Upload & Position Image

[Dysan]

hi, how do I upload an image (size must be 468x60px), then provide a drop-down list to position the image somewhere on the page, upon clicking a submit button?

The positions are as follows:

• Top-Left

• Top-Right

• Bottom-Left

• Bottom-Right

Well, the drop-down list is easy.... as for positioning, you could create a class that aligns it so that it's absolutely positioned:

img.top-left {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
}

img.top-right {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    right:0;
}

img.bot-left {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    left:0;
}

img.bot-right {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    right:0;
}

Then just do a regular file upload (search the boards) and you can use the image functions to get the image dimensions. Compare them with what you expect. Then you can (1) resize the image to meet your needs or (2) deny the upload and tell them to resize it themselves. There are scripts on this forum for doing the resizing.

OK, I have the upload script. How do I check the image being uploaded is of valid dimensions (468x60px)?

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
  {
  echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
  }
else
  {
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
  "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
  }
}
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

You can retrieve the image's dimensions by using [man]getimagesize/man.
