Upload File Code For Contact Us Form

newtotheland · November 1, 2012

Hi I thought I had this solved but its still kicking,

I need html and php for this site please. www.penaltysolutions.co.uk

ALl I want to be able to do is allow people to upload two pdf's, text files or images not exceeding 20 meg in one go which should be emailed to my site email with the other contact us form info... everything works except the file uploads. Currently contact.html page looks like this:

Edit and put in code tags so its readable, also break it into sections...

berridgeab · November 1, 2012

Also explain whats not happening, have you print_r() the $_FILE global to see if the file is there?

newtotheland · November 1, 2012

redo

newtotheland · November 1, 2012

basically the name, surname etc process goes through, after you submit you get thank you for submitting reply but in top left corner it states "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!". ANd file is no where on directory or part of the email my admin email gets.

its online here www.penaltysolutions.co.uk

code tags done below.

Hi

$_FILES['uploadedfile'] is not the name of your upload field. $_FILES['uploaded file'] would be correct.

//HTML
<input type="file" name="uploaded file" />

//PHP
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

You also have some invalid HTML here, td cant have an action / method / enctype.

<td style= "position:absolute; top:272px; left:570px" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="html_form_send.php" method="POST" >

I suggest you do a print_r($_FILES) to see what the error is. The error will be in the array if there is one. I imagine it will work if you change the $_FILE key, your looking for a key that doesn't exist according to your HTML.

Hi Berridgeab, sorry for not responding sooner was away for 3 days, thanks again for your reply which resolved the problem but I need it to work for multiple files. Ive tried numerous methods over the last few days but nothings worked. The code below works well but the problem is the 2 files somehow merge into one during upload and when they get to the server and are either corrupt or only have one of the files info in them. Even though on the server the file has a combination of both names.

for example, if I upload filea.pdf and fileb.jpeg the filename on the server becomes filea.fileb.jpeg

<td style= "position:absolute; top:272px; left:570px"form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="html_form_send.php" method="post">
Upload file 1: <input type="file" name="selectedfile" />
</td>
<td style= "position:absolute; top:316px; left:570px"form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="html_form_send.php" method="post">
Upload file 2: <input type="file" name="selectedfile2" />
</td>

and the php to look like this:

$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['selectedfile']['name']) .basename( $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['selectedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile2']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename2( $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

most probably something minor and to do with basename but cant get final bit worked out. Any idea as to why its merging em? Thanks again

Because that is what you are telling it to name the file in this line:

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['selectedfile']['name']) .basename( $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name']);

In both file uploads, you are saving to the same path, therefore overwriting the first file upload.

ah ok that makes sense, any suggestion as to what might work instead?

hi all eventually created second directory on server called uploads2 and created new path? I guess which works. Code below. Happy enough, all I have to do is look in two different folders instead of one which isnt a biggie. Thanks loads for responses all, code below..

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['selectedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
   echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['selectedfile']['name']). 
   " has been uploaded"; 
} else{
   echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

$target_path = "uploads2/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile2']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
   echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name']). 
   " has been uploaded";
} else{
   echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";

}

Why do you need 2 directories? Store each file name in its own variable:

$target_path = "uploads/";
$fileName1 = $_FILES['selectedfile']['name'];
$fileName2 = $_FILES['selectedfile2']['name'];

$target_path1 = $target_path . $fileName1;
$target_path2 = $target_path . $fileName2;


if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path1))
{
 echo "The file ". $fileName1 . " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
 echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}


if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['selectedfile2']['tmp_name'], $target_path2))
{
 echo "The file ". $fileName2 ." has been uploaded";
}
else
{
 echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
