PHP Help (loop) 10 Points

[Josh]

Alright, I have this php script that helps me copy files to my server and I need help modding it so I can input a number of times to grab the file from another server (ex 15 times). If this can't be done, just make an infinite loop. This is to make many copies of the same file on the server. I believe this has something to do with php loops, although I have no PHP experience so this is just a guess. I realize there are other ways to do this, but I would like it this way.


edit: offering 20 points instead.

15 points to the person who can do this.

This is the PHP code:

<?

C:\htdocs\FOLDER (Windows)
$defaultDest = "/ho/";
$password = "";

// Operating System your SERVER Uses
//1 for Linux. 2 for Windows.
//I'm not sure but I think most Operating Systems other then Windows will use 1.
$os = "1";

echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">";
echo "<fieldset>\n<legend>Image Upload</legend>\n";
echo "<label for=\"file\">Full path to file to copy</label><br>";
echo "Example: http://www.google.ca/intl/en_ca/images/logo.gif<br>";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"file\" id=\"file\" size=\"35\" tabindex=\"1\" value=\"\"><br>";
echo "<label for=\"new\">New file name</label><br>";
echo "Example: google.gif<br>";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"new\" id=\"new\" size=\"35\" tabindex=\"2\" value=\"\"><br>";
if ($password) {
    echo "<label for=\"password\">Password</label><br>";
    echo "<input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" id=\"password\" size=\"35\" tabindex=\"3\" value=\"\"><br>";
}
echo "<p><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"submit\"></p>";
echo "</fieldset>\n</form>";

$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if($submit) {
if($password) {
    if ($_POST['password']!=$password) {
        echo "Password incorrect!";
        } else {
        $access = "09023578353";
        }
        } else {
$access = "09023578353";
}


if($access=="09023578353") {

if($os==2) {
    $slash="\\";
} else {
    $slash="/";
}

$file = $_POST['file'];
$newfilename = $_POST['new'];

if($_POST['otherdest']) {
    $dest = $_GET['otherdest'];
} else {
    $dest = $defaultDest;
}

$ds = array($dest, $slash, $newfilename);
$ds = implode("", $ds);

if (file_exists($ds)) {
    echo "File already exists! <br>\n Adding random digits to beginning of filename. <br>\n";
    $ds = array($dest, $slash, rand(0,9999), $newfilename);
    $ds = implode("", $ds);
}

echo "New destination $ds <br>\n";
if (!copy($file, $ds)) {
    echo "Was unable to copy $file <br>\n See if your path and destination are correct. \n";
} else {
    echo "<strong>Copy successful!</strong> \n";
}
}
}

?>

Anyone? 25 Points?

[Chris Z]

i believe you will get maybe like 1/4 of a script with 25 points, that's not even close to reasonable for this sort of job

[Josh]

Ok 180 points then, Its been a while since I was on the forums, a lot has changed since. 25 points used to be good amount of points.

I have no idea if this works

<?

$defaultDest = "/ho/";
$password = "";

//1 for Linux. 2 for Windows.
//I'm not sure but I think most Operating Systems other then Windows will use 1.

    echo "<strong>Copy successful!</strong> \n";
$num ++;
}
}
}
}

?>

it should, but I am at school where there is no server to test it on

if it errors on line 80 or so find this

$num ++; 

and replace with

$num++;

there aren't any errors, but the loop isn't working. It only grabs the file once, no matter how many numbers I put in.
