Upload Button

if i wanted to add an upload button to my website how would i go about it?

basiclly i want users to be able to choose a file and upload it to http:// www.example.com/uploads/

Just a quick demo from w3 schools,

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> 
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

This will explain everything,

http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a5694701/public_html/upload_file.php on line 39

Whats on your line 39 of upload_file.php?

&& ($_FILES[“file”][“size”] < 20000MB))

All you should need is the form in the post above and the script below,

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
 {
 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: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
     }
   }
 }
else
 {
 echo "Invalid file";
 }
?>

What that is doing is going to do is allow the upload a,

“image/gif”

“image/jpeg”

“image/pjpeg”

To a folder on your server called “upload/” change to what you want and you will need to allow write permissions

Remove the MB

Ok so this is my upload_file.php

<?php

if ($_FILES[“file”][“error”] > 0)

{

echo "Error: " . $_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 "Stored in: " . $_FILES[“file”][“tmp_name”];

}

?>

<?php

if ($_FILES[“file”][“error”] > 0)

{

echo "Error: " . $_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 "Stored in: " . $_FILES[“file”][“tmp_name”];

}

?>

<?php

if ((($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/gif”)

|| ($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/jpeg”)

|| ($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/pjpeg”))

&& ($_FILES[“file”][“size”] < 20000))

{

if ($_FILES[“file”][“error”] > 0)

{

echo "Error: " . $_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 "Stored in: " . $_FILES[“file”][“tmp_name”];

}

}

else

{

echo “Invalid file”;

}

?>

<?php

if ((($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/gif”)

|| ($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/jpeg”)

|| ($_FILES[“file”][“type”] == “image/pjpeg”))

&& ($_FILES[“file”][“size”] < 20000))

{

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(“/wp-content/uploads/” . $_FILES[“file”][“name”]))

{

echo $_FILES[“file”][“name”] . " already exists. ";

}

else

{

move_uploaded_file($_FILES[“file”][“tmp_name”],

“upload/” . $_FILES[“file”][“name”]);

echo "Stored in: " . “/wp-content/uploads/” . $_FILES[“file”][“name”];

}

}

}

else

{

echo “Invalid file”;

}

?>

I think i see what you have done, clear that file and use,

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
 {
 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("/wp-content/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
     {
     echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
     }
   else
     {
     move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
     "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
     echo "Stored in: " . "/wp-content/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
     }
   }
 }
else
 {
 echo "Invalid file";
 }
?>

Try that see how you get on.

i keep getting

InvalidFile

Is the file you’re uploading a jpg, pjpg (whatever that is) or a gif and under 20mb?

Is the file you’re uploading a jpg, pjpg (whatever that is) or a gif and under 20mb?

i tried a .jpg and .gif and i wouldnt think any picture could be over 20MB these ones definetly arent over that they where very small banners

you can try yourself if you want

http://fshanger.webatu.com/upload.php

Invalid File, upload a .zip file only

dont mind the last bit the file extenions are still jpg, jpeg, gif i just changed that bit because i plan to only allow .zip files

If its complaining about the file type then remove the checking from the loop and add one at a time back in to it see whats happening, sorry i dont have much time at the mo or i would test for you.

OK this is really basic and i mean basic.

Your html form,

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_file.php" method="POST">
Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

Your upload script

Change the target to your folder you want to upload to

<<?php 
$target = "test/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
$ok=1; 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} 
else {
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>

Just tested the above example and it works OK on my test server

I’ll check that out tomorow after school I’ll let you knw how It turns out

Connection times out
