Upload one file to 2 different locations

Slimsteve · Nov 14, 2005

Does anyone know if it is possible to upload a image to different locations on a server at once. I have tried various ways of doing this, but each time the second move_upload does not seem to work, but if I comment out the first move_upload, the second will work, but I cannot do both at the same time. Am I missing something here???

Any help appreciated.

<body>
<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

</html>

Code:

<?php
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
       $name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
       move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "images/$name");
       	move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "backupimages/$name");

   }
}
?>

try this:

Code:

<?php
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
       $name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
       move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "images/$name");
   }
}
move_uploaded_file("images/$name", "backupimages/$name");

?>

untested though.

Just a rough guide on how it would be done.

That still produces the same result i.e. I get the images in location one but not it location two.

I'd use

Code:

<?php
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
   if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
       $tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
       $name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
       if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "images/$name"))
       {
              // we know the move_upload worked, so back it up
              copy("images/$name", "backupimages/$name"); 
       }

   }
}
?>
