basic upload + conversion script

importune · February 3, 2010

Uh, bit lost at this point. Still new, and possibly in over my head.

I'm trying to make a nfo/txt to PNG image converter for a website. Have to save the png to disc, and discard any uploaded nfo/txt. I can get it to convert and save a PNG image of text that I put into a text box form fairly easily, but I can't manage to get the uploaded file to work.

Its not just the if statement, even though that is screwed up =.=, as I've totally removed it and this still doesn't work. :shrug:

3 Files in total.

If I wasn't supposed to post the code or something, let me know. Thanks guys. x.x

i am pretty sure that you need to use move_uploaded_file() function before using the uploaded file to convert to png

i am pretty sure that you need to use move_uploaded_file() function before using the uploaded file to convert to png

Thanks for the quick response, and for taking the time to read my mess .

I have tried this, and it still didn't work. I believe it has something to do with my need to call the file before i have its actual filename, as when i use the FILES array in the file() field, it usually fails. I tried to save it to the server and then delete it at the end of the PNG generation, but it still didn't work. I get just about the same error, even when the file is successfully saved to the server.

Anyway- i'd like to accomplish this without having anything other than the final pngs actually saved. Any ideas? :\

EDIT: Btw, this is what i've also tried with no luck->

<?php
$fore = $_REQUEST['color'];
$back = $_REQUEST['back'];
$rand = rand(0,9999999999999);
$filename = "$rand.png";
    require_once("nfo2png.php");
$location = basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $location);
	$f = file($location);
	$f = implode("",$f);
    buildNFO($f, "Powered by : EH3:Board", $fore, $back, $filename, $rand);

Errors I get from this :

[03-Feb-2010 10:27:07] PHP Warning:  file() [<a href='function.file'>function.file</a>]: Filename cannot be empty in /*/nfotest.php on line 9
[03-Feb-2010 10:27:07] PHP Warning:  implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Invalid arguments passed in /*/nfotest.php on line 10

EDIT: I just tested it and still get the same errors even if i change this:

$f = file($location);

to this:

$f = file("$location");

your location

 $location = basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);

isn't a proper location (its just a filename). it should at least have './' or '/' before basename( $_FILES['file']['name']).

Also check your file permissions etc.

Im not really sure what the problem is but just hoping this may help.

importune · February 3, 2010

Yeah, I've searched the net for like 6 different basic php upload scripts, they all show a location just like this. I don't want it to go into a different directory or anything, just right there is fine, as when I'm done i'm going to delete the file anyway... :|

I donno dude, thanks for taking a look, hopefully someone has an answer. :shrug:

importune · February 3, 2010

Is it even possible to file() the $_FILES array? I can't find anything :-\

importune · February 3, 2010

An update: I've tried adding the "./" or the "/" multiple ways to both the $location and to the file(). Neither are working. Still says empty string.

jammesz · February 4, 2010

The error message says that $location is empty or doesnt contain a filename and only a directory. So your problem has something todo with that.

Lol, figured it out mates. Typo in my html. x.x
