[RESOLVED] Multi-Level Folder Upload

[tuf-web_co_uk]

Hi.

I've been using a script for a while now to simply upload to my root directory and the folders inside my root directory.
But i wish to adapt this so that i can upload to the folders within the root folders, as the current method does not allow for this.

The current script i'm using is shown below;

<?php
if (empty($_POST['submit'])) {
	$dir = "/home/theuther/public_html";
	$files = scandir($dir);

$folders = array();

foreach ($files as $dir) {
	if ($dir != "..") {
		if (is_dir($dir)) {
			$folders[] = $dir;

		}
	}
}

echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"POST\" ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\">";
echo "<select name=\"folder\" size=\"1\">";
foreach ($folders as $val) {
	echo "<option>".$val."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
echo "<input type=\"file\" name=\"file\" size=\"30\"><br>";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit\"></form>";

}
else {

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) {
	$where = $_POST['folder']."/".$_FILES['file']['name'];
	echo $_POST['folder']."<Br><Br>".$where."<br><br>";
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$where);
	echo "Your file has been uploaded successfully.";
}
else {
	echo "Could not upload file";
}

}

?>

could someone please tell me the best way to approach this task.

Thanks for your time, Jon.

unfortunately, folders are hierarchical in structure. this makes a folder structure difficult to represent with a simple select element on a form. second, your code that fetches your folder names is going to have to be altered to be recursive. your code (here) doesn't go inside folders inside of folders...it just lists one folder's worth:

    $dir = "/home/theuther/public_html"; 
    $files = scandir($dir); 

$folders = array(); 

foreach ($files as $dir) { 
    if ($dir != "..") { 
        if (is_dir($dir)) { 
            $folders[] = $dir; 

        } 
    } 
} 

there is a recurvis scandir function on this page which you could possibly adapt:

thanks, i picked the first one i found and it didnt work but after some code changes i've got it working fine

<?php

function scandir_recursive($directory) {
	$folderContents = array();
	$directory = realpath($directory);
	foreach (scandir($directory) as $folderItem) {
		if ($folderItem != "." AND $folderItem != "..") {
			if (is_dir($directory."/".$folderItem)) {
				$folderContents[$folderItem] = scandir_recursive($directory."/".$folderItem);
			}
			else {
				if (is_dir($folderItem)) {
					$folderContents[] = $folderItem;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return $folderContents;
}

print_r(scandir_recursive("."));

?>

how could i get this to show the complete directory to the folder, instead of just storing it in an array.
i tried something, but it failed completely so it isnt worth showing.

anyone have any ideas how to make it show something like
/includes/main

for each folder and its subfolders?

thanks again, Jon

this might work:

$all_folders = scandir_recursive(".");

function report_folders($current_name, $arg_array) {
  foreach($arg_array as $keyname=>$contents) {
    if (is_array($contents)) {
      report_folders($keyname, $contents);
    } else {
      echo $current_name . '/' . $contents . '<br>';
    }
  } // foreach subfolder
} // report_folders()

i haven't tested it

[tuf-web_co_uk]

i'm not sure how to call that function so i just used

report_folders("root", $all_folders);

but that doesnt work, it just brings up a white page

ok i screwed up my function. recursion is tricky. i don't have php5 so i wrote the cript below. you need to work a little harder on this. with 570 some odd posting on this site, you should know more. you're letting me do all the work 🙁

<?

function scandir($dir) {
  $result = array();
  if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      $result[] = $file;
    }
    closedir($handle);
  } else {
    die('directory did not open');
  }
  return $result;
}
function scandir_recursive($directory) {
  $folderContents = array();
//  $directory = realpath($directory);
  $scan_results = scandir($directory);
  foreach ($scan_results as $folderItem) {
    if ($folderItem != "." AND $folderItem != "..") {
      if (is_dir($directory."/".$folderItem)) {
        $folderContents[$folderItem] = scandir_recursive($directory."/".$folderItem);
      } else {
        if (is_dir($folderItem)) {
          $folderContents[] = $folderItem;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return $folderContents;
}

function report_folders($arg_array, $arg_existing_path='') {
  echo $arg_existing_path . '<br>';
  foreach($arg_array as $keyname=>$contents) {
    if (is_array($contents)) {
      report_folders($contents, $arg_existing_path . '/' . $keyname);
    } else {
      echo $arg_existing_path . '/' . $current_name . '/' . $contents . '<br>';
    }
  } // foreach subfolder
} // report_folders()


$dir_to_list = ".";
$all_folders = scandir_recursive($dir_to_list);
report_folders($all_folders, $dir_to_list);
?>

you're right i should, but i'm not a really big coder, i just tend to do the same thing over and over again.

i hardly ever code things like this. sorry about that.

on the other hand, this works fine now, i've got php5 (even though my host did get rid of it :S), so i had to delete the scandir function.

thanks for your help.
