PHP :: Delete Image From Folder

How To Delete An Undeletable Folder!
I run PHP5 and was testing a script to allow users sampling a demo script
But to keep security high asides the usuals I create a new folder and a new set of scripts per each required demo with a folder extension created by a rand function. So first the folder is created and a set of tpl are copied in the new folder and written on.

To make a story short:
While testing on the production server I found some bugs and fixed them but the first trial attempt created a folder with a set of files that weight exactly as the tpl copied from and do have a correct PHP extension but refuses to be deleted or renamed or schmod etc... via FTP

Now that I am bugless I can indeed do whatever with then newly created folders and files but still cannot delete my first test.

When I try to del it it goes away but if I refresh it’s back there!

Delete Ftp-folder Created Via Php Installation?
how do I delete a folder at my ftp-server, that was automatically
created through a installation script? I dont have the permission to

do I need to execute it:

function delete($file) {
chmod($file,0777);

}
}

}
}

Viewing Image From A CHMOD Blocked Folder
How can I show an Image that is inside a folder which I've blocked using CHMOD?
The reason I've blocked the containing folder of the Image is so no one could enter the folder's URL and see ALL of the images in it.

For Example: I have a file that is viewing the "Dog" photo from the Blocked Folder "Private_Images". In that case I cannot view the dog's file because the "Private_Images" folder is blocked, but if I will remove the blocking from the folder, then anyone could view all of my other photos.

Drag Files From One Folder To Another Folder (copy) .. Possible?

Remove From $name (folder)/(folder)/[x]/ <-- If Exists To Just Get [x].
I'll be quite honest. I don't have the faintest idea
how to do this, while I can do other php without a problem. Once I
know how to go about it I'll be okay.
It's two things I think?
1. see if there's a trailing slash and delete it.
2. Remove the preceding path to /x, the folders and slashes, and
delete them.
and then I have x.

X by the way is the final folder in a website and this grabs it for
me.

<?
$name = $REQUEST_URI;
?>

How Do I Get The Image Height Width When Generating Image From PHP (getimagesize Does Seem To Work)
Is it possible to obtain the width/ height of an image when that image
is dyanically created using a PHP script and passing GET attributes.
For example:

<img src="images/showImage.php?image_id=5" />

My images are created from images stored on the server, their paths
stored on in database table and retrieved using the GET image_id and
PHP script (showImage.php). Because the images are different sizes I
would like to be able to use a PHP function / class that can take an
image path and generate the IMG width and height attributes. This
would just tidy up the page when loading.

So when I try to use PHP 'getimagesize' like so:

$wh = getimagesize ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/images/showImage.php?
image_id=5");

.... I get an error saying that the file or directory does not exist:

Warning: getimagesize(/customersites/0/home/httpd/vhosts/
mydomain.co.uk/httpdocs/images/showImage.php?image_id=5): failed to
open stream: No such file or directory in /customersites/0/home/httpd/
vhosts/mydomain.co.uk/httpdocs/classes/html.class.php on line 11

I thin it may be the GET atttribute that is throwing it. How would I
go about doing this?

Determine Image Information On Image Stored In MySQL BLOB
I store images in my DB as BLOB. When I want to place them in an html
table, I want to determine the width of the image in order to asign the
correct width to the column inside table.
For JPEGs this is working fine, this is my code:

$image = @imagecreatefromstring($r["foto"]);
return @imagesx($image);

where $r["foto"] is the field selected from the db which contains the image.

For GIFs however, its getting really on my nerves !!
I know imagecreatefromstring is not supported in gd2 and I tried several
thinks. None of them worked ! :
-
$temp = tmpfile();
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($temp);
echo $attr;

gives me :Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'Resource id #6' for reading
-
$handle = fopen("/tmp/tmp.dat", "w+");
fwrite($handle, $r["foto"]);
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($handle);
echo $attr;

gives me : Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open 'Resource id #6' for
reading
-
Doing this with imagecreatefromgif($temp); wont work either !

Can somebody help me out please? by telling me what I'm doing wrong or what
I should do.

