Echo something from script to html - php

I'm a noob in php and I need some help please.
I have a uploading script that uploads something to my server.
So after I upload the file i get a message your file was upload and I want this message to be posted in my html upload page(main page) and the code is like this:
if(empty($errors)===true){
move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"upload/".$file_name);
echo "Your file was upload!"; <- I want this line to be printed in other page //
}else{
print_r($errors);
}
}
Edit :
And I found an error to my script if you could help me with this two please:
$file_name=$_FILES['file']['name'];
$file_tmp =$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$file_type=$_FILES['file']['type'];
$file_ext=strtolower(end(explode('.',$_FILES['file']['name'])));
$extensions = array("rar","zip","jpeg","jpg","png","gif");
if(in_array($file_ext,$extensions)=== false){
$error[]= "Extension not allowed, please choose a RAR or ZIP file or if you upload an image use JPEG, JPG, PNG or GIF format.</br> Thank you!";
}
This is my code to restrict file upload,but it won't take the restrictions,can any1 tell me why please?
Hope I'm explicit enough.
Thank you !

You can modify your script in the below way.
... if(empty($errors)===true){
move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"upload/".$file_name);
header("Location: otherpage.php?msg=success");
}else{
header("Location: otherpage.php?msg=failure");
print_r($errors);
}
} ...
In otherpage.php,
if(isset($_GET['msg']) && $_GET['msg'] == 'success') {
echo "File uploaded sucessfully";
}
EDIT:
You have written print_r($errors). I am assuming that $errors is an array. In that case you can pass this variable to the url by using json_encode($errors), see below.
$err = json_encode($errors);
$urlEncode = urlencode($err);
//now pass this to the url like this
header("Location: otherpage.php?msg=failure&err=".$urlEncode);
//in otherpage.php, you have to decode it.
if(isset($_GET['err'])) {
$errDecode = urldecode($_GET['err']);
$err = json_decode($errDecode);
print_r($err); //prints the error
}
Extensions:
Your script seems to be correct, can you try it in the below way.
$extensions = array("rar","zip","jpeg","jpg","png","gif");
if(!in_array($file_ext,$extensions)){
$error[]= "your error statement";
}

Place your echo on the page you want it to appear on, not on a separate page. Alternately send your echo string as part of the form submission, but this is probably not appropriate for this case. But then you could set what should be printed on the next page, but set it in advance.

Nested if(isset) is not working as intended

I have a nested if (isset) but it doesn't seem to work as I intended. I also tried if (!empty). Please see the code below.
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
if(isset($_FILES['userFile'])){
//upload file, make tumbnail, then put info to the the tables on the database
//header location
} else if (isset($_POST['comment'])){
//put info to the tables on the database
//header location
} else {
die("you didn't write a comment or upload a file");
}
}
My intention was to let user upload a pic without a comment or let him or her comment without uploading a picture and obviously not letting the user to send an empty form. I searched a bit but I didn't find much info about nested isset or empty.
Am I on the right track? if so; how can I make this one work?
Because when I try the code above without setting a userFile, it still gives me the error from the userFile part and the part is like below:
if($imagesize2 > $max_size2) {
die("your file is bigger than max size");
} else if($safe_imagetype2 =='image/jpeg' || $safe_imagetype2 =='image/png' || $safe_imagetype2 == 'image/jpg' || $safe_imagetype2 == 'image/gif') {
move_uploaded_file($safe_uploadTmp2, "./images/$safe_uploadName2");
} else {
die("it must be gif, jpg or png");
}
any help appreciated.
This is what you're looking for.
if(isset($_FILES['userFile']) && strlen($_FILES['userFile']['inputNAME']) > 1)
You should to check the error during the file upload this way:
if (isset($_FILES['userFile']) && UPLOAD_ERR_OK == $_FILES['userFile']['error']) {
// The file has been uploaded successfully
}

