multiple files upload

[choubix]

hi all,

I was using a script to upload 1 image on my server.
I am now "upgrading" this script to be able to upload more than 1 pic at a time.

I am facing a problem now on this line (i think). when it comes to "writing" the pic on the server nothing happens...

move_uploaded_file($_FILES[image][tmp_name][$key],$uploaddir.'/'.$uploadname); 

in the following code:

<?php

session_start();

if (isset($_SESSION['level']) && $_SESSION['level'] == 2)
{
}
else
{
$_SESSION['error'] = "3";
header('Location: ../../error.php');
}

require("../../includes/config.php");
require('../../includes/functions.tpl.php');

while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES[image][name]))
{
    if(!empty($value))
    {
    $filename = $value;
    //echo $_FILES[image][name][$key];    equivalent to    print "$filename<br>";
    $uploaddir = "../../gifts/"; 

$allowed_ext = array( 'jpg', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'png' );  


$max_size = "50000"; 
$max_height = "300"; 
$max_width = "300"; 

$upload = ''; 


//get the file's extension
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES[image][name][$key]);
$extension = $ext['extension'];

//compare uploaded file with authorized extensions
    if (in_array($extension,$allowed_ext)) 
    {
    //check the file's size in kb
    if($_FILES[image][size][$key] > $max_size)
    {
    print "File '$key' size is too big!";
    $upload = false;
    }
    //check the file's    dimension WxH
    if ($max_width && $max_height) 
    {
    list($width, $height, $type, $w) = getimagesize($_FILES[image][tmp_name][$key]);
        if($width > $max_width || $height > $max_height)
        {
        print "<br>File '$key' height and/or width are too big!";
        $upload = false;    
        }

        //upload the file!            
        else
        {
        if(empty($upload) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES[image][tmp_name][$key]))
        {

        //create a random name for the uploaded file
        $date = date ("Ymd");
        $name = random_string();
        $uploadname = "$date-$name.$extension";

        //print "$uploadname<br>";
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES[image][tmp_name][$key],$uploaddir.'/'.$uploadname);
        }
        }

    }





    }
}
}
?>

can anybody help me with this please?

by the way, on this line :

$uploadname = "$date-$name.$extension";

how can i change the - for a _ ? thanks!

I believe the array indexes will be in this order:

$_FILES['image'][$key]['tmp_name']

hello,

thanks for your reply.
i've tried both but it doesnt work 🙁

Try a little debugging by sticking the following into your script to see what file data was actually received:

printf("<pre>%s</pre>\n", print_r($_FILES, 1));

This way you will see exactly which files were received and how they are indexed within the $_FILES array.

hi!

I just tried with this line you gave me. I uploaded 1 image only in this case and it returns:

Array
(
    [image] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Active.jpg
                    [1] => 
                    [2] => 
                    [3] => 
                    [4] =>

                [4] => 
                [5] => 
            )

        [error] => Array
            (
                [0] => 0
                [1] => 4
                [2] => 4
                [3] => 4
                [4] => 4
                [5] => 4
            )

        [size] => Array
            (
                [0] => 15540

                [4] => 0
                [5] => 0
            )

    )

)

Well, at least we know the image is uploading. 🙂

Looks like your original syntax was correct. So maybe the next thing is to make sure you're seeing any error messages:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'][$key], $uploaddir.'/'.$uploadname);
if($result === FALSE)
{
   user_error("move_uploaded_file() failed.");
}

hi,

apparently it works now BUT:
- it is not instant (with one file it was uploaded right away)
- i cant download the files I just uploaded from the ftp: it returns me a "critical transfer error"

by the way:

I need to storethe path and name of these files into a table: how do i call them please?

thanks

[choubix]

finally got it to work thanks to you!

i also had a problem in the way i was declaring the path...

now I am stuck with 2 more problems:

• I cant download via FTP the files I uploaded via the form (not vital for me but I am wondering what the problem is...)

• I need to write in my database the path and names of the files I have just sent via the form: how do i do that please knowing that between 1 to 6 names are stored in only one variable?

the path is: $uploaddir and the names are in $uploadname.

for info I stored the files on the server using this line:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'][$key],$uploaddir.'/'.$uploadname);

thanks!
