Hi Guys,

 

Im using this AJAX code i have found on the internet to use as a method of file sharing.

 

 

<?php
   // Edit upload location here
   $destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

   $result = 0;
   
   $target_path = $destination_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']);

   if(@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
      $result = 1;
   }
   
   sleep(1);
?>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.top.window.stopUpload(<?php echo $result; ?>);</script>   

 

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['username']) == false){
	header("Location: login.php");
	exit();
}
require "connect.php";

?>

      var result = '';
      if (success == 1){
         result = '<span class="msg">The file was uploaded successfully!<\/span><br/><br/>';
      }

      }
      document.getElementById('f1_upload_process').style.visibility = 'hidden';
      document.getElementById('f1_upload_form').innerHTML = result + '<label>File: <input name="myfile" type="file" size="30" /><\/label><label><input type="submit" name="submitBtn" class="sbtn" value="Upload" /><\/label>';
      document.getElementById('f1_upload_form').style.visibility = 'visible';      
      return true;   
}
//-->
</script>   
</head>

<body>
<?php
include ("header.php");
?>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="upload_target" onsubmit="startUpload();" >
    	<p id="f1_upload_process">Loading...<br/><img src="images/loader.gif" /><br/></p>
        <p id="f1_upload_form" align="center"><br/>
        	<label>File:  
            <input name="myfile" type="file" size="30" /></label>
            <label>
            <input type="submit" name="submitBtn" class="sbtn" value="Upload" /></label>
        </p>             
        <iframe id="upload_target" name="upload_target" src="#" style="width:0;height:0;border:0px solid #fff;"></iframe>
</form>              
</body>
</html>

 

Is it possible to display a table below the uploader of the documents in that directory so as if to show all the files that have been uploaded. Possibly creating links to all of them!?

 

Also how would i go about changing the code so the user can select where they wish to upload the file too rather than it uploading to the current working directory.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

If not wrong then you suppose not to allow your user to upload files anywhere on your server.Hence you would be having specific directory where user can upload their files.

 

Simply set $target_path=path/to/main/directory.

 

on user side list already existing directory this can be done by making ajax request to list the directory in the main directory.The user is having the option to select any of the one hence thru form you can send the $target_path and upload your temp files to $target_path.

 

this tweak will be done in both php and html file .

 

For showing the uploaded document you can do it also.Simply when the file is moved check if file_exists($newly_uploaded_file) on server and show that in html form.

i don't have any dummy example which match your requirement as you already have the file upload script with you then you can start going step by step.

 

i will suggest

 

first: write a php function to list the directories inmain directory

 

create a directory on server called 'userUploads' chmid 777

and create some subdirectory in this

like

userUploads

-flowers

-trees

-plants

(sub directory is your choice)

 

now write a php script to fetch userUpload and try ot list these sub directory.Once you are thru with this then create a ajax request to call that function and output them on your html form.

 

finish this much and let me know if you get stuck in somewhere while doing this.

 

Regards
