PHP message upload.

**bigjoe4** · 04-26-2008 05:23 AM

On this page: http://www.lights4yourpc.com/pictures.html I have an image upload thingy, but I want to add a field for the person to upload their name and a comment with their image aswell. The name/comment could be emailed to me or uploaded into some kind of text file or something.

I want there to only be one 'submit' button for both the file upload and the name and comment.

I don't have any idea how to do this as I just copy and pasted the code for the image upload thingy from somewhere else, so can anyone help me do this?

I will give generous credits to whoever gets this working first.

note: I know almost nothing about PHP

That doesn't sound too hard, can you paste the image upload script here or PM it to me so that I can take a look at it and modify it?

**bigjoe4** · 04-26-2008 05:39 AM

Here it is.

upload_file.php:

Code:

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "folder/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

Ok I have made it so it sends you an email after they have uploaded an image, if you need more information in the email or anything please just say and I'll fix it, you replace person@email.com with your email address.

upload_file.php -

PHP Code:


<?php

//Email function.
function send_email($name, $comment) {
    //Set vars.
    $to = "person@email.com";
    $subject = "Image uploaded by " . $name;
    $message = "An image has been uploaded, the details are below.\n\nName: " . $name . "\nComments: " . $comments . "\n\nThanks, your website";
    $from = "From: <$name>";
    
    //Send email.
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
}

//Check for image types.
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000) && isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['comment'])) {
    //Check for an error.
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
        //If an error, tell the user.
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    } else {
        //Show upload details.
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
        
        //Check if the file exists.
        if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
            //If the file exists, tell the user.
            echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
        } else {
            //Upload the image.
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
            //Inform the user.
            echo "Stored in: " . "folder/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
            
            //Send the email.
            send_email($_POST['name'], $_POST['comment']);
        }
    }
    
} else {
    //Tell the user file is invalid or they have left a field blank.
    echo "You have either left a field blank in the form or have uploaded the wrong kind of file, please go <a href=\"pictures.html\" >back</a> and try again.";
}

?>

Oh and for that php script I forgot to say I added comments everywhere and tried to make it more readable so you can see whats going on, if you have an instant messenger it would be easier to work this out over that.

I have uploaded the files and it does not work, it just sais "You have either left a field blank in the form or have uploaded the wrong kind of file, please go back and try again."

**lszanto** · 04-26-2008 06:24 AM

Ah man i'm dumb, I think I found it, I just misspelt a word.

PHP Code:



<?php

//Email function.
function send_email($name, $comment) {
    //Set vars.
    $to = "person@email.com";
    $subject = "Image uploaded by " . $name;
    $message = "An image has been uploaded, the details are below.\n\nName: " . $name . "\nComments: " . $comments . "\n\nThanks, your website";
    $from = "From: <$name>";
    
    //Send email.
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
}

//Check for image types.
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000) && isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['comments'])) {
    //Check for an error.
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
        //If an error, tell the user.
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    } else {
        //Show upload details.
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
        
        //Check if the file exists.
        if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
            //If the file exists, tell the user.
            echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
        } else {
            //Upload the image.
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
            //Inform the user.
            echo "Stored in: " . "folder/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
            
            //Send the email.
            send_email($_POST['name'], $_POST['comments']);
        }
    }
    
} else {
    //Tell the user file is invalid or they have left a field blank.
    echo "You have either left a field blank in the form or have uploaded the wrong kind of file, please go <a href=\"pictures.html\" >back</a> and try again.";
}

?>
