[SOLVED] Send files on the server

[gordon.c]

Hello

 

I have come to a problem when I need to get some files on the web server using php... I have used some functions that opened the save/load dialog but never worked

 

Can you please post the code I need for this? Or to post a link where is this being described?

 

Thank you in advance

You mean file handling.  Google "File handling tutorial".  Basically you need

* A form for them to be able to submit the files

* The error validation (check make sure the file has the right extension, or whatever else you want to verify).

* The processor

You are going to need to process the file in multiple ways.  There are 2 steps.  It's transition to temporary data, then from there over to actual server hard disk space.  The temporary is generally done on it's on.  Depending if you have the ini options set properly.  If they are then you are just able to take the file and use PHP's various built in file handling functions.  Google "PHP File Handling Functions" to get multiple references related to file handling.  For another resource you can also visit www.w3schools.com and choose "PHP" on the left side navigation.  Once there you can navigate to the information pages and on the left hand side you will see information about filehandling.  Go there for full reference listings as well tutorial examples.  Another option would be to google "PHP File Handling Classes" if you know some about object oriented programming, and want to slim down the process of learning file handling (or if your in a hurry).

Hi

 

The codes are pretty much the same so there is not much to do wrong... Still My uploader fails to work.

 

<form method="post"> 
<input type="file" name="filething" />
<input type="submit valie="go">
<?php //Setting the preliminary variables.
$dirThing = "uploads/files/"; //Where the file is to be copied to.
$actZip = $_POST['filething']; //Leave this. Gets the file from the HTML page.
$finZip = $dirThing.$actZip; //Leave this.

//If successfuly uploaded, give happy message. Otherwise, error the guy. Or gal.
if(copy($actZip, $finZip)) {
//Successful
  echo 'File Uploaded Successfully';
}
//Error
else {
  echo 'Error uploading file. Please try again';
}

//End of script. ?>
</form>

 

By the way this code is from http://www.apdz.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=165&sid=.

Maybe I forgot to add something important to the code?

Im afriad your code isn't really anything like the examples given. Some of the things missing:

 

1.) You need to specify an ENCTYPE of "multipart/form-data" in the form tag

2.) You need a form field called MAX_FILE_SIZE

3.) The information regarding files is contained in the $_FILES superglobal, not $_POST

 

See: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php for an example form and example php.

[gordon.c]

Sorry still dont get the sollution

 

<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" name='send' value="Send File" />
</form>

<?php
if($_GET['send'])
{
// In PHP versions earlier than 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead
// of $_FILES.

$uploaddir = 'http://funbox.wz.cz/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
	echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
	echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}

echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);

print "</pre>";
}
?>

What is wrong with this code?

add error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of your script and post any errors along with the line of code that error is on

[gordon.c]

add error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of your script and post any errors along with the line of code that error is on

 

Warning: Undefined index: send in c:\apache\htdocs\upload.php on line 12

 

This warning it shows before and even after the send...

[john010117]

Put:

if(isset($_POST['send']))

 

in place of if($_GET['send'])

[pkSML]

$uploaddir = 'http://funbox.wz.cz/';

 

You need to save the file locally with the filesystem. You can't save a file to a URL.

[gordon.c]

This works better thanks for that...

if(isset($_POST['send']))

 

About the uploading path... Where should I upload it in terms of 'http://funbox.wz.cz/' ?

 

[gordon.c]

Problem solved... found the right code

 

thx everyone for help
