So I built this upload script....

iKris

But I need some help. I built part of this script off a tut, and did the rest myself however, I want it so it send the information into a database.

What I want is, once a user uploads an image, it can also be deleted by that user with the code given.
I have made the html, bbcode & direct link. I want an option for a box where it shows Delete link....

maniaupload.net

here's my FULL php upload script.

<?php
define ("MAX_SIZE","100000");
function getExtension($str) {
$i = strrpos($str,".");
if (!$i) { return ""; }
$l = strlen($str) - $i;
$ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
return $ext;
}
$errors=0;
if(isset($POST['Submit']))
{
$image=stripslashes($FILES['image']['name']);
if ($image)
{
$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
$extension = getExtension($filename);
$extension = strtolower($extension);
if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "mov") && ($extension !="PNG") && ($extension !="bmp") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif"))
{

echo '<font color="red"><b>Extension not allowed</b></font><br>';
$errors=1;
}
else
{
$size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

if ($size > MAX_SIZE*100000)
{
echo 'You have exceeded the size limit!';
$errors=1;
}

$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;

$newname="images/".$image_name;

$fullname="http://www.maniaupload.net/".$newname;

$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);
if (!$copied)
{
echo '<font color=\"red\"><b>Upload Unsuccessful! Try Again?</b></font>';
$errors=1;
}}}}

if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors)
{
echo "File Uploaded Successfully! <br /><br /> <img src=\"$newname\" /> <br /><br />

<b>Direct Image Link:</b><br/><table width=\"338\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" id=\"Table1\">
<tr>
<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"><textarea readonly name=\"message\" rows=\"1\" cols=\"50\">$fullname</textarea></td>
</tr>
</table></center><br>

<b>HTML Code:</b><br/><table width=\"338\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" id=\"Table1\">
<tr>
<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"><textarea readonly name=\"message\" rows=\"1\" cols=\"50\">
<a href=\"$fullname\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"$fullname\"></a>
</textarea></td>
</tr>
</table><br>

<b>BBCode <font color=\"red\">NEW</font></b><br>
<table width=\"338\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" id=\"Table1\">
<tr>
<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\">
<textarea readonly name=\"message\" rows=\"1\" cols=\"50\">

</textarea></td>
</tr>
</table><br>
";
}

I have more code but its not needed, its outside of the php tags. But can anyone help please. It's just adding a delete link so users can delete it if they choose.

I'm thinking it's MYSQL involved, but I'm still learning. Anyone know how I could do this?

Thanks.

well not necessarily you can use a mysql query if you save your image files in a mysql database.

else you will have to delete it from the directory if you save them there witch is alot more recommended no need for a database unless you want to use some form of user authentication.

basicly these is an easy task really depends on how you want to go about it

[/code]

so how would I go about doing this? Would i need MYSQL? or could their be a code in my uploader for this/.

jgetner

it all depends on your system design if you want to delete the current or stored pictures.... if the latter is true you would need to have some form of user control and authentication. Witch in turn would require a database such as mysql etc... and so on.

but if you choose to delete the current picture it is rather easy thing to do.

instructions to the process:
check if the delete link has been clicked yes/no?
if no display an error.
if yes grab the current file and unset it.
done.

Like i said, I built this script off a Tut.

You have me the process, but what would be the code for this? Would I have to redo the current coding or what?

Thanks.

jgetner

i cannot do it for you but yes i would suggest starting over with what you learned and test and make sure everything works piece by piece sooner than later you will have complete handcrafted uploader created by your self.
