i don't believe that is no way for uploading all dir with subdirs via PHP !,anybody?

[marconi8]

cziort, nu nie mozet bit takogo

my teory of this what i want is next,

1) in the javascript i write the path for instance C:\test\

in my C:\test\ directory are more than one thousand files
next my javascript must read this directory and make dynamically something like this

<form>
<input type=text name='file_1' value='c:\test\file_1'>
<input type=text name='file_2' value='c:\test\file_2'>
<input type=text name='file_3' value='c:\test\file_3'>
</form>

step two is: now i submit this form and my php script start copy all files to my specified dir on the server and now question

 HOW CAN JAVASCRIPT READ SPECIFIED DIR ( READ ALL FILES FROM THIS DIR)

[jmcneese]

look at domain name to make sure

this is a PHP forum, not a JavaScript forum.

[marconi8]

i understand that this forum is dedicated for php, but i only want find decision for my problem and i only has spoke your mind

There is no provision in the http protocol for uploading multiple files (or an entire directory).

Why would it need to? We already have ftp.

[marconi8]

no , no i bore in mind that my files are copied trough php

for instance 

    for i = 0 to count(array(with filenames)) do
    begin

       copy(array[i] to SERVER.my.path)         
       array[i] = 'path of local file , i mean file stored on my pc'


    end


for one file ( that i specified by itself ) all works fine , 

BUT I DON'T WANT indicate ALL MY ONE THOUSAND FILES

anybody can help me, ??????🙁((((((((((((((( please

Like I said: http don't do that. And no browser out there will bundle all the files from a specified directory into an http request for you, any more than you can write a default filename into a "file" form field.

And if you can't get the browser to send the files to the server, it doesn't matter doo-wah-diddly what software you have running there.

Why in Ralf's name would you want to use an http client to upload a thousand files for, anyway? Like I said, that's what ftp is for.

[marconi8]

ok i explain why i don't want to use ftp, my project is strongly dynamic and all that must be uploaded on my server must be marketed trough my scripts

you said that http doesn't allow multiple uploads of files , why ?
my script perfectly works with multiple uploads of files but my script is other from script that i better wanted

for instance i have two posted strings
c:\file_1
c:\file_2
and in my cycle they are copied on server

this all works perfectly, i said that now my main problem is

  1. HOW TO GET THE SPECIFIED DIRECTORY FILE NAMES LIST and put this all items for instance to text file 

   i think that this problem can solve by JAVASCRIPT , have you any idea about this ???

thanks,

Neither the browser nor Javascript are allowed to go nosing around in the client's filesystem - it would be a massive security hole if they did. And that's exactly what they'd need to do ("I've been given a directory name - let's see what files are in it") for you to achieve what you want.

You're going to have to look a bit further afield than HTML and Javascript for you to do what you want.

[marconi8]

you want to say that in JAVASCRIPT is no function thats can read all files in specified directory ????

[Wave]

mozhet bit' prosche upload archive with multiple files, and unpack it on server-side?

This is the definition of Javascript. Unsecure, allowed to do many things it shouldn't.. =)

Anyways, to the point:

You can write a Java ServerSide Page (JSP) (providing you have something that can run your JSP's) that will allow you to select more than one file in the dialog box and send more than one file. I've seen it done. Technically only one file is being sent over the internet at a time, true, but it accomplishes what you want. I know PHP or Javascript won't be able to handle this.

cheers,

edit: OK. I just re-read your first question/problem and this might be a solution for you: 1) Determine which files you want to upload based on whatever you want, 2) ZIP them into ONE file. 3) You can have javascript simulate a form post to PHP including this file, 4) Have PHP unzip the file (via the shell command 'unzip').

[marconi8]

hei Wave you have a good idea, but now i have a question how to make this

  1) for instance i have one thousand files and i want to pack them

  2) now i easly copy packed archive  to the server side


 3) and now i want to unpack them on server side

QUESTION 1: what kind of this archive must be RAR, ZIP, TAR, ???

QUESTION 2: how to this archive unpack on the server

my server is LINUX MADRAKA 8.2 i use php 4.2.2

of this method i hear for the first time and i don't now any of this please could you help me ??????

a suppose zip is enough, cos this one widely used on win platform, if you wish to remember about linux, use gzip too

so...

2. you should check file mime type and use appropriate module

for zip - http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php
for gzip - http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.zlib.php

if your php build compiled without this modules, you must to recompile it.

it seems like a hard way, but i think it does not harder then trying to upload thousand files via HTTP POST 🙂

just start and ask, if something looks like a problem 🙂

[marconi8]

am very bad in english do you speak russian or polish ????

[Wave]

you know, my english is not perfect too... and russian is my native, but forum is english, so i must write english 🙁
