Gamerz Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi, is it possible, that when someone upload's a file to my server, they will automatically get a killcode so that if they want to delete a file, they can follow a killcode link, so the file can be deleted... Another way, if possible is that to place a search function in the whole uploads directory and the user can search there own file and choose to delete it...is that possible?

Mchl Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Both of these are possible. I'm trying to predict your next question now Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165632-adding-a-killcode-on-files-for-a-file-uploader/#findComment-873720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerz Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well can you help me with coding of those? And yes, did you predict my above question?

Mchl Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Oh boy, I'm so good at predicting! I am not going to write the code for you, I can give you some hints however You could try along these lines: 1. Once the upload is completed, files md5 hash is calculated using md5_file. 2. The hash and the path to file are stored into the database 3. The user is presented a url to 'delete file' page with hash attached as 'fileID' like this: http://mydomain.com/deletefile.php?fileID=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef 4. deletefile.php script takes 'fileID' from $_GET variable, searches for same hash in the database, and deletes the file from associated path. On second thought, the hash should probably be generated from file contents AND some user specific data. There's a possibility that two users upload same file.

Gamerz Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 I already have a file uploader though.... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165632-adding-a-killcode-on-files-for-a-file-uploader/#findComment-873747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 So you've got something. To calculate an md5 hash of a file use md5_file function. See if you can store this hash into a database along with a path to the file.
