I have 100 files and I am scanning them and picking the correct file out of them.
I am using the following code:
$dir = 'myDir';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
$scanned_directory = array_diff($files1, array('..', '.'));
foreach ($scanned_directory as $key => $value) {
$onlyname=explode(".", $value);
if($onlyname[0]== $name){
// echo "file found";
break;
}else{
//echo "<h2>Not Found. Please Try Later</h2>";
}
}
The problem with this is that if the file is the 10th file I get 9x not found, before I get the file found message.
What is the proper way to display error message if no file is found?
I simplified your code a bit.
First of all I get all files from your directory into an array with glob(). Then I simply grab all files which have the name $name with preg_grep() and check with count() if there is at least 1 file with that specific name.
<?php
$dir = "myDir";
$files = glob($dir . "/*.*");
if(count(preg_grep("/^$name\..*$/", array_map("basename", $files))) > 0)
echo "file found";
else
echo "<h2>Not Found. Please Try Later</h2>";
?>

I need to check whether a folder contains csv files or not. Using PHP
I need to show an error message if someone try to upload any csv into a specific folder if there is already existing a csv.
Use glob() to find all files matching a wildcard. It returns an array of the matches, so you can check if the array is empty.
$files = glob("$dirname/*.csv");
if (!empty($files)) {
die("Error: The directory already has a .csv file");
}
<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "Die Datei $filename existiert";
} else {
echo "Die Datei $filename existiert nicht";
}
?>
From: http://php.net/manual/de/function.file-exists.php
Loop over the files of directory to check whether it contains csv or not.
$files=scandir("/path/to/dir");
foreach($files as $fileName)
{
if(preg_match("/\.csv$/", $fileName))
{
throw new Exception("/path/to/dir contains csv file with filename: $fileName");
}
}
$dir = 'folder';
echo (count(glob("$dir/*.csv")) === 0) ? 'Empty' : 'Not empty';
You can use glob() function. http://php.net/manual/tr/function.glob.php
Also #Barmar answer is look like doing job well.
<?php
$directory = new DirectoryIterator(__DIR__);
if ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
$fileExt = $fileinfo->getExtension();
if($fileExt=="csv")
{
echo "File found";
}
else
{
echo "File not found";
}
}
?>

I can see this question has been asked a million times before. I have been through many of the responses and can't seem to get it right:-
I am simply trying to upload multiple files. I'm certain that the form is correct. The issue I get is that if I use a foreach loop, PHP cycles through 5 times (I guess once for each key in $_FILES).
I have read that you should count the uploaded files in the $_FILE['file_upload'] array, then use a for loop, and include an index on the end, such as:-
$_FILES['file_upload']['name'][$1]
however, when I try to access those values I only get the first letter of the value (I think I understand why this is).
The only thing I can think is to use
for($i ; $i<$size ; $i++){...}
and then nest a foreach loop inside it, however, this seems inefficient and I've seen no other suggestions to this end.
I would therefore be eternally grateful if someone could set me straight once and for all. My code is here:-
foreach ($_FILES['file_upload'] as $key => $value){
$tmp_file = $_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'];
$target_file = basename($_FILES['file_upload']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_file,$upload_location."/".$target_file)){
$message = "File uploaded successfully";
} else {
$error = $_FILES['file_upload']['error']; // get the error
$_SESSION['errors'][] = $error_msg[$error];// return the error that matches
}// end if
} // end for
So just to clarify - The above code works and uploads the image, but where the loop cycles through 5 times (I'm assuming once per $_FILES attribute), I am getting 5 error messages.I hope this makes sense.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers

