Image Copying
I have this form tag to send an image to my message board: <input type=file name=picture> and the enctype="multipart/form-data" in in the form tag. I them use $picure_name to do two things.

I then try to copy the message to the images directory:exec("cp $picture /full/path/to/mbimages/$picture_name"); The image never gets there. I don't get any error messages, but the image never shows up in that directory.

Copying A Multidimensional Array To $_SESSION
Specifically, is it possible to copy a multidimensional array into the $_SESSION array - ie a deep clone of all keys and data? I naively assumed that $_SESSION["myArray"'] = $myArray ; would work but it doesn't appear to work. Is there a single function or assignment I can use, or would I need to use a "foreach" at every level?
Error While Copying Files After Upload
I'm trying to allow users to upload to the server. The system seems to upload okay (at least it takes a while for the page to refresh after the submit button is pressed). When the submit button is pressed and the files are uploaded, it reloads the script (a $PHP_SELF in the form tag). What happens next is that it tries to copy the uploaded files (a maximum of 3 files can be uploaded) to a more permanent directory on the server. code:
Copying Variable Part Of A String
I have strings like these: $line = "Item <name> xxx stock, costs yyy and will sell for amount zzz"; Problem is <name> can consist of 1..n words. Most items are single words, but some are up to 8 in my example, and there are is no set maximum (well, max is 80 chars I believe, have to look in the stock db, not too relevant I think) I found this out the hard way. I thought I was clever (never do that again) by doing this: $words = explode (" ", $line); $itemname = $words [1]; This only works for single-word names. Now I want to create or use an existing function that simply copies everything between Item and the first numerical substr. The function then should look like: $itemname = GetSubStr ("Item" , <numerical> , $line); <numerical> should be a template of some sort I think.
Controlling The Copying Of Images From A Site
Is there a way to prevent users copying a full size image from a web page. Displaying the image with a smaller width and height only affects the image as viewed, the actual full size image file is still downloaded. I know I can get around it by having two versions of an image, the full size one and a smaller on for display purposes. but is there a way around having to have two images and use the full ssize one and stop it being copied or if copied will only be a thumbnail?
Copying File From Hosted Remote Sever To Local Machine
I am trying to use php to automate the copying of a file from my remotely hosted directory to my computer. I have put together the following but it will only do the copying from one directory to another on the remote server. Reading the postings on these functions they suggest that it can be done but it appears to be the case if your are hosting your site on the same machine you want to copy the files to. Does anyone know if there are functions in php to do the transfer from remote server to my machine or if the code below will acheive this with modification? <?php $ftp_server = "xxxxxxxx"; $ftp_user = "xxxxxxx"; $ftp_pass = "xxxxxx"; $local_file = 'myfile.txt' $server_file = 'myfile.txt' // set up a connection or die $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { die("FTP connection has failed !"); } // try to change the directory to myfilesdirectory if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "myfilesdirectory")) { echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . ""; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory"; } if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) { echo "Successfully written to $local_file"; } else { echo "There was a problem"; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id);

Reading Folders
If I had several folders full of images, how can I get PHP to open the folder, read the image names and save the image names (inc extension) to a MySQL database? What I am trying to do is create an image gallery using PHP/MySQL, so that everytime i take a load of pics, all I would have to do is get PHP to read the contents of the folder and add the filenames to a MySQL database rather than having to manually input the names into the database
Gziping Folders
I'm using PHP and Gzip off the server to gzip up some files. If I select individual files, everything is fine, but I can't figure out the syntax to gzip a folder. $zipfile=shell_exec("gzip -9 test.html"); That's what I'm using for a file. But how do a zip a folder?
Protecting Folders
I have a data driven website. Part of the website is a downloads section - all the downloads are help in a folder called "downloads". When a general user (i.e. one that doesn't have a log in) uses the site and access the downloads page they are given a list of general downloads. When a member who has logged in uses the site, the same page presents the general downloads and the member only downloads. This all works fine. A slight hole in this security, however, is that the downloads folder is not protected. I have moved the member downloads into a subfolder within downloads. How can I protect this so that only people who are logged in can access it - so that general users cannot accidentally browse it or make a direct link to the documents within it?
Sorting Folders
I have a site with photo-albums on it. Each directory represents an album. What i want is on the "home page" of the site a feature which says "newest album: *******" So i have to search the album directory, and then sort them by date. And then it automatically has to grab the newest album. Maybe a slight problem is that the albums are divided over 4 subcategories. (Match, players etc.) Match: - Match 1 - Match 2 - Match 3 Players: - player 1 etc... Albums would be 'Match 1', 'Match 2', etc. hope ypu understand.
Files And Folders
I need to display images on the site. Every image is being stored in its own folder. Folders are updated daily.

Automattic Folders Question
Would it be possible to do the following? and if so , any body have any ideas where i should start. I want to allow users of a web site to create a page (index.php) inside of a folder that is the name of their company so : X Y Z Company would be: http://www.domain.com/X Y Z Company/ or should it be:? http://www.domain.com/X-Y-X-Company/ and i would want index.php to be inside of those directories so that a user could log in and change the information on index.php through a certain amount of form fields. The hardes part i think will be creating the directories on the fly if a user signs up for a site. the index.php page will be simple b/c it will just query the database and then pull the info from the URL.
PHP Access To .htaccess Folders
I've a folder which holds image (.gif/.jpg) files. the folder has been .htaccessed to prevent direct URL access. However, this also prevents my php codes to make calls to this folder. the following proposed solution does not work: 1. putting the image folder outside my root directory - i don't have access to the root directory 2. having <directory> codes </directory> in .htaccess does not work - it blocks everything.
Dealing With Folders/paths
When I develop a site I normally develop it within a directory from the domain name. Example if I was developing a site at http://www.dogs.com I usually would have my development work in a folder located at http://www.dogs.com/jeff/ When I code re-direction links for headers I then do this: Code: $link = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/enquiries.php"; But then when it comes to moving the site to the root of the domain, the re-direction link creats an extra slash(/) to the link being created because there is no sub folder. How do I tacke this situation automatically instead of manually changing all the link variables without removing the dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).

Using Files/folders To Create A DB
I'm always looking for ways to decrease the amount of time I spend adding records to my database. I was thinking about this today, and wondered if it was possible.... I want a PHP script to open a folder or folders, read the files, and make a record in the database for each file. For example: Folder 1 contains the files--4000out.jpg, 3000bcr.jpg, 4000btcf.jpg, etc... When excuted, the script would create (in this case) three records. I only want the script to do the base work, I will add what can't be done to the records later. Also, in the case with mp3's. I'd like the script (or a seperate one) to insert each record using the ID3v1 tag info. I'm familiar with open files and folders...but haven't come across any tutorials or scripts that do this. So...is this possible?