file upload return to upload html page

I'm looking to return to the previous page after a file upload and have "file uploaded successfully" on the upload page.
In upload.php at the top I have placed
sesssion_start();
And at the end of the file upload script I have placed
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = TRUE;
header("Location: stream.php");
Now I know i need to put some code into the html document but unsure what needs to go in. Below is my html form script
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="90000000" />
Select video to upload:
Please choose a file: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
I know it is going to be something similar to this but unsure how or where I would place it.
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['upload_success']) && $_SESSION['upload_success']) {
echo "File uploaded successfully";
}
If someone could walk me through adding the HTML code into the correct place I will be very greatful
After the comments i amend my php code to look like this.
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
sesssion_start();
$target_path = "upload/";
$target = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] );
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'] , $target))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] ). " has been uploaded";
}
else {
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = TRUE;
header("Location: stream.php");
exit();
And the syntax inside the stream.php to:
<?phpsession_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['upload_success']) && $_SESSION['upload_success']) {
echo "File uploaded successfully";
}
?>
Thanks,
Mark
Nota: You also cannot use echo and header together because that would considered as outputting before header, so we'll just use a session array as the message and the header to redirect to "upload_form.php", then show the respective message on that page afterwards.
Use session_destroy() also to destroy any previous sessions.
Sidenote: Use two seperate files.
HTML form: call this "upload_form.php"
<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
?>
<form action="stream.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="90000000" />
Select video to upload:
Please choose a file: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['upload_success'])){
echo $_SESSION['upload_success'];
}
else{
echo "Please select a file.";
}
?>
PHP (file 2): call this "stream.php"
<?php
session_start();
$target_path = "upload/";
$target = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] );
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'] , $target))
{
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = "File successfully uploaded.";
header("Location: upload_form.php");
exit;
}
else {
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
header("Location: upload_form.php");
exit;
}
Edit:
Modify and add the following after if(move_uploaded_file...
if(isset($_FILES['uploadedfile']) && !empty($_FILES['uploadedfile'])){
$target_path = "upload/";
$target = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
}
Your code works fine, but you should remove session['upload_success'] with unset function after you do echo success message.
try
unset( $_SESSION['upload_success'])
in stream.php right after
echo "File uploaded successfully";
update :
if you want to work all these on a single page, You can simply do it like below:
if(isset($_SESSION['upload_success']) and $_SESSION['upload_session'])
{
//echo success message
//remove session
}
if(isset($_POST['file'])){
//upload process , if it was successfull make seesion true...
}
else {
//show form
}
For a quick solution, you could use Ravi Kusuma's jQuery File Upload Plugin or an AJAX solution to do this.
Another alternative, though, to those proposed above is to programmatically construct / output an HTML form with some javascript, and get it to POST a message to stream.php:
CAVEAT: I haven't tried this myself, but I can't think why it wouldn't work. Would someone please confirm my sanity? -- Tested it myself: it works.
<?php
//upload.php
//Do file upload stuff, then:
$out = '
<form id="frmUpOkay" action="stream.php" method="post">
<input name="upMsg" value="Upload Successful" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#frmUpOkay").submit();
});
</script>
';
echo $out;
?>
You must also add this bit to the top of the stream.php file:
<?php
if ( isset($_POST['upMsg']) && isset($_POST['upMsg']) != '' ){
$upMsg = $_POST['upMsg']; //you should sanitize this input
}else{
$upMsg = '';
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
Your normal website content is here.<br>
<br>
Upload message: <?php echo $upMsg; ?> <br>
<br>
</div>
</body>
Notes:
Above code uses jQuery, so you would need the jQuery library included on your upload.php page (as shown above).
Placing
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = TRUE;
header("Location: stream.php");
At the end, I believe, would set true no matter what actually happened with the file's upload the reason being, there is not a condition being checked.
Unless the script has an exit command when it fails, it will eventually get to the part where it says: "Set the upload success as true and then go to stream.php" rather than saying, "If the upload is successful, set the upload success as true and then go to stream.php"
I would try:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
session_start();
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['size'] == 0)//In other words, if no file was selected.
{
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = 4;//File wasn't selected
header("Location: stream.php");
exit();
}
if(!file_exists('upload/' . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])))
{
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'],'upload/' . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])) ? 1 : 2);
}
elseif(file_exists('upload/' . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])))
{
$_SESSION['upload_success'] = 3;
}
header("Location: stream.php");
exit();
?>
Now in stream.php where you have your if statement that displays the message do this instead:
<?php
session_start();
switch (#$_SESSION['upload_success']) {
case 1:
echo "File uploaded successfully";
break;
case 2:
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
break;
case 3:
echo "A file with that name already exists!";
break;
case 4:
echo "You must select a file to upload!";
break;
}
unset($_SESSION['upload_success']);
?>//So if you reload stream.php yet another time no messages will be displayed again for no reason. ie. none of the cases will match an unset variable.
Last, you cannot echo (or do any type of output meant to be viewed by a user) before you header(Location: "somepage.php");
The page will switch before the user can read the output.
The way your code is currently written in your question you could have the following happen:
The server echos "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file", which will never be seen by the user.
$_SESSION['upload_success'] is then set to TRUE, which is obviously not in agreement with #1.
It then sends the user to stream.php where a success message is
displayed.
An alternate, lazier way with less useful scenario descriptions to also fix your problem would be to do this instead (in upload.php):
else
{
die("Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.");
}
Hope that helps!

