Upload to user-defined directory?

tom · #1 (**permalink**) 09-26-03, 11:10 AM

hey guys,
i have a working uploader running on my site, which is all very nice, but nowi want to categorise my index of files.

i'm gonna do it in like 5 folders.. photography / paintings / sketches etc.

i want to be able to upload any type of file to my server, but i want it to upload to the correct directory.

suppose i am viewing my photography directory, and i want to add a new photo. i want to click the link to this uploader script, and then upload the file, but also upload it into the apropriate directory.
if my file was called "photo_12.jpg", this is how it currently works out.

/photography/
/sketches/
/paintings/
/photo_12.jpg

but i want that to be

/photography/photo_12.jpg
/sketches/
/paintings/

i am not much of a coder, i got the original upload script from somewhere else. what i would like to know is, how do i expand the current solution to work with multiple directories? i'd like there to be a dropdown menu or something, maybe a radiop button or whatever, to allow me to tell the script where i want the file to land.

i'll post the uploader code in a second

upload.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



require("upload_config.php");



if($doupload) {



if($ADMIN[RequirePass] == "Yes") {

if($password != "$ADMIN[Password]") {

?>

    <p />&nbsp;&nbsp;

    <strong>

    <font color="#FF0000" face="Verdana">Error</font>

              <td colspan="2">Invalid password.</td>

          </tr>

        </table>

      </td>

    </tr>

  </table>

</P>

</body>

</html>

<?php

exit();

}

}



$num = 0;

while($num < $ADMIN[UploadNum]) {

$num++;





$picture = "fileup$num"."_name";

$picture1 = $$picture;

$picture2 = "fileup$num";

$picture3 = $$picture2;



if($picture3 != "none") {

$filesizebtyes = filesize($picture3);



$ok = 1;

if($filesizebtyes < 10) {

$error .= "Error uploading (file size lower than 10 bytes) for file $num<BR>";

$ok = 2;

}







if(file_exists("$ADMIN[directory]/$picture1") OR $ok == 2) {

$error .="File name already exists for file $num<BR>";

} else {

copy ($picture3, "$ADMIN[directory]/$picture1");

$error .="File $num has been uploaded<BR>";

}

}

}



if(!$error) {

$error .= "No files have been selected for upload";
