PHP - Upload Image To Server Help

Hi

I have a form which is used to upload files to my server, now i need to move files to another server as soon they are uploaded, but move_uploaded_file will work with local server where form has been submitted.

 i was thinking to add some ftp functions to upload that file to remote server but is there any better way?  that user dont notice ftp connection timing. i wants to use less ftp connections and user should not notice delay timing for image upload.

Thanks  for any suggestion.

Hi Guys

I don't why it happen. probably i missed out something.

Here is my code.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if($_REQUEST["xtvt"]=="addEdit")
{
$sql02="INSERT INTO attachment (remarks, attached_by, attached_date)
      VALUES('".$_REQUEST["remarks"]."', '".$_SESSION["SESSION_ID"]."', now())";
$res02=mysql_query($sql02);

//--------- attach file ----------------------------
$name = $_FILES["file"]["name"]; 
if ($name != "")
{
$selectDB="SELECT max(id) AS id FROM attachment";
$qryDB= @$res1=mysql_query($selectDB);
$fetchDB=mysql_fetch_array($qryDB);

$maxid=$fetchDB[0];
$result=move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload//" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
}
$update_faultLog = "UPDATE attachment SET attachment='$name' WHERE id='$maxid'";
$res1=mysql_query($update_faultLog);
}
}
?>

<table width="625" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="78">Select File <span class="style1">*</span></td>
    <td width="5">:</td>
    <td width="539"><input type="file" name="file" id="file"/></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Remarks <span class="style1">*</span></td>
    <td>:</td>
    <td><pre><textarea name="remarks" id="remarks" cols="45" rows="3"></textarea></pre></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input type="reset" id="bttnReset" name="bttnReset" value="Reset" onclick="Reset()"/>
<input type="button" id="bttnAdd" name="bttnAdd" value="Add" onclick="addEdit()"/></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Its work at localhost but not when i put at server...

please help me...

Thank You

I designed a web form that takes as input a file and that should upload that file on the server. The file is located on the client machine. The page containing the web form is handled by PHP script.

I found out (reading 9483658954 forum topics so far) that there are 2 methods for getting a file uploaded. The first one is using FTP, and the second one using $_FILES variable. Unfortunately i have complains regarding both of the methods.

Firstly, when attempting to upload the file using FTP it seems that rather the FTP server is calling "upload" a simple copy action (because the only successful thing i could do with FTP was to copy a file from location A to location B, both A and B being on the server) or I don't know to use FTP (which is probably the right answer). Then, when using $_FILES variable, I was forced to include ' enctype="multipart/form-data" ' in the form tag. After a long documentation I finally figured out that by including the enctype blah blah, the $_POST and $_FILES variables were NULL after the form was submitted.Still can't understand why!



Are there any other methods for uploading a file from the client machine to the server? Can I get a competent script for this?

i have added a member area to my wordpress site.  everything works good, login, edit, delete, etc.  But when i upload the logout.php file to the godaddy server, it starts logging me out on every page.  The programs work fine without the logout file, but as soon as it is uploaded it keeps logging out.

here is the logout.php i am using

<?php
  // If the user is logged in, delete the session vars to log them out
  session_start();
  if (isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
    // Delete the session vars by clearing the $_SESSION array
    $_SESSION = array();

    // Delete the session cookie by setting its expiration to an hour ago (3600)
    if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
      setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 3600);
    }

    // Destroy the session
    session_destroy();
  }

  // Delete the user ID and username cookies by setting their expirations to an hour ago (3600)
  setcookie('user_id', '', time() - 3600);
  setcookie('username', '', time() - 3600);

  // Redirect to the home page
  $home_url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/my-account/';
   header('Location: ' . $home_url);
?>

i have looked around the internet but haven't found any solutions. Please help.  Thank you

Hi, ive recently created a gallery website and im happy with the way everything currently works. However the main drawback is the site uploads using a html webfom which is great for remote users or the odd image.

However, as i want to mass upload my existing collection i will need the ability to read a selected folder and then to carry out all the same processes that existed from the existing html form upload.

Im also using gdlibrary and checking file types to ensure they are within my allowed list, but im wondering if there are any other common security alerts i should be aware of to keep things a little bit safer if/when i publish outside of my LAN.

So in a nut shell i need some assistance with changing my upload process to work for more than one file at a time, ideally by reading a folder, or at least reading X amount of files at a time - processing them then moving onto next batch of files in the list.  Then the next part i need help with is checking/improving basic security of the system

i have php at server side and c++ at client side.what i am trying to do is to constantly look for files on server in folder on server if there’s a file in folder then download it on client side and delete it from server folder
this will happen again and again after 5minutes if a file is present on server in folder then download it and delete from server then in c++ goto sleep again fro 5 minutes and after 5 minutes do all this again if no file present in folder on server then simply do nothing.

