I'm looking for the best way to approach this-my idea isn't formatting nicely.

(visit http://qa.theapron.com/index2.php and click either the 2nd or 12th photo....they have test content)

Basically, a user uploads a photo. I'm threading a html form with <text area and comments below it.

I'm using getimagesize() to get the heightXwidth of the photo, and setting text area cols= 7/8 or 1/2 the width of the photo.

But, that doesnt translate well in all instances.

So, what's the best was, knowing that the users can upload a variety of photo sizes, to keep the comment thread and form clean?

The other idea I had was to resize the photo on upload to a specifc size. If the photo was smaller than that pre-dermined size, someone mat and center it. Are there scripts around that do that?

Ok, so I've tried multiple ways. Either the file gets attached properly but with a filename of ../gallery/X.jpg, which when forwarded to facebook will not get accepted, or the filename is correct but not file attached.

<?php
include("../framework/config.php");

//get IP address of uploader
$ipAddress = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

$path_temp = date("Y-m-d_H-i",time()) . "_" . $HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

$path1= "../gallery/". $path_temp;


//copy file to store
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);


echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";

//strip html and slashes, etc
$altOne=htmlspecialchars(stripcslashes($_POST[altOne]), ENT_QUOTES);
$descOne=htmlspecialchars(stripcslashes($_POST[descOne]), ENT_QUOTES);


$bwOne="$_POST[bwOne]";
$facebookOne="$_POST[facebookOne]";
$date = date("Y-m-d_H-i",time());
$store="$_POST[store]";

echo"Alt: $altOne <br> Desc: $descOne <br> Best/Worst: $bwOne <br>Facebook: $facebookOne<br><br><br>";


//display the error or success.

$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];


if($filesize1 != 0){

echo "We have recieved your files";

if($facebookOne == 'Y'){


	function mail_attachment($filename, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject) {

			    $file = $filename;
			    $file_size = filesize($file);
			    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
			    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
			    fclose($handle);

			   	if (mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $header)) {
			        echo "<br/><br/>Mail Sent!"; // or use booleans here
			    } else {
			        echo "<br/><br/>Mail FAILD!";
			    }
			}

			$my_name = "My Name Here";
			$my_mail = "facebook@domain.com";
			$my_replyto = "facebook@domain.com";
			$my_subject = $_POST['descOne'];

			mail_attachment($path1_temp, "facebook@domain.com", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject);


}
else{
}
}


else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

// What files that have a problem? (if found)

if($filesize1==0) {
echo "There're something error in your first file";
echo "<BR />";
}

?>

Any ideas?

Thanks requinix, but I'm not sure that's the problem.

//purely the file name

$path_temp = date("Y-m-d_H-i",time()) . "_" . $HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

//throw path before it for the photo gallery

$path1= "../gallery/". $path_temp;

Here is my mail function:

function mail_attachment($filename, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject) {
	    $file = $filename;
	    $file_size = filesize($file);
	    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
	    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
	    fclose($handle);
	    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
	    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
	    $name = basename($file);
	    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
	    $header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
	    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
	    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
	    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
	    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
	    $header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
	    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
	    //$header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
	    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
	    $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use different content types here
	    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
	    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
	    $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
	    $header .= "--".$uid."--";
	   	if (mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $header)) {
	        echo "<br/><br/>Mail Sent!"; // or use booleans here

	    } else {
	        echo "<br/><br/>Mail FAILD!";
	    }
	}

...calling the function.

mail_attachment($path_temp, "facebook@myDomain.com", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject);

I'm getting the emails with 0K file attachements...it's just the name of the file, not the file itself.

Hi guys, here's my problem.

I have an html upload form that enables a user to upload a photo, which get emailed to a forwarder that i've setup to relay to x@facebook.com, which will get posted to my Facebook wall.

However, the same photo will get posted in a gallery, therefore the file upload name includes the server path. Changing this will break the gallery.

IE if a user uploads a file named myphoto.jpg

$path_temp is ../gallery/myphoto.jpg

I need to strip the "../gallery" before it gets attached and sent via. Once forwarded, Facebook doesnt seem to accept photos with the "../" as part of the filename (security I'd imagine).

html form
..accepts the photo
$path_temp = date("Y-m-d_H-i",time()) . "_" . $HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

....needs to be stripped for facebook to post via their e-mail to wall functionality.
$facebookSafe = str_replace("../gallery/", "_", $path_temp);

...mail function 
mail_attachment($facebookSafe, "facebook@domain.com", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject);

The filename is being stripped of the "../," but it's not attaching the file to the email (it's just including the name as a string & no photo).

How can I strip the uploaded filename of the charcaters and send via e-mail?

Sorry, I wasnt clear. And, @nightslyr-thanks I took your advice and am using empty.

The db has a short description(use for the alt= hover) and longer description for when the picture is expanded(lightbox). Never will both fields be empty.

The problem: if their is a short description, use it as the alt=. If their is a longer description, use that when picture is expanded. If one of the two fields are empty, use the other to take its place.

So, for instance, picture #27-the last one.

The database is:

altText: cowboy boot

descTest:Have you heard of people of home depot?

