[Orionsbelter]

A script for now please i know there are loads available on the net but not too sure which ones would best be suited. So any suggestions would help alot

id google it theres plenty of them out there

 

Oh yeah i understand there's loads, just suggestions on which is the best or what others may have used is a lot more helpful then just searching and trying them out.

I'm a total noob the one i create will probs not work and mess up the whole sever. hehe

 

thanks spiderwell will give it a try now.

the only problem with that script is that, it doesn't support image uploading first

[spiderwell]

yeah i know, like i said its only for thumbnailing, but at the time it was  enough for what i needed, i have outgorwn it since, but i make my own upload scripts since thats very easy. heres a snippet for you, I have pulled it from a class i wrote so will need a little bit of adjusting. it returns an array with 2 values, key 0 is either true or false and key 1 has a message:

 

<?php
function handleUpload($fieldname)
{
$settings = systemcomponent::getSettings();//remove this as its irrelevant to you
$upload = array();
if ((($_FILES["$fieldname"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["size"] < 200000) || ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["name"] == "")) //this bit restricts size and file type
{
	if ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["error"] > 0 && $_FILES["$fieldname"]["error"] != 4)
		{
			$this->errors[] = "Image not saved in ImageControl->handleUpload(); || Return Code: " . $_FILES["$fieldname"]["error"] . "<br />"; //insert failed! Add error description to list of errors
			$upload[0] = 0;
			$upload[1] = "Image did not save";
			return $upload;
		}
  else
	{
		$filename = str_replace("'","",$_FILES["$fieldname"]["name"]); // escape ' in file name! curse these people who not know how file naming should be done! lol
		if (file_exists($settings['imagedir'] . $_FILES["$fieldname"]["name"]))
		  {		
			$upload[0] = 0;
			if ($_FILES["$fieldname"]["name"] == "")
			{
				$upload[1] = "please select a file.";
			}
			else
			{
				$upload[1] = $_FILES["$fieldname"]["name"] . " already exists. ";

			}
			return $upload;
		  }
		else
		  {
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES["$fieldname"]["tmp_name"],$settings['imagedir'] . $filename);//change the $settings['imagedir'] to your upload directory
			$upload[0] = 1;
			$upload[1] = $filename;
			return $upload;
		  }
		}
}
else
{
	$upload[0] = 0;
	$upload[1] = "file type restricted or too large";
	return $upload;
}

}

?>

I too would like a recommendation for a good multiple-file upload script / system.

 

I take on board the "make one yourself" suggestion, but I don't know much Javescript and don't have time to make my own at this stage.

 

I want something that's free that I can just download and add to my site.

 

Any help appreciated!

I have used, and have suggested wizecho before.  It is easy to customize, and has cool features.

Are you sure that allows multiples? Their demo won't let me select more than one file at a time...

Yes, just remove the javascript that dis-ables the form, it allows you to submit image after image.
