Listbox verifys path of upload

[GAORC.COM]

I have downloaded a script for a multiple file upload.  I wanted to edit it with a list box, so that what option the user chooses with the list box decides what directory the file will be uploaded to.

 

Here is the upload page.

 

<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<form action="multiple_upload_ac.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td>Please Select a Gallery:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><select name="gallery">
  <option value="images/gallery/upload/HarlanSpring08">Harlan Spring '08</option>
  <option value="HarlanFall08">Harlan Fall '08</option>
  <option value="Local">Local</option>
  <option value="Tellico06">Tellico '06</option>
  <option value="Tellico07">Tellico '07</option>
  <option value="Other">Other</option>
</select><td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>multiple Files Upload </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>

 

and here is the upload script

 

<?php
//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path1= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2];

//copy file to where you want to store file
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1], $path2);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][2], $path3);

 

where it says $path1= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]; i want it to direct the folder to what ever the value is of the select box.  That value will correspond with a directory on the website and then will dump the image there.

 

For some reason i'm drawing a blank on how to do this so i was hoping for some help.

#1 replace $HTTP_POST_FILES with $_FILES

#2 $_POST['gallery'] =  the folder name

so

$path1= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

should be

$path1= $_POST['gallery']."/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

It is now acting like it is uploading the file, but the file is still not being uploaded.  Where you had me change the $HTTP_POST_FILES to $_POST, should i do that every where there is a $HTTP_POST_FILES?

 

Here is the rest of the code so you can see it.

 

<?php
//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path1= $_POST['gallery']."/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path1= $_POST['gallery']."/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path1= $_POST['gallery']."/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][2];

//copy file to where you want to store file
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1], $path2);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][2], $path3);

//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$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\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";

there is more below but it just has to do with displaying errors and i figured it was not needed.

You need to make sure the folders exist and have write access

 

here's some sample code with a little error checking

<?php
foreach($_FILES['ufile']['name'] as $K => $Name)
{
$uploaddir= $_POST['gallery']."/";
//check folder path
if(!is_dir($uploaddir)) die("Can't upload invalid folder path: $uploaddir");

$path= $uploaddir.$Name;
//copy file to where you want to store file
$valid = copy($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][$K], $path);
if($valid)
{
echo "File Name :$Name<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$_FILES['ufile']['size'][$K]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$_FILES['ufile']['type'][$K]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
}else{
echo "failed: ";
}
echo "<P>";
}

The verification works fine it comes back good.  And i have it echo me the path it is supposed to store it in and that comes back correct, but the image is not saving in there for some odd reason.  I gave the folder the correct permissions, but it is still not dumping the image in there.  Is there something wrong with the code, or a way i can change it around to do the same thing?

Well I thought i had it wooped.  I got it all working, but only tested with one.  Now I run into the problem that i have 3 boxes where you can upload 3 pictures at a time.  The script works and uploads the first properly, but the 2nd a 3rd image don't upload properly.

 

$folder =$_POST['gallery'];
$path1= "images/gallery/upload/".$folder.'/'.$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "images/gallery/upload/".$folder.'/'.$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "images/gallery/upload/".$folder.'/'.$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2]; 

//copy file to where you want to store file
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1], $path2);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][2], $path3);

//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$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\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][1]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][2]."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";

 

Not sure what I could change to make it work.  Everything seems to be solid on the code.