The following was taken from: PHP Manual
<?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
}
?>
Which in turn you should be able to modify to something like this:
<?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
foreach ($_FILES["file_upload"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["file_upload"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["file_upload"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
}
?>
change your foreach to this
foreach ($_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'] as $key => $value){
$tmp_file = $_FILES['file_upload']['tmp_name'][$key];
$target_file = basename($_FILES['file_upload']['name'][$key]);
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_file,$upload_location."/".$target_file)){
$message = "File uploaded successfully";
} else {
$error = $_FILES['file_upload']['error'][$key]; // get the error
$_SESSION['errors'][] = $error_msg[$error];// return the error that matches
}// end if
} // end for
I dont think I understand you completely. If you are uploading multiple files, you should use foreach (no counter required).
The only counter you should use is to count the numbers of files that were successfuly uploaded.
Try this:
$success = 0;
foreach ($_FILES['files']['name'] as $file => $name){
$tmp_file = $_FILES["files"]["tmp_name"][$file];
$target_file = $name;
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_file,$upload_location."/".$target_file)){
$message = "File uploaded successfully";
$success++;
} else {
$error = $_FILES['file_upload']['error']; // get the error
$_SESSION['errors'][] = $error_msg[$error];// return the error that matches
}// end if
} // end for
echo $success.' files were uploaded';
I am trying to upload multiple images into the folder using php . The code can print out the file names which means I get the files but now it does not upload them and I get no error : below is my code
<?php
$target = "image_uploads/";
if(isset($_FILES['FILE_NAME'])){
foreach($_FILES['FILE_NAME']['tmp_name']as $key => $error ){
print_r($key);
$file_upload = $key.$_FILES['FILE_NAME']['name'][$key];
#print image names
echo $file_upload.'</br>';
move_uploaded_file($file_upload,$target);
}
}
?>
In target you have to give the file name too. Please use the code below,
$target = "image_uploads/";
if(isset($_FILES['FILE_NAME'])){
foreach($_FILES['FILE_NAME']['tmp_name'] as $key => $error ){
print_r($key);
$file_upload = $key.$_FILES['FILE_NAME']['name'][$key];
print image names
echo $file_upload.'</br>';
move_uploaded_file($file_upload,$target.$_FILES['FILE_NAME']['name']);
}
}
I think the problem is in the foreach loop.
foreach ($_FILES['FILE_NAME']['tmp_name'] as $key => $val) {
// this loops through the tmp_name of $_FILES['FILE_NAME']
// which is a string
}
I think you meant something like:
foreach ($_FILES as $index => $fileArray) {
$tmpName = $fileArray['tmp_name'];
echo "File at key $index is temporarily uploaded at $tmpName";
}
The code above will loop through all uploaded files and print it's current filename.
It might happen that your target folder is not writable.
I also think, that the cause of which you're not getting errors is, that you have the following:
print_r($key);
Yous should have:
print_r($error);
There can be multiple reasons for this :
The target folder must exist before trying to move the file from temp location to the target and must also be writable
the move_uploaded_file takes the second argument as the file name followed by the directory name, so it can be something like : target folder/user.file.name.ext
If you are uploading multiple files, then the $_FILES must be accessed as shown in the link : http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php
for the php error messages that you may encounter, here is a list : http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
Please note that I want the compartment number to change.
<?php
$compartment = "1";
/* HERE I NEED SOME SCRIPT TO FIND THE EXTENSION OF THE FILE NAME $compartment AND TO SAVE THAT AS A VARIABLE NAMED 'EXTENSION'.*/
if (file_exists($compartment.$extension)) {
echo "$compartment.$extension exists!
} else {
echo "No file name exists that is called $compartment. Regardless of extension."
}
?>
<?php
$compartment = "2";
/* HERE I NEED SOME SCRIPT TO FIND THE EXTENSION OF THE FILE NAME $compartment AND TO SAVE THAT AS A VARIABLE NAMED 'EXTENSION'.*/
if (file_exists($$compartment.$extension)) {
echo "$compartment.$extension exists!
} else {
echo "No file name exists that is called $compartment. Regardless of extension."
}
?>
Thank You!
You need glob().
$compartment = "2";
$files = glob("/path/to/files/$compartment.*"); // Will find 2.txt, 2.php, 2.gif
// Process through each file in the list
// and output its extension
if (count($files) > 0)
foreach ($files as $file)
{
$info = pathinfo($file);
echo "File found: extension ".$info["extension"]."<br>";
}
else
echo "No file name exists called $compartment. Regardless of extension."
by the way, what you are doing above is crying for a loop. Don' repeat your code blocks, but wrap one of them into this:
$compartments = array(1, 3, 6, 9); // or whichever compartments
// you wish to run through
foreach ($compartments as $compartment)
{
..... insert code here .......
}
Look up:
glob — Find pathnames matching a pattern
fnmatch — Match filename against a pattern
pathinfo — Returns information about a file path

Here's my folder structure:
www/myFolder/
www/myFolder/testFolder/
www/myFolder/testFile.txt
Using scandir() against the "myFolder" folder I get the following results:
.
..
testFolder
testFile.txt
I'm trying to filter out the folders from the results and only return files:
$scan = scandir('myFolder');
foreach($scan as $file)
{
if (!is_dir($file))
{
echo $file.'\n';
}
}
The expected results are:
testFile.txt
However I'm actually seeing:
testFile.txt
testFolder
Can anyone tell me what's going wrong here please?
You need to change directory or append it to your test. is_dir returns false when the file doesn't exist.
$scan = scandir('myFolder');
foreach($scan as $file)
{
if (!is_dir("myFolder/$file"))
{
echo $file.'\n';
}
}
That should do the right thing
Doesn't is_dir() take a file as a parameter?
$scan = scandir('myFolder');
foreach($scan as $file)
{
if (!is_dir($file))
{
echo $file.'\n';
}
}
Already told you the answer here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52471
If you were displaying errors, you'd see why this isn't working:
Warning: Wrong parameter count for is_dir() in testFile.php on line 16
Now try passing $file to is_dir()
$scan = scandir('myFolder');
foreach($scan as $file)
{
if (!is_dir($file))
{
echo $file.'\n';
}
}
If anyone who comes here is interested in saving the output to an array, here's a fast way of doing that (modified to be more efficient):
$dirPath = 'dashboard';
$dir = scandir($dirPath);
foreach($dir as $index => &$item)
{
if(is_dir($dirPath. '/' . $item))
{
unset($dir[$index]);
}
}
$dir = array_values($dir);
