I have this PHP script and was wondering if somebody could help me with one question.
Lets say I upload a file named "me.jpg", What will the file be renamed to after it is uploaded?
if($_FILES['q35']['tmp_name']){
$file_ext=eregi_replace("^(.*)\.(.*)$","\\2",$_FILES['q35']['name']);
$file_ext_35 = strtolower($file_ext);
if(in_array($file_ext, $whitelist)) {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['q35']['tmp_name'], $url[server].'/images/'.$image_folder.'/selfie.'.$file_ext_35);
}
First you should replace eregi_replace by preg_replace. eregi_replace seems to deprecated. As for your question, let's assume your code would work, your picture's name would still be 'me.jpg'

I am trying to use move_uploaded_file but I think everything is fine but my code is not working. Everything is working as expected even image name is being inserted into DB but it is not moving into uploads folder. Folder is there and apache2 does have access to write it.
I don't have enough reputation to post more then 8 lines so everything is on pastebin Here. The main aprt is...
$post_image_new_name = uniqid('', true). "."
.$post_image_actual_ext;
$post_image_destination = '../../uploads/';
if (is_dir($post_image_destination) && is_writable($post_image_destination)) {
$post_image_destination = '../../uploads/'.$post_image_new_name;
var_dump($post_image_destination);
move_uploaded_file($post_image_new_name, $post_image_destination);
echo "Inside move_uploaded_file section";
https://pastebin.com/Z321R76z
Try this code
line 53: move_uploaded_file($_FILES['addPost_post_image']['tmp_name'], $post_image_destination);
The first param should be the file source name.
move_uploaded_file() expects the source filename of the uploaded file. So you must use something like this:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['addPost_post_image']['tmp_name'], $post_image_destination);
I am beginner to php and learning my ways around it. I know functions but nothing working out for me, making too many mistakes. If someone please help. Below is the part of the code of Image uploading function, I need to add function so that it renames the file by replacing spaces with hyphen (-) [after / while uploading of image file)
if(isset($input['pic'])){
if(isset($input['img_url']) && $input['img_url'] != ''){
input['pic_url'] = ImageHandler::uploadImage($input['img_url'], 'images', Helper::slugify($input['title']), 'url');
} else if(isset($input['pic_url'])){
$input['pic_url'] = ImageHandler::uploadImage(Input::file('pic_url'), 'images');
$input['pic'] = 1;
}
Thanks

First of all use:
if (!empty($input['img_url'])) { ... }
instead of..
if (isset($input['img_url']) && $input['img_url'] != '') { ... }
As second please make sure before posting a question, if you posted all information what is necessary to answer your question. For example, in your code you're using ImageHandler::uploadImage() it's not clear what this class it's function does. Altho I can guess what the parameters are. Something like..?
ImageHandler::uploadImage($file, $folder, $name, $type);
Anyway I'm not sure, but if I'm right than try to modify the thrid parameter $name to your needs.
Not bad to mention, but this happens after the file has been uploaded to the temporary directory on the server after completion it will be moved to the selected directory with the choosen filename.
echo str_replace(" ", "-", end(explode("/", $image_path)));
I'm trying to upload some photos and handle this with the build in Laravel functions. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this properly. I have been able to actually upload something, but I've run into a few problems. This is the code I have right now:
If looked at the documentation, and found this function: $file = Input::file('photo'); I've used this function, and what the content of $file becomes is an instance of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile, which, as the documentation tells us, "extends the PHP SplFileInfo class and provides a variety of methods for interacting with the file." http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/requests#files
Then I used this function Input::file('photo')->move($destinationPath); which should but the file in the desired folder on the server. And it did. But now comes the problem. Now all uploaded files have a filename like phpgoJnLc, and without an extension.
I've looked at the functions available from SplFileInfo and tried getExtension which give me an empty string and getFilename which also gives me something like phpgoJnLc.
Then I looked around on the internet and found a few part of code from Laravel 3, where they did something like this:
$filename = Str::random(20) .'.'. File::extension(Input::file('photo.name'));
But the result of this is give me only the result from Str::random(20) followed by a dot. Again, no file extension.
So, what am I doing wrong? How to upload a file with Laravel 4?
Looking in that same class file I see a getClientOriginalName() function...
$file = Input::file('photo');
$file->move($destinationPath,$file->getClientOriginalName());
... which ais ssuming you want to keep the original name your client sets... which could be hazardous, do some safety checks on it would be my advice. Getting the extensionname only is done with ->getClientOriginalExtension(), so you could also only save that part & add a random string before that in the second argument of the move() function.
