FortMyersDrew Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I want to add a forum that you can add a description of the file you upload that goes with the file that you upload UPLOAD FORM <?php // filename: upload.form.php // first let's set some variables // make a note of the current working directory relative to root. $directory_self = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // make a note of the location of the upload handler $uploadHandler = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $directory_self . 'upload.processor.php'; // set a max file size for the html upload form $max_file_size = 30000; // size in bytes // now echo the html page ?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> <title>Upload form</title> </head> <body> <form id="Upload" action="<?php echo $uploadHandler ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <h1> Upload form </h1> <p> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo $max_file_size ?>"> </p> <p> <label for="file">File to upload:</label> <input id="file" type="file" name="file"> </p> <p> <label for="submit">Press to...</label> <input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload me!"> </p> </form> </body> </html> UPLOAD PROCESSOR <?php // filename: upload.processor.php // first let's set some variables // make a note of the current working directory, relative to root. $directory_self = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // make a note of the directory that will recieve the uploaded files $uploadsDirectory = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $directory_self .

MadTechie Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 See fwrite example <?php $filename = 'test.txt'; $somecontent = "Add this to the file\n"; // Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first. if (is_writable($filename)) { // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode. // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it. if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) { echo "Cannot open file ($filename)"; exit; } // Write $somecontent to our opened file. if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) { echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)"; exit; } echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)"; fclose($handle); } else { echo "The file $filename is not writable"; } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57883-how-do-i-add-a-forum-to-this/#findComment-287269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 1. create a form with description. 2. on the action page use $_GET or $_POST (depends on the method) to get the passed value. 3. use the fwrite to write to file. 4. build into the current script you have. any problems post what you have created in addition to the above scripts Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57883-how-do-i-add-a-forum-to-this/#findComment-287289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
