Uploader

[oolongdavies]

Hi,

 

I have some code to upload files to a server but I am having difficulty modifying it to:

 

1. Only upload PDF files

2. rename the filename to a session variable called $filename

 

For some reason, at the moment my code will allow me to upload all file types except for PDF files!

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

HEre's my code:

 

$target_path = "uploads/";


$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];  
$target_path = "uploads/";

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

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!";
}

 

Thanks for looking.

Ill break down this in the same order you as the question.

 

 

1. You need to separate the file name from the extension then compare to see if its the extension you want.

 

So something like this.

 

    $ext = explode(".",basename($file));
    $ext = $ext[count($ext)-1];
   
    if($ext == "pdf")
   { DO SOMETHING }

 

2. What ever your source name is its what your file will be named....So you have

 

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

 

Just change that to

 

$target_path = $target_path . $filename; 

 

 

Hope that helped you out.
