Anyway to change the code to make the path in the email linkable?

similar to above, that code simply sends the path in the email with the <a href> tag around it. It is still not a link, strangely.

is this possible?

Hi guys; I have created a php form whereby users have the ability to upload a file to the server. After they click the submit button the form input is sent in an email with a path to the uploaded file. Whilst the email provides the direct path to the file it is not linkable. How do i do this. The code which sets the path is; $body .= "\nPath: http://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/$target"; How can i change it so the path becomes a link in the email?

thanks for the above code. I have managed to insert a direct path into my email however it doesn't show up as a link just plain text. can you please give me an example of how i would move the echo function to a different part of the page?

AyKay was code to i insert on my page to change the location of the echo? Similarly what code do i insert in my php script to add a direct link into the body of my email? Thanks in advance

thanks for your help aykay. How can i do both of these things? I would like to place the echo function in a particular part of my page, what code do i insert where i would like it to be placed. Similarly what code do i insert into my php script to send the direct path.

So i have finally managed how to find how to make it work after playing around with it for a while. The final script is as follows <?php $target = "upload/$firstname $lastname - "; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; //This is our size condition if ($uploaded_size > 350000) { echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; $ok=0; } //This is our limit file type condition if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") { echo "No PHP files<br>"; $ok=0; } //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error if ($ok==0) { Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; } //If everything is ok we try to upload it else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } elseif (!empty($_FILES)){ //proceed with code } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } /* this part can either be in the same file as the form or it can be in a different file. If you want this in a different file, make the "action" of the form go to that file */ if(sizeof($_POST)) { $body = ""; while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $body .= "$key: $val \n"; } mail("[email protected]", // to "Resume", $body, "From:".$Email); } // end form processing ?> Is it possible however to change the position of the echo. It simply displays at the top of the page to the left. I was hoping to fit it along nicer with my theme. How can i change this. Under my php script is a html file which displays a certain page, i was hoping i could incorporate the echo to become more a status on my page. Is there anyway to also send a direct link in the email to the uploaded file?

please help.

That doesn't seem to work either, on my mac it just goes to a blank white page, where it continues trying to load the page however in IE i get the error 'the website cannot display the page'

ideas?

Sorry the code I'm using is; <?php if(!empty($_FILE)){ //proceed with code } else { $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; //This is our size condition if ($uploaded_size > 350000) { echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; $ok=0; } //This is our limit file type condition if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") { echo "No PHP files<br>"; $ok=0; } //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error if ($ok==0) { Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; } //If everything is ok we try to upload it else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } } /* this part can either be in the same file as the form or it can be in a different file. If you want this in a different file, make the "action" of the form go to that file */ if(sizeof($_POST)) { $body = ""; while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $body .= "$key: $val \n"; } mail("[email protected]", // to "Resume", $body, "From:".$Email); } // end form processing ?>

It seems the code that Mancent has provided does not work properly, it results in a server error. I have added the if empty code AyKay47 provided however still results in the error 'there was an error uploading the file'. I have implemented it as follows; <?php if(!empty($_FILE)){ //proceed with code } else $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; //This is our size condition if ($uploaded_size > 350000) { echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; $ok=0; } //This is our limit file type condition if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") { echo "No PHP files<br>"; $ok=0; } //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error if ($ok==0) { Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; } //If everything is ok we try to upload it else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } /* this part can either be in the same file as the form or it can be in a different file. If you want this in a different file, make the "action" of the form go to that file */ if(sizeof($_POST)) { $body = ""; while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $body .= "$key: $val \n"; } mail("[email protected]", // to "Resume", $body, "From:".$Email); } // end form processing ?>

I am not too experienced in Php, how can i do this so when no file is uploaded rather then running the script and stating there is an error in the upload it simply just email's the remainder of the form? However when a file has been selected it runs the upload script? If an attachment is uploaded is it possible to send a link to the attachment in the email? also is there any way to make the uploaded file name the name the user entered in one of the input boxes?

I am currently using a form for uploading resumes. <?php $target = "upload/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; //This is our size condition if ($uploaded_size > 350000) { echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; $ok=0; } //This is our limit file type condition if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") { echo "No PHP files<br>"; $ok=0; } //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error if ($ok==0) { Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; } //If everything is ok we try to upload it else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } /* this part can either be in the same file as the form or it can be in a different file. If you want this in a different file, make the "action" of the form go to that file */ if(sizeof($_POST)) { $body = ""; while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $body .= "$key: $val \n"; } mail("[email protected]", // to "Resume", $body, "From:".$Email); } // end form processing ?> I am hoping that if no file is uploaded it skips the upload process and just sends the email. Also how can i make it so when the file is uploaded it is renamed to "Resume - Users first and last name" Thanks
