PHP Batch Upload

[spacepoet]

I am trying to create a simple batch upload to "attach" to client's sites so they can use that in order to send me photos.

 

I have been searching for a script and don't see one.

 

I did find this, but it has no FORM to use:

<?php

set_time_limit(0);  

$dir = "/path/to/the/uploaded/pictures/"; // trailing slash
$moveto = "/path/to/where/they/should/be/copied/"; // trailing slash

$files = glob($dir . "*.jp{e,}g"); // list of files, sorted by name
$i = 1; // numbering
foreach ($files as $filename) {
    $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename); if (!$image) continue; // load
    $w = imagesx($image); $h = imagesy($image); // width, height
    $neww = 140; $newh = $h * $neww / $w; // resized
    $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($neww, $newh);
    imagecopyresampled($thumb, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $neww, $newh, $w, $h); // create thumbnail

    imagejpeg($image, $moveto . $i . ".jpg"); // copy original
    imagejpeg($thumb, $moveto . $i . "_th.jpg"); // copy thumbnail

    // optional:
    echo "copied ", basename($filename), " (orig: $w, $h) to $i (thumb: $neww, $newh)<br>\n";

    $i++;
    imagedestroy($image); imagedestroy($thumb);
}

?> 

 

???

 

Would I just need to add a TEXTAREA to it, and then people can drag-and-drop .JPGs into it and it will automatically upload the files?

 

I am not certain.

 

I would have thought there would be a free script for this, since it's so common.

that script is more set for allowing users to FTP upload and then allowing you to execute and copy them all across.

 

there are plenty of upload scripts around, a quick google pulled these 3 ajax/jquery scripts (drag & drop etc)

http://valums.com/ajax-upload/

http://www.uploadify.com/

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/file_uploader

 

and here is a single PHP image upload script

Thanks for showing me these links.

 

I like this one:

 

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/file_uploader

 

but it is missing the upload.php file.

 

Is that a "standard" file I can find?

[joel24]

there is an example of how to write the back end in the documentation

 

you'll have to look at the example they've given and modify this script to suit your needs.
