StormTheGates Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 You could do something like this I think: $type = $_POST['radio']; if($type == "pictures"){ $uploadto = "picturesir"; } elseif ($type== "movies){ $uploadto = "moviesdir" } else { $uploadto = "textdir"; } Or something like this?

chronister Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The code StormTheGates would work for you once you set a value for the radio button. Here is a mostly completed chunk. It will give you an idea about how to do this. I used a switch statement instead of if elseif elseif <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <p> <label> <input type="radio" name="location" value="pictures" /> Pictures</label> <br /> <label> <input type="radio" name="location" value="movies" /> Movies</label> <br /> <label> <input type="radio" name="location" value="music" /> Music</label> <br /> </p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /> </form> <?php if($_POST['submit']) { $location=$_POST['location']; switch($location) { case 'pictures'; $uploadto='/pictures'; break; case 'movies'; $uploadto='/movies'; break; case 'music'; $uploadto='/music'; break; default; $uploadto='/other'; break; } echo $uploadto; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50882-how-to-move-an-uploaded-image-to-certain-directory-with-radio-buttons/#findComment-250354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronister Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 One of a couple things.... Permissions. I was working on an upload script last night and found I had to chmod the directory to 0777 in order for it to move the file. Not sure on the copy() part. I thought you had to use move_uploaded_file() to get it to work. Here is a snippet of what I have for mine. $name=$_FILES['file_upload']['name']; $uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/members/docs/"; $uploaddir.=$name; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir)) { echo "Documents Updated!"; } else { echo "There was a problem when uploading the new file"; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50882-how-to-move-an-uploaded-image-to-certain-directory-with-radio-buttons/#findComment-250875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizerk Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Okay well it's not the actual uploading that i have problems with. it's just I don't understand how to implement that radio button instances you told me, with the upload function. here I will upload the entire script that i have that WORKS, but i don't see how i can make it so it uploads to certain directories... here is what i have that works: <!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>Joe Upload</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(images/index_09.gif); } body,td,th { color: #000000; } .style1 {font-size: 10px} a:link { color: #CC9900; } a:visited { color: #666600; } --> </style></head> <body> <form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div align="left"> <table width="527" border="1" align="center"> <tr> <td width="8" valign="top"> </td> <td colspan="2" valign="top" background="../images/hardwired.gif"><p class="style1"><b><u>LOGIN INFORMATION:</u></b><br /> Name: <input name="name" type="text" value="--CURRENTLY DISABLED--" /> <br /> <br /> Password: <input name="password" type="text" value="--CURRENTLY DISABLED--" /> </p> <p class="style1">Login is Currently Disabled.

chronister Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 A few things I can see right off the bat. 1) You have static upload fields, so put in the work and address each one independently instead of trying to use a foreach statement to get their contents. You are trying to use the $key variable before it is actually set. This won't work. 2) You have no reference to your location fields. You can set your location value as /images or /music. Just make the value of that field the actual path for where you want it to go. I don't think that your trying to move the files correctly, so I am going to show you how I would implement your location fields using the code I posted earlier. $location=$_POST['location']; // set a variable for the location form item $name=$_FILES['file_upload']['name']; $uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$location; $uploaddir.=$name; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir)) { echo "Documents Updated!"; } else { echo "There was a problem when uploading the new file"; } This would result in the path /var/www/test/pictures/cpuz.txt when the radio pictures was checked and uploading a file called cpuz.txt (I changed the value to /pictures) Take a look at this and post back if it don't clear anything up, and I will try to help later on. Right now I gotta take my kids to a Park to play for a while. Here is my working upload form, it uploads and moves the file correctly. Look over it and see how I am dong things and see where our code differs. if($_POST['submit']) { if($_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name']) { $file=$_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name']; if(is_uploaded_file($file)) { $name=$_FILES['file_upload']['name']; $size=fsize_convert($_FILES['file_upload']['size']); $uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/members/docs/"; $uploaddir.=$name; echo $uploaddir; echo '<br><br><br>'; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir)) { echo "Documents Updated!"; } else { echo "There was a problem when uploading the new file"; } } } } else { ?> <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1"> <table width="50%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td>Title</td> <td> <input name="title" type="text" id="title" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Description</td> <td> <textarea name="description" cols="35" rows="3" id="description"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>File</td> <td><input type="file" name="file_upload" id="file_upload" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50882-how-to-move-an-uploaded-image-to-certain-directory-with-radio-buttons/#findComment-250958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
