Basic question saving images

[martinjamesroberts]

Hello there,

 

I'm very new to PHP and I need some help (please!)

 

Basically I'm writing an actionscript application and I am using a php file to save an image to the server, the problem is I define a name in actionscript before I send the information to the php and it continuously saves over the same file..

 

Ideally I would like to attach the (jpg) image to an email, send the mail and delete the image ready for a new image to be created.. is this possible ?

 

At least, I would like to add a +1 to each filename to stop the file being saved over continuously !

 

Thanks in advance for any help

 

<?php
   
   $fileName = $_GET['filename'];
   
   $fp = fopen( $fileName, 'wb' );
   
   fwrite( $fp, $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] );    
   
   fclose( $fp );
  
?>

If this helps I made an add a timestamp function

 

Here's the demo and code for it.

Hi there,

 

This looks fine, do I just copy it into a new PHP file and then #include into my original and use addTimeStamp after the filename ?

 

How would I use this with my code.. I'm good on actionscript but not super hot on php !

 

Thanks for your response

you can paste the above where gonna use it in your code, or can create a new php file and include just this.

 

<?php
function addTimestamp($filename) {
$character = "/";
$target_check = strrchr($filename,$character);
    if ($target_check[$character]) {
     $temp_filename1 = end(explode($target_check[$character],$filename));
     $target = true;
     } else {
      $temp_filename1 = $filename;
      }   
$temp_filename = strtolower(trim($temp_filename1));
//$timestamp = time();//or uncheck and use time
$timestamp = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s');//this one more readable
if ($target) {
$new_filename = str_replace($temp_filename1, "$timestamp-$temp_filename", $filename);
} else {
$new_filename = "$timestamp-$temp_filename";
}
return $new_filename;
}
?> 

 

then for usage just use something like this

 

$some_file = addTimestamp($some_file);
