RESOLVED Multi upload script

[SlayerACC]

Can anyone please help figure out how to get the 3 upload names out of the array and into a mysql database.?

or is there a better way of doing this altogether?

PHP Code:

<?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
$path1= "../files/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "../files/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "../files/".$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/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][1]."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][2]."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Use this code to display the error or success.

$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1];
$filesize3=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2];

if($filesize1 && $filesize2 && $filesize3 != 0)
{
echo "We have recieved your files";
}

else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////

// What files that have a problem? (if found)

if($filesize1==0) {
echo "There're something error in your first file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize2==0) {
echo "There're something error in your second file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize3==0) {
echo "There're something error in your third file";
echo "<BR />";
}

}

?>

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind...

I figured it out... shock of shocks.


Call a parade..


Thanks anyway.

What was your solution? Did it involve some kind of loop? This is how I would have done it.

PHP Code:

<?php 
$errors = array();
foreach($_FILES["ufile"]["error"] as $key => $error)
{
    if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
    {
        // common variables local to this loop
        $filename = $_FILES['ufile']['name'][$key];
        $filesize = $_FILES['ufile']['size'][$key];
        $filetype = $_FILES['ufile']['type'][$key];
        $path = "../files/".$filename;
        
        // does the file have a filesize? If so attempty to upload it
        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][$key], $path))
        {
            echo "File Name :".$filename."<br/>";  
            echo "File Size :".$filesize."<br/>";  
            echo "File Type :".$filetype."<br/>";  
            echo "<img src=\"$path\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><br/>";
        }
        else // there was a problem with a file, add the problem file to errors array
        {
            $errors[] = $filename." was not received.<br>";    
        }
    }
}

if(count($errors) == 0) // if the errors array size is 0 all files were uploaded.
{ 
    echo "We have recieved your files"; 
} 
else // echo out the files that had problems
{ 
    foreach($errors as $error)
    {
        echo $error;    
    }
} 
?>

move_uploaded_file is better to use as it does some validation to be sure it was a valid file upload.

However not as pretty as yours.. thanks by the way... very clean.

this is what got mine to work,

PHP Code:

<?php

$path1= "../files/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "../files/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "../files/".$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);



function reArrayFiles(&$file_post) {

    $file_ary = array();
    $file_count = count($file_post['name']);
    $file_keys = array_keys($file_post);

    for ($i=0; $i<$file_count; $i++) {
        foreach ($file_keys as $key) {
            $file_ary[$i][$key] = $file_post[$key][$i];
        }
    }

    return $file_ary;
}

if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']) {
    $file_ary = reArrayFiles($_FILES['ufile']);

    foreach ($file_ary as $file) {
        print 'File Name: ' . $file['name'];
        echo "<br/>";
        print 'File Type: ' . $file['type'];
        echo "<br/>";
        print 'File Size: ' . $file['size'];
        echo "<br/>";
        print "<img src=\"../files/".$file['name']."\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
        echo "<br/>";
    }
}

// Use this code to display the error or success.

$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1];
$filesize3=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2];

if($filesize1 && $filesize2 && $filesize3 != 0)
{
echo "We have recieved your files";

$array = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'];
foreach($array as $files)
{
  if (strlen($files)>0)
 {
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","pass");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }mysql_select_db("database", $con);$sql="INSERT INTO `files` (`files_id`, `filename`)
VALUES
('$_POST[files_id]','$files')";if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
echo "1 record added";
print "<br><br><a href=../index.php>back</a>";
mysql_close($con);

 }
}
}

else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////

// What files that have a problem? (if found)

if($filesize1==0) {
echo "There're something error in your first file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize2==0) {
echo "There're something error in your second file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize3==0) {
echo "There're something error in your third file";
echo "<BR />";
}



?>

Now to try to figure out how to add a button to create 10 browse boxes.. or one at a time dynamically.

$HTTP_POST_FILES is deprecated - OLD, very old. You shouldn't be using it as it's rumoured that it will be withdrawn in future versions of PHP.

Instead you should be using a different superglobal called $_FILES instead. If you don't and the servers PHP version is upgraded with a version that no longer supports $HTTP_POST_FILES then your code will stop working.

[SlayerACC]

That is great info.. I would have been mad if it stopped working.


Thanks Tango...

I will change some things around....

To further expand, its currently disable-able. Registered long arrays are a directive that I believe was introduced in 5.0, and is now gone as of 5.4. I can test it when I get home tonight, but I'm betting that the RAW is still available since there is no superglobal for it anyway (although it'd probably be better to pull from php://input instead), but the rest from get, post, cookie, files, etc are all gone.

So in other words, if you leave it as HTTP_POST_FILES, I'd expect that it'd fail to work much sooner than later.

Thanks all,


You are great as usual ... I would love to know how you guys seem to know everything..

anyway thanks.

3 key ingredients:

1) Time
2) Headscratching*
3) Experimenting
4) Learning to debug - theorise what might be happening and then find a way to test it somehow to see if you're right or wrong.

Thats all there is to it
