Get URL of uploaded file

[Bricktop]

Hi all,

 

I have an upload script that allows for image uploads to specified directories.  The specified directory is a variable and can change.

 

I would like to know how I can display a link to the uploaded file.

 

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? 

 

Thanks

The question is too vague. Please post some of your code. What is the value in that "variable" you speak of?

Here is a snippet from the display part of the code:

 

list($width,$height) = getimagesize($settings['uploadpath'].$file);

			$content .= '<div class="containercontent">';

			$content .= '<div class="image"><div class="thumbnaildiv"><img src="'.$settings['adminthumbpath'].''.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'" class="thumbnail" /></div>';

			$content .= '<div class="image">';

			$content .= '<p class="image>Filename:  '.$file.'</p>';

			$content .= '<p class="image">Width:  '.$width.' pixels</p>';

			$content .= '<p class="image">Height:  '.$height.' pixels</p>';

			$content .= '<p class="image">Filesize:  '.$file_size.'</p>';

			$content .= '</div>';

 

From the above you will see that "$settings['uploadpath'].$file" is the upload folder and the filename.  "$settings['uploadpath']" is variable.

 

I would like to get the full http://www.mydomain.com/folder_name/folder_name/whatever/file_name.jpg" - essentially the full URL of the stored file.

 

Thanks

you will need another variable then....

<?php
//Filesystem path to uploads
$settings['uploadpath'] = '/full/path/to/uploads/dir/';
//URL Path to uploads
$settings['uploadurl'] = '/folder_name/folder_name/whatever/';
?>

 

there is just no GOOD way to translate the filesystem path to a URL

Thanks Aaron, I'm already doing the above, just wondered if there was a more "dynamic" way of achieving it.  I just wonder how the popular image upload websites achieve the same result?

they all have a separate variable. you will find the same thing on most CMS installs (like Joomla, etc). you could try to subtract the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] from it, but i tend to keep stuff out of my web root and then use symlinks...so you will run into issues there
