I want to add validation or change the file name if there is a file name that already exists in the folder
$image = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$target_dir = "../file/upload/201902/28/";
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $target_dir.$image);
First of all validation and changing file name is not same...
You can find file name if exist in that particular folder by "file_exists" php function.
To avoid this problem, you need to take unique filename by various method...
You can take timestamp as filename....
$image = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$tmp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$time=time();
$filename = $tmp."_".$time;
$target_dir = "../file/upload/201902/28/";
move_uploaded_file($filename, $target_dir.$image);

I know that move_uploaded_file() sets the name of the uploaded file and sets the destination also. I have this:
$sourcePath = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; // Storing source path of the file in a variable
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/img/profiles/'.$_FILES['file']['name']; // Target path where file is to be stored
move_uploaded_file($sourcePath,$targetPath) ; // Moving Uploaded file`
I have tried explode $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] but I don't get to change the name of my uploaded file to my POST variable $newfile=$_POST["something"];
Thank you in advance
I am using
//File name
$file_name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$file_name = preg_replace('/\\.[^.\\s]{3,4}$/', '', $file_name);
// get extension
$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// change name
$imagename = $file_name . time() . "." . $ext;
Set the entire upload path with the file name in $targetpath variable.
In you code
$sourcePath = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$newfile=$_POST["something"]; //any name sample.jpg
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/img/profiles/'.$newfile;
move_uploaded_file($sourcePath,$targetPath) ;
Now the uploaded file name is sample.jpg
I think this will helpful for you.
I have a certain code for image upload .I found this on the internet and there was no explanation of the code either.What i can understand from the code is that php upload a certain file makes it a temporary file and then moves the temporary file to the original location
Code Looks something like this
$filename = $_FILES["img"]["tmp_name"];
list($width, $height) = getimagesize( $filename );
move_uploaded_file($filename, $imagePath . $_FILES["img"]["name"]);
What happens now is that when i try to provide an unique name to the image when it is being moved using the move_uploaded_file then a file does come up inside the folder but it says an invalid file and with the extension type of file.
My code for trying to achieve the same but with an unique name/id for the uploaded image.
$uniquesavename=time().uniqid(rand());
$filename = $_FILES["img"]["tmp_name"];
list($width, $height) = getimagesize( $filename );
move_uploaded_file($filename, $imagePath . $uniquesavename);
How to achieve the same as before and could you please explain me the previous code as well?
Sample code:
// Get file path from post data by using $_FILES
$filename = $_FILES["img"]["tmp_name"];
// Make sure that it's a valid image which can get width and height
list($width, $height) = getimagesize( $filename );
// Call php function move_uploaded_file to move uploaded file
move_uploaded_file($filename, $imagePath . $_FILES["img"]["name"]);
Please try this one:
// Make sure this imagePath is end with slash
$imagePath = '/root/path/to/image/folder/';
$uniquesavename=time().uniqid(rand());
$destFile = $imagePath . $uniquesavename . '.jpg';
$filename = $_FILES["img"]["tmp_name"];
list($width, $height) = getimagesize( $filename );
move_uploaded_file($filename, $destFile);
Edit 1:
To get image type in two ways:
Get the file type from upload file name.
Use php function as below
CODE
// Get details of image
list($width, $height, $typeCode) = getimagesize($filename);
$imageType = ($typeCode == 1 ? "gif" : ($typeCode == 2 ? "jpeg" : ($typeCode == 3 ? "png" : FALSE)));
$name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$location = "uploads/";
$new_name = $location.time()."-".rand(1000, 9999)."-".$name;
if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $new_name)){
echo "uploaded";
}
else{
sleep(rand(1,5));
$new_name = $location.time()."-".rand(1000, 9999)."-".$name;
if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $new_name)){
echo "uploaded";
}
else{
echo"failed, better luck next time";
}
}
here, location is folder inside directory, i mainly create folder "uploads"
time() adds timestamp , which is always unique, until two person upload at same time, which is rare.
moreover, adding 4 digit random number to it , making combination rarest
after that adding actual file name , to making combination unique.
why i use it :
u can extract timestamp later if u need to know when image was uploaded.
u can extract actual filename too.
Lets, say our so unique combination somehow fails,
then, php instance will wait for 1 to 5 second whatever random number is generated. and rename with latest timestamp and regenerated random number.
