I guess I should have explained the purpose. What I want to do is give
the user a way to select a directory on his/her computer, then pass the
contents of that directory to PHP's FTP function so that the files
within the directory are uploaded to the web server. In short, I'm
trying to create a very simple, very easy-to-use browser-based FTP app
for a client who either can't be bothered or doesn't have the
"gumption" to learn how to use a real FTP app. Since this is a custom
job, the user will always be connecting to the same server (their
site). I just need a foolproof way to get the directory they select and
pass the contents to the FTP function.
I'm currently using Javascript to get the full local file path from a
file input, and save it to a hidden field.
For instance:
<form action="ftptest.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="srcdir" type="file" name="srcdir" onclick="getdir()" />
<input id="srcpath" type="hidden" name="srcpath" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="movepath()"
/>
</form>
The javascript in question:
<script type="text/javascript">
function movepath() {
var thepath = document.getElementById('srcdir').value;
document.getElementById('srcpath').value = thepath;
}
</script>
This passes the full path (such as '/Library/Apache2/htdocs/bob/' on
Mac OSX) of the local directory to the hidden form field to be passed
on to the FTP function.
HOWEVER... the FTP function can't use the local file path as-is, so I
need to use that info to gather the contents of the directory to pass
to the FTP function instead. That's what I'm trying to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Bob
