//////////////////////////////////////uploader

{



echo "Upload your picture and copy the link <br/>after uploading to user it at gallery.<br/><br/>";

echo "<form method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"index.php?action=uploaded&sid=$sid\">";
echo "Choose Picture: <br />";
echo "<input name=\"uploaded\" type=\"file\" /><br /><br />";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Upload\" />";

echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=main&sid=$sid\">Home</a>";
echo "</p>";

//////////////////////////////////////uploader
else if($action=="uploaded")
{



$blacklist = array(".php", ".php.jpg", ".php.jpeg", ".php.gif", ".php.png", ".phtml", ".php3", ".php4");
foreach ($blacklist as $item) {
if(preg_match("/$item\$/i", $_FILES['uploaded']['name'])) {
echo "<p align=\"center\">";
echo "Oops sorry we do not allow those files.<br/>";
echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=main&sid=$sid\">Home</a>";
echo "</p>"; 
exit;
}
} 

$target = "../images/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=1;

if (file_exists("../images/" . $_FILES["uploaded"]["name"]))
      {
echo "<p align=\"center\">";
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "Oops file name already exists<br/> kindly rename your picture and upload again. <br/>";

echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=main&sid=$sid\">Home</a>";
echo "</p>";    
}else{

//This is our size condition
if ($uploaded_size > 25600){

echo "Your file is too large. We have a 25kb limit.<br/>";
$ok=0;
}

$types = array('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png');

if (in_array($_FILES['uploaded']['type'], $types)) {
// file is okay continue
} else {
$ok=0;
} 


//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0){
echo "<p align=\"center\">";
Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded.<br/> It may be the wrong filetype. <br/>We only allow JPG, GIF, and PNG filetypes.<br/>";

On this line of your code:

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)){

 

..you specify the $target location to move the file; modify $target to contain the file name you want.

 

Currently you have:

 

$target = "../images/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

 

Replace it to something like:

 

$target = "../images/";
$target = $target . md5(rand() . $_FILES['uploaded']['name']);

[$php_mysql$]

one question i retrive my users name like this

 

$nick = getnick_uid($username);

 

how could i use this users name for the uploaded file?

[Adam]

$target = "../images/";
$target = $target . getnick_uid($username);

[$php_mysql$]

got it thanks :-)

[Adam]

No problem. Although actually you'd may as-well remove the redefinition:

 

$target = "../images/" . getnick_uid($username);

[$php_mysql$]

ok how could i make this random number not random but goes serially?

 

$randomnum=rand(0000,9999);

 

currently it gives random numbers but i wish for it to you know like 1 2 3 4?

[$php_mysql$]

another question :-) right now if i print $target i get image/filename.gif , how can i print only the finename.gif?

[Adam]

basename

 

Edit:

 

Missed your other post. You'd need to use a data source such a database or flat file to store the current count.

[$php_mysql$]

yes im storing them in DB but still not too clear on it. i have inboxed u the complete source, could u help find a solution? thanks

[$php_mysql$]

any help here someone?

[trq]

The issue is?

[$php_mysql$]

ok the issue is, when i echo $target it prints the path and the renamed image name something like this

 

images/username28374image.jpg

 

but what im looking for is to get only

 

username28374image.jpg

 

without the images/ so that i could store the username28374image.jpg  name into DB for after i store like images/username28374image.jpg im unable to delete the image from the dir.

 

 

I want to get images/username28374image.jpg with $target but aswell i want a way to get only the image name like username28374image.jpg any help please?

[Adam]

basename

[$php_mysql$]

would it be something like this?

 

$image_name = basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

[Adam]

That would return the file name of the file they uploaded. So yeah, if that's what you're after.

[$php_mysql$]

ok it does but not along with the renamed image but the original name of the image, currently to rename i did

 

$target = "images/";

$randomnum=rand(0000,9999);

$target = $target.getnick_username($username).$randomnum;

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

$ok=1;

 

the uploaded images gets stored like username2345_originalimagename.jpg

 

but when im printing the

 

$image_name = basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

 

i get only originalimagename.jpg not along with username and the random number like username2345_originalimagename.jpg which gets uploaded

[$php_mysql$]

finally i used my head :-)
