Re: multiple file upload

here's a couple of the more tricky code snippets which should make it easy for folks to see how a multiple file upload select can work - the rest is basically a lot of interaction with the database - storing / retrieving the upload list. Its a bit tricky but worth it though - the users responcible for uploads via the system I built have been saying it makes their lives a lot easier. If i get time i'll try and generalise the whole thing into an absract class that folks can use... // remove a file from upload target list function removeFileFromUploadList() { $this->getFileUploadList(); // get the upload list from the database $selectedFileList = $_POST['selectedFileList']; // an array of selected values from the multiple select box // diff the arrays, store the new list if ((sizeof($this->uploadFileList) >= 1) && ($selectedFileList != "")) { $this->uploadFileList = array_values(array_diff($this->uploadFileList,$selectedFileList)); // subtract remove items $this->storeFileUploadList(); } } // add pipe encoding to an array (file upload list) and return a string for storage in db function addPipeEncoding($array) { for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($array); $i++) { $addPipe = ((sizeof($array) == 1) || ($i == sizeof($array)-1)) ? "" : "|"; $returnValue .= $array[$i].$addPipe; } return $returnValue; } // remove pipe encoding from string function removePipeEncoding($encodedString) { $split = explode("|",$encodedString); for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($split); $i++) { if ($split[$i] != "") { $returnArray[] = $split[$i]; } } return $returnArray; } _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