Script To Post A Placeholder Image If Image Is Not Found On Server
I'm creating a site with an archive of photo galleries, and on each gallery page i'm looking to have a sidebar that shows a cross-section of other galleries in groups of 10, via thumbnails... except that sometimes, the updated galleries won't actually be there yet, so i'd like to have a script that basically looks for "set053/001.jpg", and if that image hasn't been uploaded, then a placeholder image saying "coming soon" would be shown. Ugh, that's a horrible descrition. Here's the outline of it:

-Say there are 52 photo sets (updates will be made regularly).
-If you're on any gallery between 1 and 10, this "sidebar" will show thumbnails of the other galleries within that group of 10.
-On a gallery between 11-20, you'll see the sidebar thumbnails for galleries 11-20... and so forth.
-But on the most recent set of 10, in this instance galleries 51-60, the galleries 53 thru 60 haven't yet been uploaded, so having a static sidebar that shows "galleries 51-60" would yeild broken images for the thumbs for 53 - 60 right now.

So hopefully that made more sense... basically, if PHP can find "set053/001.jpg" on the server, it shows it. If it can't, then have it show something like "images/comingsoon.jpg".

Writing A Blob Image Out To A File - Jpg Image Looks Weird?
I've got simple watermarking working. I write a Blob image out from my db to a temp file and then overlay the watermark image to create 1 whole image.

The watermark is perfect, but the exported blob behind it looks all garbled - parts are visible but its not right!

I've looked at the temp file thats created by the line "fwrite($t_img, $data);" and the image looks corrupt, but displaying this field using usual php methods the blob looks fine.....

Here's the code :-

@MYSQL_CONNECT("$server","$user","$password");
@mysql_select_db("$database");
$query = "SELECT image, mime_type, image_width, image_height FROM items WHERE ID='$id'";
$result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query);
$data = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"image");
$type = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"mime_type");
$image_width = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"image_width");
$image_height = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"image_height");
// Write blob data out to temp image file to prep for Watermark
// creating a temp image name
$t_img_name = tempnam ("./temp", "timg");
$t_img = fopen($t_img_name, "w");
// $content is the blob field with the image.
fwrite($t_img, $data);
fclose($t_img);
//-$size = getimagesize($t_img_name);
//echo $size[0]." - ".$size[1];
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg($t_img_name);
$watermarkImage = 'images/watermark2.png'
$x = 165;
$y = 130;
imagesetbrush($img, imagecreatefrompng($watermarkImage));
imageline($img, $x, $y, $x, $y, IMG_COLOR_BRUSHED);
imagejpeg($img);
// End of watermark protection
// don't forget to delete the temp file after all.
//unlink($t_img_name);
$type = "image/jpg";
if(strlen($data) < 1) {
header("Location: ./images/nopicsubmitted.jpg");
} else {
//header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
echo $img;
}

Can anyone spot if i've made a mistake, used wrong function or syntax etc?

Creating Watermark With Another Image & Resizing Watermarked Image
I have a script that watermarks an image; it adds a transparent gif over my base image. I also have a script to resize my image. But here is where the problem comes in; these are two different scripts - none of the code will interconnect (variable wise - that is), so I am having a problem trying to piece together a PHP GD Image code that will create a watermark and will then be resized. Below is my code for resizing my image, but from there - I know I need to use imagecreategif somewhere and imagecopy somewhere; but where, I do not know. Code:

How To Get Folder Name Out Of
An easy one for somebody, but I have not got my head round it yet. I need to get the folder name out of a URL ie:

/support/desktop/documents/general/fa95e9e698c76fdc606f3b94fe89b48b/17_Import_data_en.pdf

PHP 5.2 Doesn't Have Ext Folder?
I just downloaded and installed php v5.2, Apache 2.2 and mysql 5.0.27. I'm having the same problems as many regarding the "undefined function" error and am trying to work through it, but I'm noticing (via many of these troubleshooting tutorials) that people are talking about an "extensions" folder and a php-recommended.ini file and the such, and I notice that I don't have either in my installation of 5.2.

Did I download the "preferred" installation package? The one I downloaded is called php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi.

I'm coming from a php 4.4.2 apache v1.3.31 and mysql v4.0.20a - all of which was lost during a major crash so I have nothing to compare these 5.2 files against.

If I've downloaded a "non-preferred" installer, could someone tell me which one I should install to get everything working properly -- or at the least to have a complete package.

Folder Name As A GET?
I currently have a website and would like to be able to give my members
an alias to access their profile. At the moment, people have to go to
something like www.domain.com/viewmember.php?id=3456, which isn't
practical unless it's through clicking links.

