How to get name from a <input type="file" /> ? 2

[C0FFEE123]

How can i get the name of <input type="file" /> ?
I tought with $_FILES['name']; but that wasn't correct.\
$_POST['name'] also doesn't works.

You must specify a name tag:

<input type="file" name="uploadfile" />

Then:

$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']

|| ABC

 

[jaxtell]

$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']

Where "uploadedfile" is the name of the input.

Hi

Have you specified [tt]enctype[/tt] as suggested by jpadie in thread434-1498165 ?

Yup

 

[jaxtell]

can you post the actual html you're using, and

print_r($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

Your HTML code should be something like:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="...">
<input type="file" name="uploadfile" />
</form>

where "uploadfile" can be replaced with any name you wish (as long as you use the same name in the $_FILES).

Also, try replacing $_FILES with $HTTP_POST_FILES in case you are using a version of PHP earlier than 4.1.0

|| ABC

if you have more than one input with the same name, the results will be in a numerically ordered array.

please read the manual on handling file uploads

The PHP part send.php
include_once '../includes/db.inc.php';
include_once 'admin.inc.php';
check_login();
top_admin('occasions', $pagina_titel);
open_db();
$sql="INSERT INTO occasion (occasion_name, occasion_short_description, occasion_long_description, occasion_price, occasion_picture, occasion_picture_medium)
VALUES
('$_POST[artikel]', '$_POST[korte_omschrijving]', '$_POST[uitgebreide_omschrijving]', '$_POST[prijs]', '$HTTP_POST_FILES[plaatje][name]', '$HTTP_POST_FILES[plaatje_m][name]')";
echo $sql . "<br />" . "<br />";
mysql_query($sql);


The html part insert.php
//echo $_POST;

include_once '../includes/db.inc.php';
include_once 'admin.inc.php';

check_login();
top_admin('occasions', $pagina_titel);
open_db();
echo '<form action="occ_send.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <br />';
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
<input type="file" name="plaatje_m"> <br />';

echo '<input type="submit" value="Invoeren"';

There is also a input file for "plaatje"
Forgot to copy

 

[jaxtell]

I just tested this on my server. here is the code

<?php
echo '<form action="test2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <br />'; ?>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
<input type="file" name="plaatje"> <br />
<?php
echo   '<input type="submit" value="Invoeren">';
?>

and

<?php
print_r($_POST);
echo "<br/>";
echo $_FILES[plaatje][name] . '<br/>';
echo $_FILES['plaatje']['name'];
?>

the result is

Array ( [MAX_FILE_SIZE] => 1000000 )

I know that is also working at mine.
Only i have to put it into a database :')
So i can't use the echo.
I get Array['name'] the whole time.
I want to see picture.jpg in there!

 

[jpadie]

read the manual.

the $_FILES array does NOT hold the file itself. but pointers to the file. the file is stored in the location specified in temp_name. you get the contents of the file through one of the normal file_* commands.

do not forget to escape db data. you are leaving yourself open to sql injection attacks.

 

[C0FFEE123]

Hmmm can you give me an example?

 

[tsuji]

That part, what is it???
>[tt][prijs]', [red]'$HTTP_POST_FILES[plaatje][name]',[/red] '$HTTP_POST_FILES[plaatje_m][name]')";[/tt]

 

[tsuji]

Also the field name is quoted, not bared.

 

[C0FFEE123]

I now made it:

$sql="INSERT INTO occasion (occasion_name, occasion_short_description, occasion_long_description, occasion_price, occasion_picture, occasion_picture_medium)
VALUES
('$_POST[artikel]', '$_POST[korte_omschrijving]', '$_POST[uitgebreide_omschrijving]', '$_POST[prijs]', $_FILES[plaatje][name], '$_FILES[plaatje_m][name]')";

 

[jaxtell]

$sql="INSERT INTO occasion (occasion_name, occasion_short_description, occasion_long_description, occasion_price, occasion_picture, occasion_picture_medium)
VALUES
('$_POST[artikel]', '$_POST[korte_omschrijving]', '$_POST[uitgebreide_omschrijving]', '$_POST[prijs]', '" . $_FILES[plaatje][name] . "', '" .$_FILES[plaatje_m][name]. "')";
