File Picker


I am needing a pop-up window to select a file and have its path and file name pasted in a form field. Very similar to a date picker, but for files within a network. Does anyone know any javascript or PHP code that I can use ?

File Picker For Input
I posted something about this originally in the javascript forum, but I think it would have been better suited here. Guessing php for the file/directory browsing and js to pass the value to the form. I have a form and on that form is an input field that needs a path & filename. I'm afraid the user will mistype when entering, and would like for them to beable to use a file picker to browse the directories and select the file, passing that value to the input field.

Date Picker!
Im in the middle of a building my 1st Php Website (just for education ) and need Help with a Datepicker, What i need is either Javascript or an Easy Way to do it in php..

I did make a Quick Pull Down menu that put in the next 7 Days but I dont know if its dreamweaver or what but when i tried to copy it to another page it got corrupted & the php and shows the actual php code and not the Resulting Date?

so although my scruffy attempt works im sure there is a better way using a real Datepicker..

what i need is a Picker that shows this in the forms box when date selected:-
Day - Date - Month Year ie ("Saturday 4th Feb 2006").

To Get A File Name, File Size, File Type...?
Is there a way to get information about a file BEFORE it is submitted to the server?
I am trying to make a upload progress bar from scratch WITHOUT THE PRON.C PHP FIX!!!
I found the file being uploaded in my NET://WINN01910//TEMP folder and I can outputs its file size in a popup with a one second refrehs, but this makes it so the USER needs to know the full file size to know if its anywehre near done. 

Is there a way to get the filesize from the clients side?  Possibly javascript that uses ajax to submit the values to the server before the file is sent but when it is selected?? Is there an easier way to do this and/or do you have any ajax example code of how it might work?

I also have another problem, Althoguh i can echo the filesize of what is recieved so far, I am just glob()ing the temp folder for: "php*.tmp" but is there a way to tell the tmp file so they don't see everyone's uploads?

FIle Uploads: Empty _POST And _FILES Arrays When File Too Large
Uploading of files.. AFAIU from the manual, if a file is larger than the
size defined in the form or larger than upload_max_filesize in php.ini,
that _FILES['file']['error'] should hold an INT error code.

The file upload system is working fine if the file is smaller than the
defined size, but if it's larger, then both the _POST and _FILES arrays
are completely empty:

array(0) {
}

I can obviously check to see if $_FILES is set and contains elements,
but I was hoping for more specific error handling (reason as to why the
upload failed).

Has anyone else encountered this? Any info welcomed =)

File Upload - Nothing In The $_FILES Array After Selecting A File And Clicking Submit

There seems to be nothing in the $_FILES array after selecting a file and clicking submit. Any ideas why? All I get is this when trying to echo some of the $_FILES variables: File Array is Array bytes, i.e. the word Array is just being printed instead of the relevant info.

File Upload Fails - Different Files And Sizes And The Time Required Seems To Be Proportional To File Size,
I'm using IE5.5 as client and php4 on linux/apache as server. I've followed the examples for doing a file upload from a form and everything appears to work from the client side. In my script I see the following values:

UploadedFile=none
UploadedFile_name=test.html
UploadedFile_type=text/html
UploadedFile_size=0

I've tried different files and sizes and the time required seems to be proportional to file size, so I think there is a file being sent by the browser. The UploadedFile_name and type reflect the file being sent. Since I'm not getting a name for the temporary file in UploadedFile (if it was in fact created) and size = 0, I can't move or copy it.

Email With File Attachements - How To Upload File To Server From Browser?

However this file needs to be on the same server as the script.

I know I can use the <input type="file" > HTML to generate a file box that

Is there an easy way to do this?

Creating Link To File Or Temp File For User Download
I am designing a document management system (DMS). The files are stored
in a directory on the webserver. The filenames for the documents are
stored in a MySQL database. The DMS will track revisions from the
initial version through the updates. We must have strict permissions
set so only authorized personnel can access some documents. All of the
documents when uploaded are given totally random names such as
"114723fb5422c6bd5ed18f6.doc". Is there a way, without the webserver
creating a new file name "document_specs_ver2.doc" to have the file
download named "document_specs_ver2.doc".

If I must physically create a new file, how do I know when the
webserver would be allowed to delete it? Notes: The files will be in
several different file formats, not just "doc".

which starts the download of an mp3 file in one particular case. If you do not save target as and just select 'open' the temp file is zero bytes even though the download process took a while and showd how much progress you were making. So something is happening to the temp file.

Warning: move_uploaded_file() Unable to move *file* to *new file* in *script*

Thats it, no permissions error or "unable to open stream"- all the searching I've done everyone seeems to get another error- but I'm only getting the one. Permissions on the folder are 777, the paths are absolute and definitely correct, safe_mode and open_basedir are both off. I even called is_uploaded_file() on the line before it and it returned true. The only thing I can think of is that the hosts upgraded to php4.4 recently- could that be it? Are there any known problems (or changes that would break my script)?

Uploading A File And Checking Form Fields, Without Reselecting File?
I've got a page upload1.php which contains a form that asks the user to select a couple of variables:

File owner (compulsory)
Menu ID (compulsory)
File Description (optional)
File to upload

This form then goes to upload2.php where I check the form values, and if all ok write the info to my database and upload the file.

File owner and MenuID are compulsory, the first thing upload2.php does is check that these are completed. If either field is missing, the form is presented again for the user to complete the missing fields. Fields that were completed are carried forward into this form so the user doesn't have to re-enter.

the question: While I can carry the other fields forward from upload1.php to upload2.php, I can't figure out how or if I can carry forward the location of the file to be uploaded so the user doesnt' have to reselect?

Form from upload2.php follows. Area in question is highlighted - it's my best guess, but it doesn't work.....

Open File, Put First 5 Lines Into A Variable, Close File...
1) I want to open a file on my server.
2) I want to read only the first 5 lines.
3) Put the first five lines into a variable.
4) Close the file.
5) Display the contents of the variable.

I know how to use the fopen() but I have big problems just trying to read the first 5 lines only? I tried many things. I downloaded some search scripts which displayed the <meta> tag only from html pages...

What is this guy doing?

Well I have a big site and content is added and changed everyday. I have a dynamic page that reads a directory for files and then puts a link (well it includes the file for reading on my php page). That works great! MY PROBLEM is that I want not only a link but a small description below it (basically the first five lines on the file)...

See so far:
Quote: if (isset ($content)) {
include ("files/$content.html");
echo "<p><A HREF="read.php"><b>Back to index</b></A>";
} else {
echo "<b>Opening directory, reading files, and listing them as a link</b><p>";
$handle = opendir('./files');
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo eregi_replace (".html", "", "<A HREF="read.php?content=$file">$file</a><p>");

PHP/IIS: File Read/Write OK, File Unlink Denied
I've got PHP running fine on IIS (OS: Server 2003, SP1; IIS: 6.0; PHP:
4.3.11).

In PHP, the user uploads a file, which is then processed and the
contents are inserted into a new file, created in PHP, onto the server.

This bit works fine, the new file created by PHP is correctly stored.

Later, once the user confirms the upload and PHP inserts the contents
of the file into the DB, the code tries to remove the file created in
PHP moments earlier, via the unlink() function.

What I see on screen is the following: Permission denied

I have made sure that the permissions for the Internet account that
created (and is trying to delete) the file have full permissions over
this particular folder and the files within it. But the user must have
permission anyway, because they are able to create this file in the
first place.

I've looked at the permissions for the file in PHP, which read: 0666.
So everthing *appears* ok to me; I can't see where the permission issue
is coming from.