Why do I get this error when trying to upload an image?

When I go to myserver index and upload and image from there using the interface, it works fine. But as soon as I try to enter the path myself, like:
http://myserver/upload.php?image['name']=F:\Bilder\6.jpg
it gives me an error that all fields are required. But I have to upload images like this, because I plan to implement it in an app that I'm making. Thing is, that I'm not that well acquainted with php.
here is the upload.php
<?php
session_start();
require("includes/conn.php");
function is_valid_type($file)
{
$valid_types = array("image/jpg", "image/jpeg", "image/bmp", "image/gif", "image/png");
if (in_array($file['type'], $valid_types))
return 1;
return 0;
}
function showContents($array)
{
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";
}
$TARGET_PATH = "images/";
$image = $_FILES['image'];
$image['name'] = mysql_real_escape_string($image['name']);
$TARGET_PATH .= $image['name'];
if ( $image['name'] == "" )
{
$_SESSION['error'] = "All fields are required";
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
if (!is_valid_type($image))
{
$_SESSION['error'] = "You must upload a jpeg, gif, or bmp";
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
if (file_exists($TARGET_PATH))
{
$_SESSION['error'] = "A file with that name already exists";
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
if (move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], $TARGET_PATH))
{
$sql = "insert into Avatar (filename) values ('" . $image['name'] . "')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not insert data into DB: " . mysql_error());
exit;
}
else
{
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
?>
and the index.php
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['error']))
{
echo "<span id=\"error\"><p>" . $_SESSION['error'] . "</p></span>";
unset($_SESSION['error']);
}
?>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>
<label>Avatar</label>
<input type="file" name="image" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Upload" />
</p>
the problem lies in
if ( $image['name'] == "" )
$image has no value there.
You are doing a get request so if you would like to know what the image variable is you should use
$_GET['image']
Another thing is that you are doing $image = $_FILES['image'];
$_FILES will only be available from a post request.
Uploading files can not be done in the way you are doing now by a parameter from a GET request.
If you need to POST stuff to a web form (as opposed to GETting, which is what you're doing here), you can't just specify the data to be POSTed as part of the URL.
Have a look at those HTTP methods (GET and POST) to understand the difference.
In your app, what you need to do is POST stuff to the URL. Depending on which tools you use to program, you should look into how to send data via POST.
Also, try to see if an implementation of curl (or libcurl) is available to your development platform.
That simply wont work since you cannot upload an image by sending $_GET[] variables through the url.
As you can see in the upload.php page you got, the file is retrieved in the php page through a $_FILES['image'].
If you change that to $_GET['image'] and retry to post the link with the get variable you suggest, you probably will be able to see the path to your file but it will only be as a string type and not an actual uploaded file object.

How to check if image was submitted with other form data

I have an user registration form and uploading image with other form elements is optional there. So sometimes users may not upload image along with other data.
Now the problem is even though the user has not uploaded image, the following code always echos that the file was uploaded
Could you please kindly tell me how to check if the image was submitted by the user and make it echo/display "not uploaded" if not uploaded ?
Thanks in Advance :)
In my Controller File
extract($_POST); // <<This is to retrieve all form data at once
if(isset($_FILES['userfile'])){
echo"file uploaded";
} else{
echo "Not Uploaded";
}
This is in my View File
<input type="file" class="" name="userfile" size="20" />
Per PHP documentation:
If no file is selected for upload in your form, PHP will return $_FILES['userfile']['size'] as 0, and $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] as none.
source: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php
So your conditional can change to:
if(isset($_FILES['userfile']) && $_FILES['userfile']['size'] > 0){
echo"file uploaded";
} else echo "Not Uploaded" ;
You can combine both checks:
if (count($_POST) and !empty($_FILES['userfile'])) {
// uploaded
}
else {
// either is missing
}
Note that you should not use extract($_POST);. You can't control which local variables get overwritten from the outside with that. (If nothing else investigate EXTR_PREFIX.)