It's the best u can think of without being resource hog.
you can use
$strtotime = strtotime("now");
$filename = $strtotime.'_'.$_FILES['file']['name'];
I have been trying to change the name of a file after an upload with my script.
I want every file to be named as "testing". Later I am going to change "testing" to a
variable that gets a unique name. Now I just want to change the name to "testing".
Also the script always says error although the file are uploaded.
Can I get some help here please?
Here is my code:
<?php
$uploadDir = 'images/'; //Image Upload Folder
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$fileName = $_FILES['Photo']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['Photo']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['Photo']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['Photo']['type'];
$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
exit;
}
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}
$query = "INSERT INTO $db_table ( Image ) VALUES ('$filePath')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
}
?>
I think you need
$fileName = "testing"; //maybe add extension
instead of getting original filename from $_FILES. Although after the file is moved you may end up with a situation of overwriting existing files as they all has the same name. To prevent that (for testing purposes) you may add something to $fileName, maybe a short random string.
I am using the code bellow to upload a file using php and inserting file name into database. Actually I want to rename of file on uploading and want to insert new renamed name into database. I know how to insert name into database but I don't know how to rename uploaded file name. Please help.
I am using code bellow:
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target);
$add_file = $_FILES['uploaded']['name'];
Thank you so much..
Is this what you are looking for?
<?php
rename("/tmp/uploaded_file.txt", "/home/user/login/uploaded/67A7466B576.txt");
?>
So new code will be:
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']);
rename($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target);
$add_file_to_db = $target;
This might be helpful for you:
$uploaded_file = time()."__".$_FILES['uploaded']['name'];
This simply adds time before the name of the file.
Example:
If I uploaded the AnalysisReport.doc file, then it simply becomes like 1354173106__AnalysisReport.doc
Below I have included my code that uploads multiple images to a folder and the path to mysql. I am brand new so please excuse me for such a silly question but I can not figure where to start with sending this timestamp or $fileName value to mysql.
<?php
require_once('storescripts/connect.php');
mysql_select_db($database_phpimage,$phpimage);
$uploadDir = 'upload/';
if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{
foreach ($_FILES as $file)
{
$fileName = $file['name'];
$tmpName = $file['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $file['size'];
$fileType = $file['type'];
if ($fileName != ""){
$filePath = $uploadDir;
$fileName = str_replace(" ", "_", $fileName);
//Split the name into the base name and extension
$pathInfo = pathinfo($fileName);
$fileName_base = $pathInfo['fileName'];
$fileName_ext = $pathInfo['extension'];
//now we re-assemble the file name, sticking the output of uniqid into it
//and keep doing this in a loop until we generate a name that
//does not already exist (most likely we will get that first try)
do {
$fileName = $fileName_base . uniqid() . '.' . $fileName_ext;
} while (file_exists($filePath.$fileName));
$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath.$fileName);
}
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}
$fileinsert[]=$filePath;
}
$cat=$_POST['cat'];//this is the category the product is stored in
$about=$_POST['about'];//this is some general information about the item
$price=$_POST['price'];//the price of the item
$item=$_POST['item'];//the name of the item
$name1=basename($_FILES['image01'][$fileName]);//the file name of the first actual jpg
$name2=basename($_FILES['image02'][$fileName]);//the file name of the sencond actual jpg
$name3=basename($_FILES['image03'][$fileName]);//the file name of the third actual jpg
$name4=basename($_FILES['image04'][$fileName]);//the file name of the fourth actual jpg
$query = "INSERT INTO image (mid, cid, about, price, item, name1, name2, name3, name4) ".
"VALUES ('','$cat','$about','$price','$item','$name1','$name2','$name3','$name4')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error()); }
?>
If I understand your question correctly, you need to change:
$fileinsert[]=$filePath;
to:
$fileinsert = array(); // initialize the variable before the loop
...
$fileinsert[]=$filePath.$fileName; // or just $fileName if you don't need the path in the DB
and then you need to change:
$name1=basename($_FILES['image01'][$fileName]);//the file name of the first actual jpg
$name2=basename($_FILES['image02'][$fileName]);//the file name of the sencond actual jpg
$name3=basename($_FILES['image03'][$fileName]);//the file name of the third actual jpg
$name4=basename($_FILES['image04'][$fileName]);//the file name of the fourth actual jpg
to:
$name1=$fileinsert[0];
$name2=$fileinsert[1];
$name3=$fileinsert[2];
$name4=$fileinsert[3];
Something like that should do it.
