I am using uploadifive to upload images - however I want to change the name of the images to "newimage" I am not sure where or how to do this with what is provided - this is the last modification I need to deploy.
You're going to need to do the name change in the PHP script that handles the uploading (I'm assuming your using PHP since that's uplidfy's standard). It can be a bit tricky because you have to separate the incoming file name from it's extension. This should be enough to get you started.
$theFile = $_FILES['file_upl']['name'];
$tempFile = $_FILES['file_upl']['tmp_name'];
$newName = "newname";
$saveDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/images/";
//Function returns the extension from the '.' on
function get_ext($from_file) {
$ext = strtolower(strrchr($from_file,'.'));
return $ext;
}
//This will rename the file to $newname + the extension
$theFile = $newname.get_ext($theFile);
//Save the file
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$saveDir.$theFile);
$file = 'uploaded_img.jpg';
$remote_file = 'Saved.txt';
ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)
just change the name of the remote file

i am using one file upload form field,from that field i want to encode the filename,don't to want to move the any temporary folder,directly i want to insert the database,while display the image directly fetch DB and display the website,I want encode like data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIA
$path = basename($_FILES['file']['name']);//here i am getting filename
$im = file_get_contents($path);//here i am getting false
$imdata = base64_encode($im); // so can't here encode the filename
$horoscope = array("encode" => $imdata,"path" =>$path,"getcontents" =>$im);
echo json_encode($horoscope);
PHP uploads the file into a temporary file and tells you where that is in the $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] the $_FILES['file']['name'] holds the file name that the user called the file on their system, the one they select in the browser.
So if you want to grab the file before you have done a move_uploaded_file() on the file use $_FILES['file']['tmp']
$path = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$im = file_get_contents($path);
$imdata = base64_encode($im);
$horoscope = array("encode" => $imdata,
"path" =>$path,
"getcontents" =>$im
);
echo json_encode($horoscope);
I was not sure what you were passing back the $path for, so that may still need to be $_FILES['file']['name'].
$horoscope = array("encode" => $imdata,
"path" => $_FILES['file']['name'],
"getcontents" => $im
);
RE:Comment 1
I assume you want to store the base64encoded version of the file to the database so that will be $imdata
RE:Comment 2
To get the extension of the incoming file use pathinfo()
$path = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$file_parts = pathinfo($path);
$extn = $path_parts['extension'];
But beware, just because the extension says .png is not actual guarantee that it is a .png file
I have a function which checks if image files exist. It works for all images, except when a period is inside the filename. The filenames are user uploaded, and many already exist that are not sanitized. Here is an example:
$img = 'nice_name.jpg'; // detects
$img = 'bad_name.7.jpg'; // doesn't detect
if (is_file($path . $img)) {
return $path . $prefix . $img;
}
I'm not sure how to escape this or make it work. I have doubled checked and the file does exist at that path. The function works for other image names in the same folder.
edit: This was marked a duplicate and linked to a question about uploading files. I am using is_file() to check if a file already exists. There is no uploading occurring, and the file already has the extra "." in its name on the server, so this is a different issue.
You can use basename() to get the file name, and then do something with it, like rename it if it contains a period.
$testfile = "test.7.img";
$extension = ".img";
$filename = basename($testfile, $extension);
if(strpos($filename,".") > 0) {
$newname = str_replace(".","",$filename) . $extension ;
rename($testfile,$newname);
}
//... then continue on with your code
I want to upload some GPX (XML technically) files to the server and rename them with dynamic file names (such as 0.gpx, 1.gpx ... ). I can not figure out how to do this with the move_uploaded_file function as it only creates the files extensionless. I get a 'name' file instead of a 'name.gpx' file.
Shouldn't it use the PATHINFO_EXTENSION of the uploadef file automatically to create the file with the right extension?
I have tried to call the function like this:
$filename = 0;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']['tmp_name'][$f], $filename);
$filename++;
Even if I try to create a string with the extension it does not work:
$tmp = 0;
$ext = pathinfo($name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$filename = $tmp + "." + $ext;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']['tmp_name'][$f], $filename);
$tmp++;
Help please?
