Uploading complete... now for the next issue

[rnb_cassanova]

hi guys,

 

As you may have seen I have completed the upload facility, i now need to be able to retrieve them from the destination file through the system. Can anyone help with a method?

 

Thanks

Don't understand what you want. Do you want to view all the picture in the directory now???

how did u upload the files?

 

I take it you moved the files into a created folder.. but have u saved the location of them into a database>!?

[rnb_cassanova]

 

i have a target folder where the users uploads defaults to but now i want to be able to see whats in that folder, but only that folder, so in essence the best way i can describe is something like this...

all of the files in one place, constantly updated and the user can download.

 

I hope im making sense,

 

Cheers

surely what you want is nothing like the example epsom page you gave.

You would need to loop through the directory and create links.

<?php
$dir = "path/to/dir";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {

  /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */

  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if($file != ".." && $file != "."){
    echo '<a href="'.$dir.$file.'" target="_blank" border=0>'.$file.'</a><br />';
    }
  }
}
?>

 

This will just create links.

Hi, im currently getting the following error

 

Warning: opendir(/Uploads) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No error in C:\wamp\www\DV8 System\TargetUploadsPage.php on line 3

 

I have changed the target directory, but am leaving something out. the file is within the root and called \uploads

 

Cheers lads

the directory either has to be linked from where the script is being run from or use the absolute path

 

$dir = "C:/wamp/www/uploads/";

 

or if I am reading correctly

 

$dir = "../uploads/";

 

the .. at the beginning will make the script go back one directory to the root then open the uploads directory

 

i know I forgot it in my last post but don't forget to add the slash in the link

echo '<a href="'.$dir."/".$file.'" target="_blank" border=0>'.$file.'</a><br />';

fantastic, it reads from the file correctly but when i click the link, I am not given the option of saving the file but instead an error that says Firefox cannot open the file. How can i rectify this, thanks for your help lads.

sorry forgot to say, also if i 'save target as' it will not download also.

it all depends on what kind of files they are. What type we talking about here.

[rnb_cassanova]

it will be image files, so JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG's i believe. any ideas?

 

cheers david

[craygo]

what is the code you are using now??

[rnb_cassanova]

the one you sent me the -

 

<?php
$dir = "C:/wamp/www/DV8 System/uploads";
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {

  /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */

  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if($file != ".." && $file != "."){
   echo '<a href="'.$dir."/".$file.'" target="_blank" border=0>'.$file.'';
    }
  }
}
?>

[craygo]

ok when I posted it I forgot to use the code tags so the end got cut off. Also changed it to use double quotes so you can put the line break at the end

 

echo "<a href=\"".$dir."/".$file."\" target=\"_blank\" border=0>$file</a><br>\n";

no cigar mate, im getting this error... http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d36/B_318is/error-upload.jpg

 

and on IE the link is dead.

 

Cheers

OK the problem is using the absolute path in the link to the picture. so you have to change the $dir to the relative path.

 

$dir = "uploads";

rmb,

 

Also here is the simple code I use to do the same thing...

 

<?php

$dn = opendir (wowadd);

$exclude = array("index.php", ".", "..", "download.php", "download.html", "download.php");

 

// adiciona os arquivos ao array $arquivos

while($fn = readdir($dn)) {

if ($fn == $exclude[0] || $fn == $exclude[1] || $fn == $exclude[2] || $fn == $exclude[3] || $fn == $exclude[4] || $fn == $exclude[5]) continue;

$arquivos[] = $fn;

}

// ordena o vetor

sort($arquivos);

// exibe os arquivos

 

foreach ($arquivos as $arquivo)

 

if (is_dir($arquivo)){

$dir .= "<img src='/wow.png'> <a href='$arquivo'>$arquivo</a><br>";

}else{

$tamanho = filesize($arquivo);

$m = 'bytes';

if ($tamanho>1024) {

$tamanho=round($tamanho/1024,2);

$m = 'KB';

} elseif($tamanho > 1024*1024){

$tamanho = round(($tamanho/1024)/1024,2);

$m = 'MB';

}

$arq .= "<img src='../wow.png'> <a href='$arquivo'>$arquivo</a> - $tamanho $m<br>";

}

echo $dir . $arq;

 

closedir($dn);

?>

 

currently it is set to the directory WOWADD which is in the same root folder as the calling script. Now if you figure out a way to have variable passed to this to change directories based on selection in the submiting form please let me know...

 

drop me a note at thezaphod04 AT gmail  DOT  com and we can comlaborate some..
