[PHP] Creating a File Upload Script

[Corey]

Hmmm. I know. I got it from there, didn't say it was mine.

Please give credit in the post when it comes from some where else :grin:

"This" has happened more then once now.. You take a tutorial from another site and act as if it if yours. Just give credit to the people who make/made them, it's not that hard.

To get back on topic.. I found a nice file upload function/form on php.net. All you have to do is echo teh function, and it's all set up nice. Has multiple options for the "amount" of files, teh directory, the max upload size, etc. Let me check.


Edit:

26-Apr-2005 11:00 I needed a file uploader for a client a little while ago, then the client didn't want it, so I'll share with all of you. I know I hated coding it, it was confusing (for me anyway), but I made it fairly simple to use:

<?
function uploader($num_of_uploads=1, $file_types_array=array("txt"), $max_file_size=1048576, $upload_dir=""){
  if(!is_numeric($max_file_size)){
    $max_file_size = 1048576;
  }
  if(!isset($_POST["submitted"])){
$form = "<form action='".$PHP_SELF."' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>Upload files:<br /><input type='hidden' name='submitted' value='TRUE' id='".time()."'><input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='".$max_file_size."'>";
    for($x=0;$x<$num_of_uploads;$x++){
      $form .= "<input type='file' name='file[]'><font color='red'>*</font><br />";
    }
$form .= "<input type='submit' value='Upload'><br /><font color='red'>*</font>Maximum file length (minus extension) is 15 characters. Anything over that will be cut to only 15 characters. Valid file type(s): ";
    for($x=0;$x<count($file_types_array);$x++){
      if($x<count($file_types_array)-1){
        $form .= $file_types_array[$x].", ";
      }else{
        $form .= $file_types_array[$x].".";
      }
    }
    $form .= "</form>";
    echo($form);
  }else{
    foreach($_FILES["file"]["error"] as $key => $value){
      if($_FILES["file"]["name"][$key]!=""){
        if($value==UPLOAD_ERR_OK){
          $origfilename = $_FILES["file"]["name"][$key];
          $filename = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"][$key]);
          $filenameext = $filename[count($filename)-1];
          unset($filename[count($filename)-1]);
          $filename = implode(".", $filename);
          $filename = substr($filename, 0, 15).".".$filenameext;
          $file_ext_allow = FALSE;
          for($x=0;$x<count($file_types_array);$x++){
            if($filenameext==$file_types_array[$x]){
              $file_ext_allow = TRUE;
            }
          }
          if($file_ext_allow){
            if($_FILES["file"]["size"][$key]<$max_file_size){
             if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$key], $upload_dir.$filename)){
             echo("File uploaded successfully. - <a href='".$upload_dir.$filename."' target='_blank'>".$filename."</a><br />");
              }else{
             echo($origfilename." was not successfully uploaded<br />");
              }
            }else{
             echo($origfilename." was too big, not uploaded<br />");
            }
          }else{
         echo($origfilename." had an invalid file extension, not uploaded<br />");
          }
        }else{
          echo($origfilename." was not successfully uploaded<br />");
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
?>

uploader([int num_uploads [, arr file_types [, int file_size [, str upload_dir ]]]]);

num_uploads = Number of uploads to handle at once.

file_types = An array of all the file types you wish to use. The default is txt only.

file_size = The maximum file size of EACH file. A non-number will results in using the default 1mb filesize.

upload_dir = The directory to upload to, make sure this ends with a /

This functions echo()'s the whole uploader, and submits to itself, you need not do a thing but put uploader(); to have a simple 1 file upload with all defaults.