This worked for me, especially when you want to change the name of the uploaded image:
$filename = 'New_Name'.'.'.Input::file('photo')->getClientOriginalExtension();
You can also generate a name for the file with the original file extension like so:
$filename = Str::random(20) . '.' . Input::file('image')->guessExtension();
if you try to use the following in Laravel 4:
$filename = Str::random(20) .'.'. File::extension(Input::file('photo.name'));
you will get this error:
'Call to undefined method Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem::guessExtension()'
I have searched far and wide on this one, but haven't really found a solution.
Got a client that wants music on their site (yea yea, I know..). The flash player grabs the single file called song.mp3 and plays it.
Well, I am trying to get functionality as to be able to have the client upload their own new song if they ever want to change it.
So basically, the script needs to allow them to upload the file, THEN overwrite the old file with the new one. Basically, making sure the filename of song.mp3 stays intact.
I am thinking I will need to use PHP to
1) upload the file
2) delete the original song.mp3
3) rename the new file upload to song.mp3
Does that seem right? Or is there a simpler way of doing this? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I impimented UPLOADIFY and am able to use
'onAllComplete' : function(event,data) {
alert(data.filesUploaded + ' files uploaded successfully!');
}
I am just not sure how to point THAT to a PHP file....
'onAllComplete' : function() {
'aphpfile.php'
}
???? lol
a standard form will suffice for the upload just remember to include the mime in the form. then you can use $_FILES[''] to reference the file.
then you can check for the filename provided and see if it exists in the file system using file_exists() check for the file name OR if you don't need to keep the old file, you can use perform the file move and overwrite the old one with the new from the temporary directory
<?PHP
// this assumes that the upload form calls the form file field "myupload"
$name = $_FILES['myupload']['name'];
$type = $_FILES['myupload']['type'];
$size = $_FILES['myupload']['size'];
$tmp = $_FILES['myupload']['tmp_name'];
$error = $_FILES['myupload']['error'];
$savepath = '/yourserverpath/';
$filelocation = $svaepath.$name.".".$type;
// This won't upload if there was an error or if the file exists, hence the check
if (!file_exists($filelocation) && $error == 0) {
// echo "The file $filename exists";
// This will overwrite even if the file exists
move_uploaded_file($tmp, $filelocation);
}
// OR just leave out the "file_exists()" and check for the error,
// an if statement either way
?>
try this piece of code for upload and replace file
if(file_exists($newfilename)){
unlink($newfilename);
}
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $newfilename);
how can I copy two times the same file? I'm trying to do something like this:
copy($file['tmp_name'], $folder."1.jpg");
copy($file['tmp_name'], $folder."2.jpg");
copy($file['tmp_name'], $folder."3.jpg");
And how many time does temp files has before it's destroyed by the server?
I try using move_uploaded_file also, but I can't make it work. I want to generate 2 thumbs from an uploaded file.
Some help?
Thanks,
move_uploaded_file will move the file, and not copy it -- which means it'll work only once.
If you are using copy, there shouldn't be any limit at all on the number of times you can copy : the temporay file created by the upload will only be destroyed at the end of the execution of your script (unless you move/delete it before, of course)
Still, maybe a solution would be to use move_uploaded_file first, and, then, copy ?
A bit like that, I suppose :
if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $folder . '1.jpg')) {
copy($folder . '1.jpg', $folder . '2.jpg');
copy($folder . '1.jpg', $folder . '3.jpg');
}
This would allow you to get the checks provided by move_uploaded_file...
If this doesn't work, then, make sure that :
$folder contains what you want -- including the final /
That $file['tmp_name'] also contains what you want (I'm guessing this is some kind of copy of $_FILES -- make sure the copy of $_FILES to $file is done properly)
Why doesn't move_uploaded_file() work? Are you trying to use it twice? You can't do that, it moves it, so the second time will fail.
I would just use move_uploaded_file() once, and then make the second copy from the location you just moved it to:
move_uploaded_file($uploaded, $destination);
copy($destination, $destination2);
I don't have a reply to your question directly but how about this workaround ?
copy($file['tmp_name'], $folder."1.jpg");
copy($folder."1.jpg" , $folder."2.jpg");
copy($folder."1.jpg" , $folder."3.jpg");
Thanks man, you give me the light.
I made something like this:
$objUpload = new Upload();
$filename = $objUpload->uploadFile($newFile,$folder);
// returns a string
$objUpload->makeThumb($filename,$folder,"thumbs",139);
// makes a 139px thumbnail from the original file uploaded on the first step
$objUpload->makeThumb($filename,$folder,"mini",75);
// makes another thumb from the same file
Using move_ulploaded_file and copy we can make only one thumb. :)
