Renaming file upload


wrs223

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Would really appreciate some help.. Our website visitors upload photos to our site and I would the files to be renamed to avoid files being over written. 

 

Upload.PHP script is as follows :-

 

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"){
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "uploads/".$_FILES['file']['name'])){
echo($_POST['index']);
}
exit;
}
?>
 
Please can you advise what I need to change to ensure all files are renamed during / after the upload? We would like the file names to be a number 1 to 99 for example.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Will

Thanks for that?! 

 

I have protected the upload folder with .htaccess and can only accept photo files.. 

 

We are just beginners seeking some much needed help so if you can advise how we can rename files during uploading I would appreciate it.

I have a upload class I built that is very easy to use and allows unique naming of files. Plus if even a unique named file some how already exists in the folder, it can append a number notation to the file name. Now granted it's not designed to increment a file name internally, but it does have a class method to set the end file name. The method still uses the extension of the uploaded file, but will set the actual file name to what you tell it.

So in order to do it dynamically, you would maybe have to store all the file names in a database and use the auto-increment number of the row to set the filename of the upload. Or read the folder first and figure out what the highest number filename is in there and +1 it. Honestly that is not a good way to do it cause if more than one upload is happening at the same time, you could easily overwrite a file.

I honestly don't know if a htaccess is going to stop a bad image upload from executing code within it. Some best practices are to place the upload folder outside the root of the website so the uploader person can't access the folder in any way. Then set the folder permissions to 0700 so it can only be accessed by the php script. Then I use a serve-image script to display the image safely. Here is that file.

serve-image.php

$path = KEY_UPL_FOLDER; // Set your own path here
$img_path = $path.$_GET['image'];

$files = glob($path."*.{jpg, jpeg}", GLOB_BRACE); // Change the {jpg, jpeg} to the extensions the glob() should look for files, typically match what the upload extensions you set.

if(in_array($img_path, $files))
{
	header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
	readfile($img_path);
}

Then call the image in a script like this

// $image being the filename
<?php echo '<img src-"serve-image.php?image='.$image.'">'; ?>

There are full working examples at the top of the script. Make sure to read all the comments. Understand though, this was built to work on php 5.5 or higher. If you have a lower version php, the main things that would need to be edited is the use of [ ] for arrays compared to array() in older versions. I think I removed or edited everything that would make this work on any site. I had certain things in there that were specific to my CMS cause this wasn't really designed to be portable outside the CMS.

I hope this gets you going anyway.

Upload.class.php

/******* EXAMPLE CODE *******************************
Example useage for multiple file upload:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$sep_files = Upload::filesArraySeparation($_FILES['file1']); // REQUIRED
	
	foreach($sep_files as $file_array) // REQUIRED
	{
		$u = new Upload('file1', 'image', $file_array); // 3rd param required and set to array item from foreach loop
		$u->setMaxImageFileSize('1.2mb');
		$u->setImageExts(['jpg', 'png']);
		$u->setSaveFolder('images/t3/init');
		$u->queValidated(TRUE);
		$u->uniqueName(TRUE);
		$u->overwriteFile(FALSE);
		
		if($u->hasUpload(TRUE)) // MUST set hasUpload to TRUE
		{
			$u->validate();
		
			//echo Errors::setOut($u->errors()); // Optional, handle errors how you like
		}
	}
	
	$u->setQuedResults(); // REQUIRED
	$u->quedMove(); // REQUIRED
	diagDiv($u->getQuedFinalResults());
	
	//diagDiv($u->fullDump());
	//print_r($_SESSION['validated_uploads']);
}

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<input type="file" name="file1[]" multiple="multiple">
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

********************************************************
Another example with moving the file immediately after validation with multiple files uploaded:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$sep_files = Upload::filesArraySeparation($_FILES['file1']); // REQUIRED
	
	foreach($sep_files as $file_array) // REQUIRED
	{
		$u = new Upload('file1', 'image', $file_array); // 3rd param required and set to array item from foreach loop
		$u->setMaxImageFileSize('1.2mb');
		$u->setImageExts(['jpg', 'png']);
		$u->setSaveFolder('images/t3/init');
									
									// Removed $u->queValidated(TRUE); so the class uses normal single item processes.
									
		$u->uniqueName(TRUE);
		$u->overwriteFile(FALSE);
		
		if($u->hasUpload(TRUE)) // MUST set hasUpload to TRUE
		{
			$u->validate();
			$u->move();
		
			echo Errors::setOut($u->errors()); // Optional, handle errors how you like
		}
	}
}

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<input type="file" name="file1[]" multiple="multiple">
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>


********************************************************
Example usage for single file upload:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$u = new Upload('file1', 'image');
	$u->setMaxImageFileSize('1.2mb');
	$u->setImageExts(['jpg', 'png']);
	$u->setSaveFolder('images/t3/init');
	$u->uniqueName(TRUE);
	$u->overwriteFile(FALSE);
	
	if($u->hasUpload())
	{
		$u->validate();
	
		echo Errors::setOut($u->errors()); // Optional, handle errors how you like
	}
	
	$u->move(); // REQUIRED
	
	//diagDiv($u->fullDump());
}

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<input type="file" name="file1">
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
