[renaming file during upload....]

yeah, this works... i was just posting it so everyone could see it.... maybe point out some flaws if they see any.. your the man humpty

[renaming file during upload....]

for the extensions i just built a simple if statement... i dunno if its safe or w/e but its whati go fo rnow

[code]
if($FnameExt==$ext_array[0] || $FnameExt==$ext_array[1] || $FnameExt==$ext_array[2] || $FnameExt==$ext_array[3] || $FnameExt==$ext_array[4]){


if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path.'/'.$randomName.".".$FnameExt)) {
    echo htmlentities('<a href="http://www.hostmapics.com/"><img src="http://hostmapics.com/');
echo $target_path.'/'.$randomName.".".$FnameExt;
echo htmlentities('"></a>');
}
else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}
else{
echo "Not a valid file extension";
}
[/code]

when i get to the directories i am either going to use a database or do a random 1-1000 to pick which folder the image is going in

[multiple condidtions in an if statement]

alright thanks... i was thinking something like that, but i wasnt sure.  i think its the same in JS right?

[multiple condidtions in an if statement]

how would i say:

if(stuff==array[0] or array[1] or array[2]){
echo "Stuff is equal too 0,1, and 2";
}
haha sounds kind of childish but i cant find it anywhere i can only find &&

[renaming file during upload....]

alright, thanks a lot that really helped, i'll give you my  code just so you can see it if youd like.
[code]
<?php
$Fname=$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'];


//Function to strip the extension of a filename string
function strip_ext($name)
  {
  $ext = strrchr($name, '.');
  if($ext !== false)
  {
  $name = substr($name, 0, -strlen($ext));
}
return $name;
}
// This will get the extension of the filename
$FnameExt= end(explode('.',$Fname));

function createRandomName() {

    $chars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz023456789";
    srand((double)microtime()*10000000);
    $i = 0;
    $pass = '' ;

    while ($i <= 7) {
        $num = rand() % 33;
        $tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
        $pass = $pass . $tmp;
        $i++;
    }

    return $pass;

}

// Usage
$randomName = createRandomName();

//retrieve file name



// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "images";

/* Add the original filename to our target path. 
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = "images";
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];



if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path.'/'.$randomName.".".$FnameExt)) {

//show the user their link
    echo htmlentities('<a href="http://www.hostmapics.com/"><img src="http://hostmapics.com/');
    echo $target_path.'/'.$randomName.".".$FnameExt;
    echo htmlentities('"></a>');
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>
[/code]

-an extension verification script
-use a database or random selection for dir 1-1000 for the images/****/name.ext
what else do i need?

and should i use classes or should i just do everything on this page like i am now?

[renaming file during upload....]

alright thanks, i'll try it out tomorrow

i really appreciate it :)

[renaming file during upload....]

didnt work... in order to change the file name, dont i have to store the extension some how first?

[renaming file during upload....]

i changed it to "basename($_FILES['randomName']..." then changed the rest of the "uploadedfile" to randomName also, but im guessing that doesnt work because it doesnt recognize the file because from the form i named it "uploadedfile" so i need somehow to change it from uploadedfile to a randomName...? maybe thats not what you were saying?

[renaming file during upload....]

wow sorry, that code wasnt supposed to be in there, it doesnt work with the rename function the way i had it... so pretend that isnt in there please, then help me

i will take it out

thanks, pat

[renaming file during upload....]

i've looked all over, but i cant figure out how i would change the file name to a randomly generated name... heres my code so far

[code]
<?php

function createRandomName() {

    $chars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz023456789";
    srand((double)microtime()*10000000);
    $i = 0;
    $pass = '' ;

    while ($i <= 7) {
        $num = rand() % 33;
        $tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
        $pass = $pass . $tmp;
        $i++;
    }

    return $name;

}

$randomName = createRandomName();




// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "images/";

/* Adding the original filename to my target path. 
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];


if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo htmlentities('<a href="http://www.hostmapics.com/"><img src="http://hostmapics.com/');
echo $target_path;
echo htmlentities('"></a>');
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";

[upload script help]

hey i'm working on a public upload site and for some reason it just says "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!" whenever i try to upload something

[code]

// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "images/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path. 
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']; 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
[/code]

and this is the form that leads to that
[code]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="photoparse.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
