upload

I'm writing the code for a website right now that's uploads images and then displays them gallery style. What I would like to happen is for the file name of the image to be entered into the site's database as the name of the image. However, just using $_FILES['images']['name']; gives me the file name but with the file extension attached at the end. How would I remove the file extension so I can use the file name by itself? You can use the pathinfo() function ( docs ). $example = "my_file.jpeg"; $filename = pathinfo($example, PATHINFO_FILENAME); echo $filename; // my_file Just use preg_replace:

I'm building an app which needs to take uploaded files and put them in separate directories for thumbnails and fullsize images. But $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/'; only allows me to select one upload path. How do I define two or more upload paths? Actually all you need to do is "re-initialize" the upload class. Codeigniter does not allow you to call the class twice with new parameters (it ignores the second request), however you can tell the class to manually load new parameters. Here are the basics: (notice the line "$this->upload->initialized($config)" This is the key. // this is for

Im trying to send a local file by client curl app. I found some examples to do that with files from a form. In my case, I have no form, but a local file. $fileName = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/www/images/test.pdf"; if(!file_exists($fileName)) { $out['status'] = 'error'; $out['message'] = 'File not found.'; exit(json_encode($out)); } $data = array('name' => 'Foo', 'file' => '@'.$fileName); $cURL = curl_init("http://myapi/upload-images"); curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); $response = curl_exec(

What HTML5/Javascript method I can use to upload and compress files on the client side? The code to select multiple files: Note: If you upload files occupying this method, the server is slow to compress files, to prevent overloading is preferable to compress from the client side <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="fileselect[]" multiple="multiple"> <input type="submit"> </form> The code as I'd like it to be: <script> ... </script> ... <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input style="display:none" type="file" name="singlezipfile"> <input

I have seen all the upload progress bar plugins, widgets, etc. – they all suck. They're either too bulky with too much useless code or they don't work. What I want to know is where I can read up on how to display an easy upload progress indicator. Most browsers have a status progress bar on them below, but it isn't very professional to use just that when dealing with clients. How does the browser do it? I want to know the internals of how the browser works with for indicating the status of something uploading so that maybe I can make something using PHP & jquery. Thanks. Since you want to use

What is the best way storing binary or image files? Database System File System Would you please explain , why? There is no real best way, just a bunch of trade offs. Database Pros : 1. Much easier to deal with in a clustering environment. 2. No reliance on additional resources like a file server. 3. No need to set up "sync" operations in load balanced environment. 4. Backups automatically include the files. Database Cons : 1. Size / Growth of the database. 2. Depending on DB Server and your language, it might be difficult to put in and retrieve. 3. Speed / Performance. 4. Depending on DB
