I have been looking for a way to upload videos and photos using HTML and PHP.
I have found this piece and code and it has been working fine, but when I upload things from an iPhone they just upload with the name 'Image'. Is there anyway that if a file with the same name already exists, is will add a number to the end it of so they are not longer the same?
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<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>
</body>
</html>
PHP:
<?php
$allowedExts = array(
"jpg",
"jpeg",
"gif",
"png"
);
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") ||
($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") ||
($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) &&
($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000) && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {
if ($_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";
}
?>
Also, when I try this with MOV files, it returns an error on line 10. An ideas?
As it has been pointed out earlier, the answer to your first quest is found here: How to rename uploaded file before saving it into a directory?
As Ben Fortune states, you might use
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$newfilename = round(microtime(true)) . '.' . end($temp);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "../img/imageDirectory/" . $newfilename);
As for the second question, whenever you upload a .mov file, the script checks whether the file extension is in $allowedExts array, which is defined like this:
$allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
What you have to do is to add .mov into it:
$allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png", "mov");

So my problem is I get the message "Invalid File". This only happens when I try to upload video type files. However when I try to upload an image it works like a charm. I've searched all over stackoverflow for other video file upload codes and still couldn't find any that worked. Anyone that could refer another question/solution to me and/or fix this problem will greatly be appreciated.
EXTRA NOTE
I've already tried adding echo "Its type is " . $_FILES["file"]["type"]; to debug what file type is being given however it just returns a nice white space.
Change this part
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
to
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
echo "Its type is " . $_FILES["file"]["type"];
}
Now upload the files that don't work and add those types to your list
Apparently the problem only was because the php.ini was set to only accept 10M the file I was uploading was over 15MB and so I guess it gave me the error. But shouldn't that give me the error file-size is too much or something? But that's basically the reason I got the error. :)
I am new to PHP and I'm trying to make an upload script. But it doesn't work completely.
The thing that doesn't work is that when I have uploaded the photo it doesn't store the photo in the folder "uploads". (The folder location is: Applications > MAMP > htdocs > Marjolein)
Also I want to show the photo that has been uploaded in the browser, but this also doesn't work.
I work with a Mac and use MAMP to run my php code. Can you please help me so I can show the picture in the browser and that it will be stored in the folder "uploads"?
The code I have is:
uploader.php
<style>
.sucess{
color:#088A08;
}
.error{
color:red;
}
</style>
<?php
$file_exts = array("jpg", "bmp", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
$upload_exts = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000)
&& in_array($upload_exts, $file_exts))
{
if ($_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>";
// Enter your path to upload file here
if (file_exists("://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" .
$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo "<div class='error'>"."(".$_FILES["file"]["name"].")".
" already exists. "."</div>";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],

The webbrowser shows after I click on the submit button:
Upload: 0_8caab_996cc75d_orig.jpg
Type: image/jpeg

Temp file: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phptpCA8B
Stored in: ://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/0_8caab_996cc75d_orig.jpg
Try to echo the image after uploading: (Don´t know about the storage of the image)
echo '<img src="://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]" border=0>';
Place it here:
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "<div class='sucess'>"."Stored in: " .
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]."</div>";
echo '<img src="://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]" border=0>';
}
Maybe the path to the file is not correct. i think you can try this instead of your previous path:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"../uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
or if the folder "uploads" is located at in the same as the uploader.php you can use this:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
I would so appreciate some help here please. I have been struggling without success for a full day to upload images to a shared host running Zeus (rather than apache--yes I know, they are changing!). The host blames the code yet wont tell me why "as they are not programmers" I have tried so many different version of the form script I am out of options. I have of course checked the upload limits on the php ini file configs (which I am not allowed to change by the host) and they are both 128meg. So it looks unlikely that is the cause. The outcome of the scripts is that we get to the final ''successfully loaded the file'' message but the files size loaded is zero (so there is nothing new in the target directory). I am relatively new to php so please do go easy on the jargon. Thank you.
Here are the two files>> First the form...
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="anewupload.php" method="POST">
Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
and the php file refered to by the form...
<?php
$target = "uploads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=1;
//This is our size condition
if ($uploaded_size >350000)
{
echo "Your file is too large.<br>";
$ok=0;
}
//This is our limit file type condition
if ($uploaded_type =="text/php")
{
echo "No PHP files<br>";
$ok=0;
}
//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error
if ($ok==0)
{
Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded";
}
//If everything is ok we try to upload it
else
{
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded to..";
echo $target;
echo "..The uploaded file size is $uploaded_size";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
}
?>
First make sure the uploads folder exists and that is has write permissions set to either 755 or 777
Plus, you have two unassigned variables, $uploaded_size and $uploaded_type, so that will fail.
You would need to use something like if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] <350000) etc. probably another reason why it's failing.
Give this a try, see if this works for you, it's what I use:
Modify $allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png"); for permitted file extensions.
It will upload only if size is less than 350000
NOTE: Change <input name="uploaded" type="file" /> to <input name="file" type="file" /> see form under handler code.
<?php
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 350000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
{
if ($_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("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
Also change your form to this to reflect the PHP handler:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="anewupload.php" method="POST">
Please choose a file: <input name="file" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

i am trying to upload an image.
<input name="files" type="file" id="files">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Add" />
After Posting Data,
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$path="panel/images"."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"], $path);
}
?>
but it does not upload the file.
make sure that you have specified enctype in form tag
<form action="test.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
Change this:-
$path="panel/images"."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"];
to
$path="panel/images"."/". basename($_FILES["files"]["name"]);
You have used id="files" in form but you are using "file" in your php code.
i think it should be like
$_FILES["files"]["name"] not $_FILES["file"]["name"]
in your $path
YOU have error in
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$path="panel/images"."/".$_FILES["files"]["name"];
//This Line Your element name is files not file
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"], $path);
}
According to wat I understood ur problem is with only file upload..So I have briefed the php and html file for you..Comments are there in the code and I have tried to keep things easy. You can get the idea about the code through the comments. Any more queries wud be appreciated.

THis i'd imagine is just a silly mistake somewhere on my part, but this is my first experience in uploading a file using php. thanks very much.
