Re: Uploading Files with PHP

Hi Jim, here's how I do it. I test for the file size on the processing page as well, if it's too large I redraw out the upload form. //test for file extension type if needed //determine file size -- if too big ( greater 50kb) then redirect $siz = filesize($userfile); if ($siz >= 51200){ //redraw upload form print "<font face='verdana' size='2' class='text_size_9'>The photo you attempted to upload was too large in file size. Please ensure that the file size does not exceed 50kb.</font>"; print "<form method='POST' action='photoupload.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'><input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='51200'> <input type='file' name='userfile' size='15' style='font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt;'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload' style='font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt;'>"; print "</form>"; } elseif ($siz < 51200) { $timestamp = time(); $userfile_name = $timestamp.$userfile_name ; // copy the file being posted if(copy($userfile, "/dir/dir/pics/". $userfile_name)){ print "<font face='verdana' size='2' class='text_size_9'>Your photo has been uploaded and is viewable in the photo gallery.</font><br><br>" ; } else { print "<font face='verdana' size='2' class='text_size_9'>A problem was encountered during your photo upload.</font><br>"; } $patharola = "pics/". $userfile_name; //connect to db $connectionToDBid = odbc_connect("dgsff", "sdgsdfg", "sdfgsdfg"); //create query statement $sqlr = "INSERT INTO PHOTO (golferid, photo, caption, datesubmitted) VALUES ('$sesgolferid' , '$patharola', '$caption', '$todaysdate' )"; //execute the sql statement (query) on the connection made $resultset = odbc_do($connectionToDBid, $sqlr); blah blah blah ...
