PHP file directory upload script

[superchrisc]

Good Evening,

 

If anyone could help with this little problem be much appreciated.

 

what i'm trying to do is using  a drop down menu select a folder name which is stored in a database table.. then taking that folder name and upload various files to that specified folder. There's probably an easier way to do this but i've searched google argggh..

 

The first part of code is the php to grab the folder names and the file selection form

 

<?php 
include("connection.php");

$sql="SELECT id, name FROM gallery";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

$options="";

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

    $id=$row["id"];
    $thing=$row["name"];
    $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$thing ;
}	
?>

<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<form action="postFiles.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td><strong>multiple Files Upload </strong></td>
</tr>
<td><SELECT NAME=thing>
<OPTION VALUE=0>Choose
<?=$options?>
</SELECT> 
</td>
<tr>
<td>Select file 
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile[]" type="file" id="ufile[]" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>

 

The second part of the code below is the php code to upload those files, the problem being how do i specify the upload destination using the drop down in the previous form (instead of UPLOAD) which it is default set to

 

<?php


//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload 
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path1= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$path2= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1];
$path3= "upload".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2];

//copy file to where you want to store file
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1], $path2);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][2], $path3);
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][1]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][1]."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
echo "<P>";

echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][2]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2]."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][2]."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Use this code to display the error or success.

$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][1];
$filesize3=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][2];

if($filesize1 && $filesize2 && $filesize3 != 0) 
{
echo "We have recieved your files";
}

else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////

// What files that have a problem? (if found)

if($filesize1==0) {
echo "There're something error in your first file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize2==0) {
echo "There're something error in your second file";
echo "<BR />";
}

if($filesize3==0) {
echo "There're something error in your third file";
echo "<BR />";
}

?>
