Sumbiting multiple files??

gat

Hello, As part of my image gallery website....(that i keep asking help for ....i know!?)

I would like an upload page wher a user can fill in name, email, details, etc...

and also have about 5 browse buttons so that they can submit up to 5 images.

And i dont want them go go straight to the DB, because i wish to review them first. So i would like all th edetails to be sent to my email address.

if any one has similar code, i would be very greatful if they would post it here.

many thanks.
gareth.

I have a similar function in my recently developed CMS project WebPanel.

www.wpcms.com

Thanks, but i couldnt find anything relevent in your website,
maybe i was looking in the wrong place.

Its just a simple submission form, but with multilpe browse buttons, so the user can attatch 5 or so images.

And all that sent to my email?

Alexandros

This is some code (functions) I used in WebPanel (www.wpcms.com) to handle any flat files including pictures. Use it as a refference. To send an email just use the "mail()" function.

Sorry..... I posted some irrelevant code here by mistake. I post the right code in the next post.

gat, it's simple. Find an example with 1 file upload. And then modify it by adding more input fields with type="file" and different names. Modify the PHP script which process the input (store files or whatever).

Alexandros, you'd better read the question first before sending all that stuff about your projects. I don't see any relation between file uploading and piece of code you sent 😕

Alexandros

Dear yuraupt.

You don't need to flame me. I have just made a mistake 😃

The right code comes below but it is rather complicated.

function upload_flat_file($theme, $topic, $lastID, $fname, $dchoice)
{global $urlroot;
$fname=wfilter($fname);
if ($dchoice == "p") {$dlink = $urlroot. "/index.php?action=vthread&subject=$theme&topic=$topic&post=$lastID";$filename = "p". $lastID.".php";
	$flat_path1 = "../pages/f".$theme; $flat_path = $flat_path1."/t". $topic;  

	if (!is_dir($flat_path1)) mkdir ($flat_path1, 0777); 
	if (!is_dir($flat_path)) mkdir ($flat_path, 0777); 
	if (!is_dir("$flat_path/p".$lastID)) mkdir ("$flat_path/p".$lastID, 0777); 

}
if ($dchoice == "t") {$dlink = $urlroot. "/index.php?action=vthread&theme=$theme&topic=$topic"; $filename = "t". $topic. ".php";
$flat_path = "../pages/f".$theme; if (!is_dir($flat_path)) mkdir ($flat_path, 0777); 
}
if ($dchoice == "f") {$dlink = $urlroot. "/index.php?action=vtopic&theme=$theme"; $filename = "f". $theme. ".php";
$flat_path = "../pages"; 
 if (!is_dir($flat_path)) mkdir ($flat_path, 0777); 
if (!is_dir("../$fname")) mkdir("../$fname", 0777); 
write_to_file("../$fname/index.php", $dlink, "h"); 
}

$filename = "$flat_path/$filename";
$filename = (string)$filename; 
write_to_file($filename, $dlink, "d");

if (!empty($fname))  {
$filename = "../links/$fname";
if (!is_dir($filename)) mkdir($filename, 0777); 
$filename = $filename. "/index.php"; 
write_to_file($filename, $dlink, "h");
}

}

😃 😃 😃

yeh, i think that code is far to aimed at your own variables and stuff, im still a noob really....and couldnt change all that.?

If someone could post simple subbmission & upload code here that would be great. Or point me in the direction of a webpage that has what im after.

thanks.,

Learn here about file uploading
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

gat, I enhanced the example from www.php.net to upload 2 files:

upload.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Files Upload</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

process.php:

<?php
// In PHP earlier then 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead of $_FILES.
// In PHP earlier then 4.0.3, use copy() and is_uploaded_file() instead of move_uploaded_file

// edit this variable and set 
$uploaddir = '';

print "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES);
// save the first file
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile1']['name'])) {
    print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.  Here's some more debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
} else {
    print "Possible file upload attack!  Here's some debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
}
// save the second file
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile2']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile2']['name'])) {
    print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.  Here's some more debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
} else {
    print "Possible file upload attack!  Here's some debugging info:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
}

?>

Do not forget to set the appropriate access rights for the dir where you upload to.

Thats great Yurapt, BUT......

I would like the files to be mailed to me EMAIL, and i cant see any Mailto function in the code.

It looks like that is more code to upload to a directory.

Can it be easily modified to be emailed to my address??

can any one help, the code is above this post.

thanks.

Hello gat,

Download PHP email class from
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

It allows to send emails with HTML formatting, with attachments, etc from PHP.

Here is modified example how to email uploaded files:

<?php

require_once("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");

// edit this variable and set 
$mail_to = "your@email.com";
$mail_to_name = "Your name here"; // optional
$mail_from = "nobody@somewhere.com";
$mail_from_name = "Nobody"; // optinal

// create email
$mail = new phpmailer();
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->From     = $mail_from;
$mail->FromName = $mail_from_name;
$mail->Subject  = "E-mail uploaded files";
$mail->Body     = "<b>Hi there!</b><br>
find uploaded files in the attachments";
$mail->AddAddress($mail_to, $mail_to_name);
// attach the files
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['userfile1']['name']);
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['userfile2']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['userfile2']['name']);

if($mail->Send()){
    echo "Uploaded files have been emailed successfully!";
}
else{
    echo "There has been a mail error sending to " . $mail_to . "<br>";
}

?>

ok, but if i download this thing....it will work on my home pc fine, but when i upload to my server, will that too need this mail addition thing?

yuraupt

Sorry, I don't understand your queston 😕

gat

yeh, sorry.....i felt my self not explain that very well.

Ok, so i need this 'phpmailer' (im installing that now)

I was just worrying, when i upload my site...will the server that holds the site also need this phpmailer addition?

yuraupt

Yes, you do.

phpmailer is open source PHP project. You can write your own PHP code to send emails with attachments or whatever or you can borrow this one which is already tested, well developed and easy to use.

So, upload phpmailer to the server as well as your own developed code.
