[RESOLVED] Defining a Dynamic Upload Path

[storyboo]

I'm creating an upload so that people can upload a tpl file to a dynamic template folder. All of the folders inside of the template folder should have their own index.tpl. I've already created a way to select the template to use or edit. Now I wish to create the ability for them to also upload any tpl file to the directory which they selected as the folder they wish to use for their site template. Sio simplified:
1) The user selects a theme for their site, they are really selecting a template or folder from within the template directory.
2) The user uploads any tpl file and it will be name index.tpl and go into the folder they have already selected to use on their store in the previous step.

Whats wrong with the code?

<?php
if (isset($_FILES['ufile2']['tmp_name']))
{
$UPLOAD_DIR = '../../template/".config['skinDir']."/';

$file ='index.tpl';
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile2']['tmp_name'], $UPLOAD_DIR.$file);
}
?>

But i get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

line 4 miss matched quotes and missing $

$UPLOAD_DIR = '../../template/".$config['skinDir']."/';

You're right i was missing the $...but i dont understand about the mismatched quotes...

should dynamics appear ".$config['skinDir']." so that your wrapping it in ".."

[dagon]

you don't wrap the variables, you wrap the strings

Ohhhhhhh ok! I needed duoble quotes not single 🙂

Okie Dokie

$UPLOAD_DIR = "../../template/".$config['skinDir']."/";

Dynamic directories are not my strong point hehe 🙂

Many thanks to you and I hope that someone else find my thread useful should they be faced with a similar task 🙂 Your awesome Dagon! Tootaloo

actully, single would be better, when php sees double quotes it does a little more work , as double will expands variables and parses special escape sequences, see stings page i linked to. In short use single, unless you know you need double.

$UPLOAD_DIR = '../../template/'.$config['skinDir'].'/';
$UPLOAD_DIR = "../../template/{$config['skinDir']}/";
$UPLOAD_DIR = "../../template/".$config['skinDir']."/";

all three are valid, my personal preference is the first one, the {} are only needed as you var is an array

$UPLOAD_DIR = "../../template/$foo/";