My server is Linux/Apache/PHP.   When a file is uploaded, I use PHP's finfo_open to confirm that the file have the correct file extension matches and delete them if it doesn't match.  I also which file mimi types and size could be uploaded.   Things I do with the files include: Upload user's files and store them in some public directory (/var/www/html/users_public_directory/), and allow other users to directly download them. Upload user's files and store them in some private directory (/var/www/users_private_directory/), and allow other users to download them using X-Sendfile. Upload user's ZIP files and convert them to PDF files (unzip the ZIP file, and uses Libreoffice and Imagemagick's convert to convert them to PDFs). From the server's prospective, what are the risks of allowing users to upload files?  Are there some file types which are more dangerous to the server?  Could they be executed on the server, and if so, how could this be prevented?

How can i edit just one image at on time with a multiple image upload form? I have the images being stored in a folder and the path being stored in MySQL. I also have the files being uploaded with a unique id. My issue is that I want to be able to pass the values of what is already in $name2 $name3 $name4 if I only want to edit $name1. I don't want to have to manually update the 4 images. Here is the PHP:
Code: [Select]
<?php

require_once('storescripts/connect.php');
mysql_select_db($database_phpimage,$phpimage);
$uploadDir = 'upload/';
if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{


foreach ($_FILES as $file)
{

    $fileName = $file['name'];
    $tmpName = $file['tmp_name'];
    $fileSize = $file['size'];
    $fileType = $file['type'];

    if ($fileName != ""){
        $filePath = $uploadDir;
        $fileName = str_replace(" ", "_", $fileName);

        //Split the name into the base name and extension
        $pathInfo = pathinfo($fileName);
        $fileName_base = $pathInfo['fileName'];
        $fileName_ext = $pathInfo['extension'];

        //now we re-assemble the file name, sticking the output of uniqid into it
        //and keep doing this in a loop until we generate a name that 
        //does not already exist (most likely we will get that first try)
        do {
           $fileName = $fileName_base . uniqid() . '.' . $fileName_ext;
        } while (file_exists($filePath.$fileName));

$file_names [] = $fileName;

        $result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath.$fileName);
    }


if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}
$fileinsert[] = $filePath;
}
}

$mid   = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['mid']));
$cat   = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['cat']));
$item  = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['item']));
$price = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['price']));

               (mid, cid, item, price, about, name1, name2, name3, name4)
           VALUES
               ('$mid', '$cat', '$item', '$price', '$about', '$values[0]', '$values[1]', '$values[2]', '$values[3]')
           ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

I have a working image upload script that uploads, renames the file and adds filename to the database.

is it possible to include some sort of image resize code? if so can anyone point me in the right direction or better still show some example code and explain how it works etc.

below is my working code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$rand = mt_rand(1,9999999);

$max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB) 
    $fileName = basename($_FILES['uploaded']['name']);
$errors = array();
$target = "gallery/";
$fileBaseName = substr($fileName, 0, strripos($fileName, '.'));

   // Get the extension from the filename.
   $ext = substr($fileName, strpos($fileName,'.'), strlen($fileName)-1); 
 
   //$newFileName = md5($fileBaseName) . $ext;
   $newFileName = $target . $rand . "_" . $member_id.$ext;

Many thanks to phpfreaks again.

hello friends,

while clicking the form all the information goes to database, I have one image upload field,
when cliking the submit button, i would like 'image name' to go in database and file to go in
/upload folder, i have tried this for hours and gave up,

if anyone help me in this, i would be very greatful

I need code for upload images for php as well as to edit that image

Hi,

Im rather new to php and really unable to get the above to work. Everything works apart from the image being resized. File is uploaded, and the image name is printed into the SQL database. But i cant for the life of me get the image to go to 300x200? If you could help me i would be very grateful

My code for the form processing page is attached. Ive put a few line breaks into the code as to where i think is the issue. I just cant seem to resize the image. Does the image resize need to come before the part it writes the image to the server or can this be done afterwards? Please help.

P.S - Thanks in advance

Hello everyone.i'm beginner in programming.How to make page that user can upload their own image..

my database

table:product
product_id (PK)
product_price
product_name
product_picture

anyone can help me..thank for advance:)

I have a PHP script that modifies images that are stored in a local folder related to $startingFolder.

Essentially, I can use
 $startingFolder = 'anyFolder/';
 $finalFolder = 'endResult/';

To manage the variables and direct the source and destination of the scripts actions from this starting point.

I'm trying to extend my capabilities so that I can use the script while uploading images.

Rather than UPLOAD several images to  $startingFolder and then run the script, I thought it would be more efficient to handle this in one script.

However, I am having trouble making the CONNECTION so that this can be accomplished.

What is the proper way to 'grab' the files during upload?  How can I access the files during the process?

I have a working HTML
<input type='file' name='upload[]' multiple >

And have tried
 $startingFolder = '$_FILE[upload]';
but I am missing the mark somewhere.
Please help.
