i'm new to this forum, I'm having trouble trying to get the username of who uploaded the file to my server.
to get to the upload page, the user must be logged in, so a session is set when the user logs in, $_SESSION['username'];
my php code which is actioned when the user hit's "Upload File" is as follows.
Code: Select all
<?php
// Configuration - Your Options
$allowed_filetypes = array('.avi','.mpg','.flv','.swf','.zip','.wmv','.mp4','.vob','.3g2','3gp','.rm'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
$max_filesize = 12024288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 12MB).
$upload_path = '../../onlinestage.co.uk/uploads/'; // 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 <a href="' . $upload_path . $filename . '" title="Your File">here</a>'; // It worked.
else
echo 'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.'; // It failed :(.
?>
I will pay somebody if this is a big job, I just need to get this done as it's a big part in my website.
I appreciate any help you can give me,
Thanks,
Josh
