Joomla Development - Failed to move file - php

I'm having a strange issue with a component I'm working on. The component has a form that includes a file upload. The code checks for duplicate filenames and appends a counter to the end. All of this works perfectly except with I try and modify the record and change the associated file.
I used component creator to build the skeleton at that code works for updates -
//Replace any special characters in the filename
$filename = explode('.', $file['name']);
$filename[0] = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $filename[0]);
//Add Timestamp MD5 to avoid overwriting
$filename = md5(time()) . '-' . implode('.',$filename);
$uploadPath = '/var/www/plm_anz/' . $filename;
$fileTemp = $file['tmp_name'];
if(!JFile::exists($uploadPath)){
if (!JFile::upload($fileTemp, $uploadPath)){
JError::raiseWarning(500, 'Error moving file');
return false;
}
}
$array['ping_location'] = $filename;
When I update the code to remove the MD5 sum and append the counter it all falls apart..
//Replace any special characters in the filename
$filename = explode('.', $file['name']);
$filename[0] = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $filename[0]);
$originalFile = $finalFile = $file['name'];
$fileCounter = 1;
//Rename duplicate files
$fileprefix = pathinfo($originalFile, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$extension = pathinfo($originalFile, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
while (file_exists( '/var/www/plm_anz/'.$finalFile )){
$finalFile = $fileprefix . '_' . $fileCounter++ . '.' . $extension;
}
$uploadPath = '/var/www/plm_anz/' . $finalFile;
$fileTemp = $file['tmp_name'];
if (!JFile::upload($fileTemp, $uploadPath)){
$fileMessage = "Error moving file - temp file:". $fileTemp . " Upload path ". $uploadPath;
JError::raiseWarning(500, $fileMessage);
return false;
}
I've narrowed down the cause to the filename that the while loop creates but cannot figure out why it only breaks the form update and not the new form submission.
The error I get in Joomla (3.4) is:
Error
Error moving file - temp file:/tmp/phpgwag5r Upload path
/var/www/plm_anz/com_hotcase_6.zip
Save failed with the following error:
I know it's something simple but I've been staring at it too long to see it!
Thanks!

Ok as it is I can not see any good reason why is failing.
The only thing I can suggest you is that JFile::upload is failing go to debug in /libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php#449 and step by step try to understand what's wrong.
That's actually the file and line of JFile::upload.
In there probably the only line that matter to you is line 502 which is :
if (is_writeable($baseDir) && move_uploaded_file($src, $dest))
Especially try to see what's going on the variable $ret.

rename file while uploading with php

I have a php script which uploads files:
for($index = 0;$index < count($_FILES['files']['name']); $index++){
// File name
$filename = $_FILES['files']['name'][$index];
// File path
$path = '../pdf/'.$filename;
// Upload file
if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$index],$path)){
// ERROR
exit;
}
This works fine!
But I would like to modify the filename while uploading:
For example:
I uploading a "upload.pdf" file.
But I would like to get the name "upload_2021.pdf"
How can I realize it?
I found a solution !!
$path = '../pdf/'.$filename;
$extension = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$name = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
From what I can see, the only thing you need to do is change the $path variable.
Bare in mind, that what you are showing here is not a safe and secure upload script. You are not doing any file and mime-type validation what so ever. There is nothing preventing your users from uploading harmful files. Together with not checking for duplicate files and some other edge cases, think twice before putting this into production.
for($index = 0;$index < count($_FILES['files']['name']); $index++){
// File name
$filename = $_FILES['files']['name'][$index];
$parts = explode(".", $filename);
$year = date("Y");
// File path
$path = '../pdf/'.$parts[0] . '_' $year . '.' . $parts[count($parts)-1];
// Upload file
if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][$index],$path)){
// ERROR
exit;
}
}
a short example:
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$newfilename = round(microtime(true)) . '.' . end($temp);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "../img/imageDirectory/" . $newfilename);

