Upload Button

[Conor]

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,

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

&& ($_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

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.

[Conor]

i keep getting

InvalidFile

[Tom]

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

[Conor]

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

[mark1million]

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.

[mark1million]

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

[Conor]

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