PHP Upload Script

**Nate1n22** · 11-21-2009 08:37 PM

I have been following a video tutorial on how to make an image upload website, but he hasn't finished it yet and I went to get it done tonight.
index.php code:

PHP Code:


<html>

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

    <input type="file" name="myfile"><p>

    <input type="submit" value="Upload">

</form>



</html>

upload.php code:

PHP Code:


<?php



// properties of the uploaded file

$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"];

$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"];

$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"];

$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"];

$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"];



if ($error > 0)

    die("Error uploading file! Code $error.");

else

{

    

if($type = "video/avi") //conditions for the file

{

  die("That format is not allowed");    

}

else

{

 move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$name);

 echo "Upload complete";

 }

}



?>

At the moment the file you upload goes into the uploaded folder, but it does not show the user who uploaded the file the image.

You can view a live example here:

Thanks for the help

Try this...

PHP Code:


// properties of the uploaded file 
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"]; 
$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; 
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"]; 
$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"]; 
$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"]; 

if ($error > 0) {
    die("Error uploading file! Code $error."); 
} else  {    
 if($type = "video/avi") { 
  die("That format is not allowed");     
 } else  { 
  if(move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$name)) { 
    echo "Upload complete"; 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
 }  
}

Hopefully that solves the issue for you.

Now it is saying That format is not allowed, which I am uploading a .png
Last night it wasn't doing that

if($type = "video/avi") {

Should be:

PHP Code:


if($type == "video/avi") {

Remove the type checker so you can upload anything as follows

PHP Code:


// properties of the uploaded file 
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"]; 
$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; 
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"]; 
$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"]; 
$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"]; 

if ($error > 0) {
    die("Error uploading file! Code $error."); 
} else  {    
  if(move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$name)) { 
    echo "Upload complete"; 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
}

    echo "Upload complete"; 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
}

used that and it fixed the problem, but it still doesnt show the uploader the picture, it just shows "Upload Complete" which is should, but I want the image also. It shows the image in the "uploaded" folder when I view it in FileZilla.

Thanks

You'll need this...

PHP Code:


// properties of the uploaded file 
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"]; 
$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; 
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"]; 
$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"]; 
$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"]; 

if ($error > 0) {
    die("Error uploading file! Code $error."); 
} else  {    
  if(move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$name)) { 
    ?>
     <!-- Start Success HTML -->
     Upload complete <br/><br/>
     <img src="uploaded/<? echo $name; ?>" alt="Uploaded Image">
     <!-- End Success HTML -->
    <? 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
}

You can strip out and HTML you don't want (or add some) in between where I've commented it.

It works now, and the image uploads, but I would like it to upload the image to a randomized URL that someone can copy and paste.

**Nate1n22** · 11-23-2009 04:13 PM

Sorry for the double post, but I would like it like this
http://www.picrange.com/images/klz1259014403d.JPG

The klz1259014403d.JPG being the image

**jassinc** · 11-23-2009 04:20 PM

PHP Code:


<?
// properties of the uploaded file 
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"]; 
$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; 
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"]; 
$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"]; 
$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"]; 

if ($error > 0) {
    die("Error uploading file! Code $error."); 
} else  {   
  $ext = strtolower(substr($name, strrpos($name, "."))); // Get Extension
  $newname = time().rand(100,999).$ext; // Generate Random File Name
  if(move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$newname)) { 
    ?>
     <!-- Start Success HTML -->
     Upload complete <br/><br/>
     <img src="uploaded/<? echo $newname; ?>" alt="Uploaded Image">
     <!-- End Success HTML -->
    <? 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
}
?>

That didn't generate the random URL.
Upload.php code below:

PHP Code:


<?php
// properties of the uploaded file 
$name = $_FILES["myfile"]["name"]; 
$type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; 
$size = $_FILES["myfile"]["size"]; 
$temp = $_FILES["myfile"]["tmp_name"]; 
$error = $_FILES["myfile"]["error"]; 

if ($error > 0) {
    die("Error uploading file! Code $error."); 
} else  {   
  $ext = strtolower(substr($name, strrpos($name, "."))); // Get Extension
  $newname = time().rand(100,999).$ext; // Generate Random File Name
  if(move_uploaded_file($temp,"uploaded/".$newname)) { 
    ?>
     <!-- Start Success HTML -->
     Upload complete <br/><br/>
     <img src="uploaded/<? echo $newname; ?>" alt="Uploaded Image">
     <!-- End Success HTML -->
    <? 
  } else {
    echo "Failed to complete the upload";
  }
}
?>

I'd strongly suggest you learn the basics of PHP so you understand what is happening and can modify the script accordingly.

Go to Tizag.com and run through the php tutorials as you really should be able to read the code and have it read out the address. If you can't do that then you shouldn't be delving into PHP.

Thanks but I got it to work, it was something I didn't get but with a little tweaking it works how I want it to now.

Thanks all for the help