Create random filename but check it's not already used

I am trying to upload image files to a server and creating a random name when doing so. The issue I am having is that sometimes (far too often) it creates the same file name but for files with a different extension.
My code for the upload is below, what I want to do is add a check to make sure the name is not in use but with a different extension.
Example -
da4fb5c6e93e74d3df8527599fa62642.jpg & da4fb5c6e93e74d3df8527599fa62642.JPG
if ($_FILES['file']['name']) {if (!$_FILES['file']['error']){
$name = md5(mt_rand(100, 200));
$ext = explode('.', $_FILES['file']['name']);
$filename = $name . '.' . $ext[1];
$destination = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/infopages/' . $filename; //change this directory
$location = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
move_uploaded_file($location, $destination);
echo '/images/infopages/' . $filename;
}else{
echo $message = 'Ooops! Your upload triggered the following error: '.$_FILES['file']['error'];
}
}
Any help is appreciated.
You can use PHP uniqid & rand functions combinedly. In this way you will never get duplicate values.
$filename = uniqid (rand(1000000,9999999), true) '.' . $ext[1];

Laravel and Intervention Image getSize() error

I'm trying to integrate Intervention/Image into my laravel project to create a thumbnail upon uploading an image.
The image upload itself works fine, it doesn't seem to have any issue recognizing Intervention itself.
Below is the code block. The error seems to happen on the line with the save statement, I'm able to die and dump the contents of $img after it's set.
$file = $request->file('image');
$name = md5($file->getClientOriginalName() . time());
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileName = $name . '.' . $extension;
$file->move('./uploads/images/', $fileName);
$img = Image::make($file)->fit(300);
$img->save('/uploads/thumbnails/' . $name, 60, 'jpg');
This is the error I'm getting:
SplFileInfo::getSize(): stat failed for /private/var/folders/87/p5x7mgy914qg9ytf2zccc6q00000gn/T/php3lshFS
After some searching I've found that this could be related to file size upload limits, but I've altered my php.ini file (all of this is local btw) to accept 20MB files and the file I'm trying to upload is less than 100kb. I've also reset both php through homebrew and apache. Still getting the error.
Is there any glaringly obvious issues in my use of Intervention? I'll happily provide more info, this is in the store function in one of my controllers btw.
Untested, but I do it like this:
public function thumbnail(Request $request){
$thumbDir= storage_path('app/public').'/uploads/thumbnails/';
$file = $request->file('image');
$filename = md5($file->getClientOriginalName() . time()).'.jpg';
// $name = md5($file->getClientOriginalName() . time());
// $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
// $fileName = $name . '.' . $extension;
// $file->move('./uploads/images/', $fileName);
Image::make($file)->encode('jpg', 60)->fit(300, null, function ($c) {
$c->aspectRatio();
$c->upsize();
})->save($thumbDir . $filename);
return back()->with('success','The Image Has Been Added.');
}

Adding random number to uploaded file in PHP

I have my upload php code where my intent is , obtained file from $_files,
add a random number between 0 and 9999 to the name of image like this:
image sent : image.jpg
before saving : image321.jpg
the image is saved in my upload folder but the filename are like
"php2983204tmp"
if ($file !== null) {
$rand = rand(0000,9999);
$path = "some_path";
$file_name = $file->getClientOriginalName(); // file
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // jpg
$file->move($path, $file_name.$rand.$extension);
$response = "File loaded successfully: " . $file_name.$extension;
$response .= '<br>size: ' . filesize($path . '/' . $file->getClientOriginalName()) / 1024 . ' kb';
return new Response($response);
any ideas to fix?
The filename in your example is php and your extension is tmp. None of them have the . that you are missing.
You need to add the dot . as a string after the $file_name and $rand, before the $extension like this:
$file->move($path, $file_name.$rand. "." .$extension);
TIME is always unique identity, use it as below (maybe helpful):
if ($file !== null) {
$rand = rand(0000,9999).time();
$path = "some_path";
$file_name = $file->getClientOriginalName(); // file
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // jpg
$file->move($path, $file_name.$rand.$extension);
$response = "File loaded successfully: " . $file_name.$extension;
$response .= '<br>size: ' . filesize($path . '/' . $file->getClientOriginalName()) / 1024 . ' kb';
return new Response($response);
You need add in the desired chars to the actual string.
$file->move($path, $file_name.$rand.".".$extension);
But I have to say, I am against how you've done this, you don't even check if the "newly" created string already exists in the directory. Its better to hash the time of upload with the original filename, rename the file to the new hash and use a database to point to the file as this way the filename collisions don't occur.
$fn = md5(microtime(true) . $extension . $file_name);
$file->move($path, $fn);