I'd like to be able to give my members the ability to use something
like www.domain.com/myname, which would then forward to the correct
page. The problem I can see is that the server thinks myname is
actually a folder and returns a 404 error.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Check For Folder
how would i check if there's at least one folder in the current folder? the current folder is $dir/$f/

this is what i have, but i know its wrong

$fillle = "$dir/$f/";
if (file_exists($fillle)) {$Q="true";} else{$Q="false";}

Folder Retrieval
I have managed to retrieve a list of pdfs that are in a folder and displayed them with a link to a new window:

<?php
//RETRIEVES FOLDERS CONTENTS
$dir = "/var/www/html/bbcl/building/projects/pdfs";
$folder = "/bbcl/building/projects/pdfs/";
$handle = opendir($dir);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo "<a href="$folder$file" target=new>$file</a><br>";
}
}
?>
But it also display's the name of folders that live there, anyway of specifing what file extensions to appear in the list?

Rename A Folder

Renaming A Folder
is there any way to rename a folder using PHP?

Getting And Using Contents In A Folder
I want to make a photogallery/slideshow with PHP...

The 'gallery/slideshow' would show up inside a new window.
basically, I just want links with possibility to go:

- forward
- back
- to the very beginning
- to the very end
- away (close the window)

Can I use PHP to determine the contents of the folder with the pictures and then use variables to determine which photo to show, and what URL's should be generates for the arrows? So each folder with a series of photographs would have one PHP file and the pictures themselves in them (it's not a problem to rename them).

Should be simple enough, but I'm just starting out with PHP, and I'd like to have something working as soon as possible... the website I'm working on is about to launch soon (my first 'commercial' web project :) ), and this is about the only thing left that I still have to sort out how to do...

Size Of Folder
how i get the size in k of a certain folder on mysite, i know i've done this before but can't think of what to look under at php.net.

Current Folder
Does anyone know easy way to find out the current folder where the script is? I tried to this but it doesn´t work in my Linux web-server, but it works in NT-desktop.

$dir1 = getenv(PATH_INFO);
$last = strrpos($dir1, "/");
$dir2 = substr ($dir1,0, $last);
$name = strrpos($dir2, "/");
$folder = substr($dir2,$name+1,20);

Folder Permission
I have a problem when i create a folder using the following php code:

<?php mkdir ("foltest/bleh", 0777); ?>

The problem is that the folder "bleh" doesn't have the 777 permission like I wish it did, but it has 755 instead. Is there something wrong with my code, or could this be caused by my host?

Folder Browser
I'm looking for some sort of php folder browser - basically if i have the following folders;

index
index/welcome
help
help/email
help/web
docs

in one pull down will display the folders index, help, and docs - where as menu 2 will display the folders that lie in index, help or docs.

The Root Folder
I've a web site in the address http://mySite.com
in the root, I've a file index.html

I've some subfiolders insid root/sub1/sub2

I like to add an html file (or php) index.html that call the index.html of
the root (in order to protect)
Now I've created 2 different index.html because I use relative path to
design the root (../index.html and ../../index.html)

I like to have the same file in all folders,but I don't know how to call the
root folder.

Folder Permissions
My trouble might be simple, but I'm quite new to php, and, perhaps I'm even
more simple.
It's that I had to chmod 777 two folders to get my scripts do what I wanted
them to do, and I don't like it.
I have a script running on my ISP's unix-apache -server. It is to read
string from a form, and create a text-file in a subfolder 'txt' from it.
The essential parts of the script is here:

$fnam=$HTTP_POST_VARS[filename];
$handle =fopen("txt/".$fnam, "w");
$teksti=$HTTP_POST_VARS[tekstikentta];
touch('txt/'.$fnam);
fwrite($handle,$teksti);
fclose($handle);

Can't be simpler.
This script didn't work until I did a chmod777 for both folders, the one
where this script is, and the 't' subfolder. Is there a way to get around
this?

Folder Loop
i have a folder called "profile_images" how do I loop through the images in this folder, and echo each filename guys?

Getting Contents Of Folder
I've made half of the code for a little "hosting" site for a few of the members of my site. Their files are uploaded to /login/<username>/

I'm now stuck as to how to show the contents of the folder in a page. I think the use of fopen() is needed, however the php website is a little confusing.

Getting The Size Of A Folder
All Ive been trying to do is make a short php script (embedded in the html, no separate file) that simply displays how much space, in megabytes, the contents of a certain folder is taking and use an echo command to display it. I've tried the filesize command and it always gives me 4,096 regardless of the contents. I assume this is because PHP is taking the size of the actual folder. I've tried disk_total_space but this displays a number that is completely off.

Delete Image From Folder

I have some php scripts to upload images and delete it. But if I delete the image I only delete the image's data in the database, and the image still remains in the folder. My question is, how can I remove the image from the image folder?
