " files are same format" and import into mysql.   Heres my code so far.

<?php
$db_host = "localhost";$db_user = "root";$db_pass = "";$db_name ="kk";$db_table = "test";
require '/Classes/PHPExcel.php';
require_once '/Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load('Amersfoort_WR.xlsx');
foreach ($objPHPExcel->getWorksheetIterator() as $worksheet) 
{
$worksheetTitle     = $worksheet->getTitle();
$highestRow         = $worksheet->getHighestRow(); // e.g. 10
$highestColumn      = $worksheet->getHighestColumn(); // e.g 'F'

$highestColumnIndex = PHPExcel_Cell::columnIndexFromString($highestColumn);
$nrColumns = ord($highestColumn) - 64;
echo "File ".$worksheetTitle." has ";
   echo $nrColumns . ' columns';
   echo ' y ' . $highestRow . ' rows.';
   echo "$cellValue";
    $link = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
if(!$link) die ('Could not connect to database: '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name,$link);
    for ($row = 2; $row <= $highestRow; ++ $row) 
{
    $val=array();
    for ($col = 0; $col < $highestColumnIndex; ++ $col) 
    {
        $cell = $worksheet->getCellByColumnAndRow($col, $row);
        $val[] = $cell->getValue();
    }
        $sql = "insert into test (F1, F2, F3, F4) values('".$val['0']."', '".$val['1']."', '".$val['2']."','".$val['3']."')";
        mysql_query($sql);
} 
}
mysql_close($link);

Hi guys i am kinda stuck at a part where i want a download button to prompt out two download windows in a click. Currently i am able to prompt out one download window only. I have tried putting another header line of Content Disposition but it doesn't work..i will appreciate if you guys can help me out, thanks!

The desired scenario will be WinSCP.exe download prompt will appear first, follow by auditgroup.bat


$file1 = "WinSCP.exe";
$file = "auditgroup.bat";
     //Set headers
     header("Cache-Control: private");
     header("Expires: 0");
     header("Pragma: cache");
     header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
     header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
     header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
     header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: ASCII");
     //Read the file from disk
     readfile($file);

Hi guys,

i have an array of data, with customers and their pics.
something like:

Quote

array (customerid=>customerpic,...........);

something like
Quote

123412=>'https://mylink.com/mypic343545.tiff'
433453=>'https://mylink.com/mypic3434345.tiff'


my goal is to:
1. go through the array and download all the pics, with names like customerid.tiff
2. when done renaming, make a zip file ON-THE-FLY
3. download the zip file to my PC.

i know i can use file_put_contents and things like that, but i am not able to really connect the dots, especially the zipping of them all on the fly.....anyone has an idea on this?

This may sound like a very stupid question, but I can't find a clear answer anywhere.

I'm making my first dive in OOP and all the tutorials only really show basic usage. They define a class, and show how to use it in a file.

My question is how does it work to use an object throughout a program? Is it available everywhere or do I store things in sessions and start a new object on each page?

For example: logging in a user. If I created an instance after confirming the credentials, would that same instance be available for use in say index.php, or would I just pass a session over and create a new instance on each page?

Again, sorry if this seems dumb to some people.

Hi there, I have a form submitting to a mysql database. It was requested that I put a multiple file upload option on it. So I added the fields to the form and the database and added the upload script to the form processing file (and of course created the folder on the server with proper permissions to upload to). It should upload the file(s) to the folder on the server and insert the filename into the database. I keep getting:

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

This leads me to believe the upload script isn't working properly. If someone could take a look at it I would be a very happy guy.

This is the upload script: (insert.php)
Code: [Select]
<?php

$con = mysql_connect("server","user","pass");

if (!$con)

  {

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

  }



mysql_select_db("db", $con);



$dateSubmitted = date("Y-m-d"); 

$target = "attachments/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc1']['name']); 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc2']['name']); 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc3']['name']); 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc4']['name']); 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc5']['name']); 




$sql="INSERT INTO investments (active, project, inv_amount, account_type, prefix, first_name, last_name, address1, address2, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, email, referral_fee, ref_agent, ship_name, ship_address, ship_city, ship_province, ship_postal, ship_country, notes, dateSubmitted, doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4, doc5)

 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 



if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))

  {

  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

  }

//echo "1 record added";

header("Location: ../forms.php");



mysql_close($con)

?>

Thanks in advance.