file rename while uploading

I have a problem here im trying to upload a file
first time it is moving the filename from temp it its respective directory,
but again i try ot upload the aa different file with the same name it should rename the
first time uploaded file
with date_somefilename.csv and give the filename to its original state
for example a file test.csv ,im uploading it for first time it will upload to
corresponding directory as
test.csv,when i upload a different csv file with same name test.csv
I need to get the
test.csv (latest uploaded file)
06222012130209_test.csv(First time uploaded file)
The code is below
$place_file = "$path/$upload_to/$file_name";
if (!file_exists('uploads/'.$upload_to.'/'.$file_name))
{
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $place_file);
}else{
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $place_file);
$arr1 = explode('.csv',$file_name);
$todays_date = date("mdYHis");
$new_filename = $todays_date.'_'.$arr1[0].'.csv';
echo $str_cmd = "mv " . 'uploads/'.$upload_to.'/'.$file_name . " uploads/$upload_to/$new_filename";
system($str_cmd, $retval);
}
See comments in code.
$place_file = "$path/$upload_to/$file_name";
if (!file_exists($place_file)) {
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $place_file);
} else {
// first rename
$pathinfo = pathinfo($place_file);
$todays_date = date("mdYHis");
$new_filename = $pathinfo['dirname'].DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$todays_date.'_'.$pathinfo['basename'];
rename($place_file, $new_filename)
// and then move, not vice versa
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $place_file);
}
DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is php constant. Value is '/' or '\', depending of operation system.
pathinfo() is php function, that return information about path: dirname, basename, extension, filename.
What about...
$place_file = "$path/$upload_to/$file_name";
if (file_exists($place_file)) {
$place_file = date("mdYHis")."_".$file_name;
}
if (!move_uploaded_file($tmp, $place_file)) {
echo "Could not move file";
exit;
}
I would not add a date to the file if it already exists. Instead I would just add a number to the end of it. Keep it simple.
$counter = 0;
do {
// destination path path
$destination = $path.'/'.$upload_to.'/';
// get extension
$file_ext = end(explode('.', $file_name));
// add file_name without extension
if (strlen($file_ext))
$destination .= substr($file_name, 0, strlen($file_name)-strlen($file_ext)-1);
// add counter
if ($counter)
$destination .= '_'.$counter;
// add extension
if (strlen($file_ext))
$destination .= $file_ext;
$counter++;
while (file_exists($destination));
// move file
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $destination);
$target = "uploads/$upload_to/$file_name";
if (file_exists($target)) {
$pathinfo = pathinfo($target);
$newName = "$pathinfo[dirname]/" . date('mdYHis') . "_$pathinfo[filename].$pathinfo[extension]";
rename($target, $newName);
}
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $target);
Beware though: Security threats with uploads.
how about something like this?
<?php
$tmp = '/tmp/foo'; // whatever you got out of $_FILES
$desitnation = '/tmp/bar.xyz'; // wherever you want that file to be saved
if (file_exists($desitnation)) {
$file = basename($destination)
$dot = strrpos($file, '.');
// rename existing file to contain its creation time
// "/temp/bar.xyz" -> "/temp/bar.2012-12-12-12-12-12.xyz"
$_destination = dirname($destination) . '/'
. substr($file, 0, $dot + 1)
. date('Y-m-d-H-i-s', filectime($destination))
. substr($file, $dot);
rename($destination, $_destination);
}
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $destination);
