How to Move an Uploaded image to Certain directory with RADIO buttons

bizerk · May 11, 2007

lets say i have a <input type="radio" name="pictures" value="">

I want it so when the radio button named 'pictures' is clicked and a picture is submitted that it will upload to the already existing folder... /pictures...I already have the entire upload function coded I just need some help or an EXAMPLE of what this function would look like... like can someone write up a quick example of this? with the IF statement and everything

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?

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;
}
?>

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";
			  
			}

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:

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">

<tr>

<td>Title</td>

<td>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Description</td>

<td>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</td>

</tr>