User uploading images to specific directories

So basically I have a site in which certain members are allowed to upload images (comic pages) to their own image galleries (to a specific comic). I have a successful image uploading script that I used to upload profile/avatar images for each member, but now that I want to upload files to a more specific place I'm having a little trouble.
Here's what I have so far:
(This is what appears at the top of the page)
<?php
session_start();
$toplinks = "";
if (isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
// Put stored session variables into local php variable
$userid = $_SESSION['id'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$toplinks = '' . $username . ' •
Account •
Log Out';
} else {
$toplinks = 'Register • Login';
}
?>
(This is the uploading script)
<?php
// Here we run a login check
if (!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
echo 'Please log in to access your account';
exit();
}
// Place Session variable 'id' into local variable
$id = $_SESSION['id'];
// Process the form if it is submitted
if ($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'] != "") {
// Run error handling on the file
// Set Max file size limit to somewhere around 120kb
$maxfilesize = 400000;
// Check file size, if too large exit and tell them why
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['size'] > $maxfilesize ) {
echo "<br /><br />Your image was too large. Must be 400kb or less, please<br /><br />
click here to try again";
unlink($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
// Check file extension to see if it is .jpg or .gif, if not exit and tell them why
} else if (!preg_match("/\.(gif|jpg|png)$/i", $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] ) ) {
echo "<br /><br />Your image was not .gif, .jpg, or .png and it must be one of those three formats.<br />
click here to try again";
unlink($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
// If no errors on the file process it and upload to server
} else {
// Rename the pic
$newname = ""; //numbers only, so they show up sequentially
// Set the direntory for where to upload it, use the member id to hit their folder
// Upload the file
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], "comics/$comicid/".$newname)) {
echo "Success, the image has been uploaded and will display to visitors!<br /><br />
Click here to return to your profile edit area";
exit();
} else {
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again. If it continually fails, contact us by email. <br /><br />
Click here to return to your profile edit area";
exit();
}
} // close else after file error checks
} // close if post the form
?>
Ideally, I would like to be able to upload an image like this: comics/comic_id/chapter_id/uploaded_file.extension
With the user profile image uploader, I was able to grab the $ID from the $_Session['id'] variable, but with the comics, I don't really know how to grab that information and use it to set the comic_id directory (chapter_id will be selected on the form so I'm not too worried about that one).
Any thoughts?
You can upload a file to wherever you choose. This will save the comic in a folder of its id and chapter, but retaining the filename. If you wanted to use the comic id as the filename I am sure you can work that out.
$basepath = "/home/path/to/www/comics/member_" . $member_id . "/";
function construct_path($chapter_id,$comic_id)
{
$saveimagepath = $basepath . $comic_id . $chapter
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
echo 'Please log in to access your account';
exit();
}
// Place Session variable 'id' into local variable
$id = $_SESSION['id'];
// Process the form if it is submitted
if ($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'] != "") {
// Run error handling on the file
// Set Max file size limit to somewhere around 120kb
$maxfilesize = 400000;
// Check file size, if too large exit and tell them why
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['size'] > $maxfilesize ) {
echo "<br /><br />Your image was too large. Must be 400kb or less, please<br /><br />
click here to try again";
unlink($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
// Check file extension to see if it is .jpg or .gif, if not exit and tell them why
} else if (!preg_match("/\.(gif|jpg|png)$/i", $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] ) ) {
echo "<br /><br />Your image was not .gif, .jpg, or .png and it must be one of those three formats.<br />
click here to try again";
unlink($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']);
exit();
// If no errors on the file process it and upload to server
} else {
// Rename the pic
$newname = $saveimagepath . $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];
//numbers only, so they show up sequentially
// Set the direntory for where to upload it, use the member id to hit their folder
// Upload the file
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $newname)) {
echo "Success, the image has been uploaded and will display to visitors!<br /><br />
Click here to return to your profile edit area";
exit();
} else {
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again. If it continually fails, contact us by email. <br /><br />
Click here to return to your profile edit area";
exit();
}
} // close else after file error checks
} // close if post the form
?>
The $_SESSION variable is available at any site you started with session_start(). So if the id is set right after the login, you can access this value at any other page in the same way with $_SESSION['id']. Make sure that the value of id won't kill your filesystem or leads to security issues!