$date=mysql_result($result,$i,'date');
						$altText=mysql_result($result,$i,'alt');
						$descText=mysql_result($result,$i,'descText');

						//if no photo story, use altText as such.
						if(empty($descText)){
							    $descText = $altText;
						}
						else if(empty($altText)){
							$altText = $descText;
						}
						else{
						}

It seems to be working now. Thanks. I think my cookies were screwing me up too.

I'm pulling text from a database to use as the alt= for a photo gallery. Also, each picture has a longer description. If the description does not exist (ie table field is empty), the alt= text should act as both. Simple enough but its not working?

$fname=mysql_result($result,$i,'filename');
						$username=mysql_result($result,$i,'userID');
						$store=mysql_result($result,$i,'store');
						$date=mysql_result($result,$i,'date');
						$altText=mysql_result($result,$i,'alt');
						$descText=mysql_result($result,$i,'descText');

						//if no photo story, use altText as such.
						if(($descText=='') || ($descText==' ') || ($descText == null)){
							  $descText == $altText;
						}

					echo"
						<td valign='top'>
							<a href='$url/gallery/image.php/image.jpg?width=800&height=800&image=$url/gallery/$fname' rel='lightbox[pictures]' title='$descText'>
								<img src='$url/gallery/image.php/image.jpg?width=75&height=75&image=$url/gallery/$fname' alt='$altText' border='0' />
							</a>
						</td>
					";

I've tried both ways- $altText==$descText and $descText ==$altText. Shouldnt it be as above?

Website is still in production, but see http://qa.theapron.com for an idea of what I mean. This is being used on conjunction with the lightbox script.

Fantasitc. Works 100% now.

June 29, 2011

Based off of: http://www.finalwebsites.com/forums/topic/php-e-mail-attachment-script

The script is not 100% functional. It does send a message, but without an attachment and with random text in the body.


function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
									    $file = $path.$filename;
									    $file_size = filesize($file);
									    $handle = fopen($file, 'r');

									    fclose($handle);
									    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
									    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
									    $name = basename($file);
									    $header = 'From: '.$from_name.' <'.$from_mail.'>\r\n';
									    $header .= 'Reply-To: '.$replyto.'\r\n';
									    $header .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n';

									        echo 'mail send ... OK'; // or use booleans here
									    } else {
									        echo 'mail send ... ERROR!';
									    }
						}

						$my_file = "test_upload.jpg";
						$my_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'contribute/upload/';

Scenario: User uploads pictures via an HTML form, this script will check the filetype & size, and write the submission to a sql table. I have everything working but would like to check the users filename so it doesnt overwrite an exisiting file. If it does, just append a random string to the end of the filename-then write to table.

Here's what I've got. Is the best option to redefine $target and add a rand() string to the end of it? What would that look like?

<?php

include("../framework/config.php");

$target = "upload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=0;
$maxSize=350000;

if (($uploaded_size <= $maxSize) && ($uploaded_type=="image/gif") || ($uploaded_type=="image/jpeg") || ($uploaded_type=="image/pjpeg")){
	echo "File type & size are ALLOWED.<br>";
	$ok=1;

if(file_exists($target)){
		echo"However, a file with that name already exists.  Please rename it and try again.<br/>";
		$ok=0;
                   //where i'm working
  //redeclare $target and add a rand() to the end for unique filename
  $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

	}
}
else{
	echo "File type & size are BANNED.<br>";
	$ok=0;
}


if ($ok==0){
  Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded";
}
else{
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)){
  	echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded.";
  }
  else{
  }
}



?>

Great, thanks. Works like a charm now.

June 16, 2011

This is what I've got so far.

$result=mysql_query($sql);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
$i=0;


for($rowNum=1; $rowNum<=$num/8;$rowNum++){
echo"<tr>";

    for($colNum=1; $colNum<=8;$colNum++){

        while ($i < $num){
             $fname=mysql_result($result,$i,'filename');
             $altText=mysql_result($result,$i,'alt');

         echo"
<td>
     <img src='$url/...alt='$altText' />
</td>
          ";
           $i++;
        }
        echo"</tr>";
}
}

However, the table row tags are being put at the end of code-and not with 8 column tags within them.

Shouldnt this way work as well?

June 15, 2011

I'm building a photo gallery table of X rows and 8 columns/pictures wide based on the numer of images in the database. Having a brain-freeze though and can't get it to create additional rows. Also, the ending table row tag is nesting properly. Logic problem maybe? Thanks for any help.

$sql="SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE (userID LIKE '%$searchString%') OR (alt LIKE '%$searchString%') OR (date LIKE '%$searchString%') OR (store LIKE '%$searchString%');";
				$result=mysql_query($sql);
				$num=mysql_numrows($result);
				$i=0;

				$rows=0;
				while($rows<=$num/8){

						echo"<tr>";

						while ($i < $num  && $pictureCount <= 7)
						{
							$fname=mysql_result($result,$i,'filename');
							$username=mysql_result($result,$i,'userID');
							$store=mysql_result($result,$i,'store');
							$date=mysql_result($result,$i,'date');
							$altText=mysql_result($result,$i,'alt');

							echo"
								<td>
									<img src='$url/contribute/upload/image.php?width=75&height=75&cropratio=1:1&image=$url/contribute/upload/$fname' alt='$altText' />
								</td>
							";

							$i++;
							$pictureCount++;
						}
						echo"</tr>";
					$rows++;
				}
