Uploading Filetypes and placing them in seperate folders.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

first post , and asking for help im afraid. Very new to PHP, was making good progress I thought , but im stuck with this part. I have a uploading form that works perfectly and uploads everything to "uploads/images" . What Im trying to do is upload .txt or .rtf files to "uploads/text" and .jpg and .gif's to "uploads/images . I thought this wasnt going to be too difficult but im totally stuck and have spent hours trying to solve this. If anyone could help at all and show my what I'm doing wrong, Id be very very grateful!

This is the code as it stands. Right now, it ALWAYS goes to "uploadfail.php" and the file does not upload. If I remove all the code relating to filetype then both the text and image files succesully upload and I go to "uploadsucess.php"


Code: <?
require('connection.php');

//my_sql_real..... makes it safe against mysql injection

$title = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']);
$date = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['date']);
$author = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['author']);
$description = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description']);
$type = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['type']);

$imgName = $_FILES['pic']['name'];
$imgTmp = $_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'];
$imgSize = $_FILES['pic']['size'];
$imgType = $_FILES['pic']['type'];

$maxFileSize = 200000;

if ($imgType == "image/jpeg" || $imgType == "image/gif" || $imgType == "application/rtf" || $imgType == "application/x-rtf" || $imgType == "text/richtext" || $imgType == "text/plain" ) {
$error = "";



} else {
$error = "type";

}

if ($imgType == "image/jpeg" || $imgType == "image/gif" ) {
$filetype = "image";
}

if ($imgType == "application/rtf" || $imgType == "application/x-rtf" || $imgType == "text/richtext" || $imgType == "text/plain" ) {
$filetype = "text";
} else {
$filetype = "other";

}



if ($imgSize > $maxFileSize) {
$error = "size";
}

if ($error == "" && $imgName != "" && $filetype == "image" ) {
$filePath = "uploads/images/".$imgName;
move_uploaded_file($imgTmp, $filePath);







if ($error == "" && $imgName != "" && $filetype == "text" ) {

$filePath = "uploads/text/".$imgName;
move_uploaded_file($imgTmp, $filePath);










//another securtiy measure sprintf
$query = sprintf("INSERT INTO gallery(title,date,author,type,description,path) VALUES ('%s' , '%s' ,'%s' ,'%s' ,'%s' ,'%s' )", $title,$date,$author,$type,$description,$filePath);

if (!mysql_query($query, $connect)) {
die();
} else {

header("Location: uploadsuccess.php");
}
}
} else {
header("Location: uploadfail.php");
}
?>