File name should have the extension. This works fine for me to find the extension:
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["uploadfiles"]["name"]);
$extension = end($temp);
echo $extension; // Display the extension
$tmp = 0;
$filename = $tmp.".".$extension;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']['tmp_name'][$f], $filename);
$tmp++;
Hope this helps.
I don't think temporary files have an extension.
You could manually add "gpx" to the name :
$tmp = 0;
$filename = $tmp . ".gpx";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfiles']['tmp_name'][$f], $filename);
$tmp++;
Or maybe check the mimetype and craft the appropriate extension out of it.
Or take the extension in $_FILES['uploadfiled']['name'], match it in a whitelist, and append it to your final filename.
Hello I am usign the below code to zip a package on upload:
$nameFile = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$download_folder = './CopyrightFiles/';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$fileconpress = $download_folder.$nameFile.".zip";
$conpress = $zip->open($fileconpress, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
if ($conpress === true)
{
$zip->addFile($tmpName);
$zip->close();
echo $fileconpress."<br/>";
echo "yess !! Success!!!! ";
}
else echo " Oh No! Error";
It seems to work ok.
But there are two issues.
First issue it saves the file also with the original extension, something like : image.JPG.zip
Also when I then move the zip package to my local computer (Mac) and I open the ZIP inside I can find only a tmp folder with a binary file inside and NOT the image or the file that should be there!
What the hell is going on?
Please advise
Thank you
That's because your "binary" file is just the temporary name that PHP used to temporarily stored the uploaded file as. That's why it's "tmp_name" in the $_FILES array.
Try this:
$zip->addFile($tmpName, $nameFile);
The second parameter lets you specify what the file's name should be within the zip.
To prevent 'file.jpg.zip', try:
$fileconpress = $download_folder . pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_FILENAME) . ".zip";
Issue #1:
You need to manually remove the extension:
$filename = explode('.', $_FILES['file']['name']);
$filename = $filename[0];
Issue #2:
$tmpName does not contain the filename of the file. You need to pass the $localname parameter in addFile(). See http://php.net/manual/en/function.ziparchive-addfile.php.
I'm using the Uploadify jQuery plugin for PHP to upload a file. One thing I am stuck on is that I need to be able to rename the file being uploaded so that I can post that information to my script that inserts data into the mysql database. Can anyone please advise on how to do this?
Thanks,
Jake
Firstly rename the filename as you want in your uploadify.php
Then you just need to return $targetPath from your uploadify.php file, like this --
echo $targetPath
no need to use echo '1'
And now you have to get the renamed file name. You can get this in onUploadSuccess function.
onUploadSuccess() takes three parameters (file, data, response),
where file gives you the actual name of file you browsed through your computer, and data gives you the renamed file name which you generated through your uploadify.php code as per your requirement.
So you can try the below code --
'onUploadSuccess' : function(file, data, response) {
alert('Renamed file name is - ' + data);
}
I hope this will help out. One of my friend told me this, and I got my work done then :)
you can do like this :-
$targetFolder = FCPATH.'/resources/images/users/temp/'; // Relative to the root
if (!empty($image))
{
$time=strtotime("now");
$image['Filedata']['name']=$time.'.jpg';
$tempFile = $image['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $targetFolder.$image['Filedata']['name'];
// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($image['Filedata']['name']);
if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes))
{
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetPath);
echo '1';
}
else
{
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}
If you use uploadify.php just go right before the function move_uploaded_files and change the target name.
Anyways you do it this should work. Post the code you have if you want a more detailed answer.
This will put file in new folder with same file name as source file
$source = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$newPath = $folder.'/'.$filename;
rename($source, $newPath);
/*----------------------*/
to have a new filename
function getExtension($path)
{
$result = substr(strtolower(strrchr($path, '.')), 1);
$result = preg_replace('/^([a-zA-Z]+)[^a-zA-Z].*/', '$1', $result);
if ($result === 'jpeg' || empty($result) === true) {
$result = 'jpg';
}
return $result;
}
$source = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$newfileName=$folder."/"."abc".getExtension($filename);
rename($source, $newfileName);
