So You Wanna Upload Area On Your Website?

[fozzy]

Below are the instructions for getting an upload area on your website.

 

Put this code into your website and remember to save the extension as a '.php' (.html, .htm, etc. wont work):

 

</pre><form action="./upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  

     Select a file:  

     Upload File
  

<

 

Save this as upload.php and upload it then make a new folder and call it files make sure its CHMOD to 777:

   // Configuration - Your Options
     $allowed_filetypes = array('.jpg','.gif','.bmp','.png'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
     $max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB).
     $upload_path = './files/'; // The place the files will be uploaded to (currently a 'files' directory).

  $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
  $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.

  // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.
  if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
     die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');

  // Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user.
  if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
     die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');

  // Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.
  if(!is_writable($upload_path))
     die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');

  // We'll start handling the upload in the next step

?>

  // Configuration - Your Options
     $allowed_filetypes = array('.jpg','.gif','.bmp','.png'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
     $max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB).
     $upload_path = './files/'; // The place the files will be uploaded to (currently a 'files' directory).

  $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
  $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.

  // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.
  if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
     die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');

  // Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user.
  if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
     die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');

  // Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.
  if(!is_writable($upload_path))
     die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');

  // Upload the file to your specified path.
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename))
        echo 'Your file upload was successful, view the file here'; // It worked.
     else
        echo 'There was an error during the file upload.  Please try again.'; // It failed :(.

?>
