How to tell user where file was uploaded too?

Hi everyone, just wondering - how can you inform the user one where their uploaded file has gone too (including the filename)?

 

Here is my script which uploads to "/images/":

 

<?php
session_start();

$storage = 'images/';

$now= date("Y-m-d_Gis_");

$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );
//$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
echo( '1 ' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

}else{
echo( '0');
}
?>

 

I have tried inserting the following on the file upload confirmation page but it doesn't seem to show the link:

 

<a href = "<?php echo $_SESSION['name']; ?>">

 

Any ideas? Any help really appreciated!

 

Regards,

James.

Hi, I have tried the following:

 

<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div align="center">
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="style1">File Location:</p>
<?php


echo '<a href="http://rds.vee-media.com/'.$storage."/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'].'">Your file</a>';
?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

 

But it just links to http://rds.vee-media.com// ?

Are you being serious...?

Thats obviously going to happen because its on a different page.

If you want to do that on a seperate page you will have to use sessions.

Ill start you off:


<?php
session_start();

$storage = 'images/';

$now= date("Y-m-d_Gis_");

$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );
//$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
echo( '1 ' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
$_SESSION['filename'] = $storage."/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

}else{
echo( '0');
}
?>

Im pretty sure:

$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

should be this though:

$uploadfile = "$storage" . basename( $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

 

otherpage:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div align="center">
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="style1">File Location:</p>
<?php


echo '<a href="http://rds.vee-media.com/'.$_SESSION['filename'].'">Your file</a>';
?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

 

May be some minor errors since I didnt it quickly.

That seemed to  work, yes! But it is looking for the original filename (when you link to it), but in the PHP, it adds the date to  the begining of the file so the confirmation link would link too:

 

http://rds.vee-media.com/images/Freestyle.jpg

 

But the real file would be

 

http://rds.vee-media.com/images/2007-03-11_135905_Freestyle.jpg

 

Any idea???

P.S Thanks for your help!

you should do this then:

<?php
session_start();

$storage = 'images/';

$now= date("Y-m-d_Gis_");

$newname = $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

$uploadfile = "$storage/" . $newname;
//$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
echo( '1 ' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
$_SESSION['filename'] = $storage."/".$newname;

}else{
echo( '0');
}
?>

You need: (for size and type):

<?php
session_start();

$storage = 'images/';

$now= date("Y-m-d_Gis_");

$newname = $now.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

$uploadfile = "$storage/" . $newname;
//$uploadfile = "$storage/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
echo( '1 ' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

$_SESSION['filename'] = $storage."/".$newname;
$_SESSION['type'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['type'];
$_SESSION['size'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['size'];

}else{
echo( '0');
}
?>

 

and:


<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div align="center">
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="style1">File Location:</p>
<?php


echo '<a href="http://rds.vee-media.com/'.$_SESSION['filename'].'">Your file</a><br>';
echo "Size: " . $_SESSION['size'] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_SESSION['type'] . "<br>";
?>

</div>
</body>
</html>
