Hi,
If i have a filename room.jpg in my Upload
Directory, and someone else comes and uploads a file
by the same name, the previous room.jpg is
overwritten by the new one. Any suggestions?
Well, I presume that you would like for this *not* to happen right?
if so, just add a if(file_exist($img)) { change name of img.
I expect you could add an 1 to the end or better still, have the user
choose another name?

Re: [PHP] Uploaded File OverWriting Old File
Hmm...
Tried it, and this doesn't sound too good :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_exist()
in d:\apache
group\apache\htdocs\mjimm\mjpals_added.php on line 37
Basically this is what i added in the appropriate
place :
if(file_exist($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = $img1_name+n;
}
And thanks a lot..
Thus Spake T. Edison Jr. !!

Re: [PHP] Uploaded File OverWriting Old File
Glory Power!
I'm using the following code now... the Error is gone,
but it's still overwriting the old file. It's not
changing the name.. not doing anything, just uploading
this new file and replacing the old one..
?php
$db = mysql_connect(localhost,use,pwd);
mysql_select_db(dbname,$db);
if ($img1_name != ) {
$pic = yes;
}
else {
$pic = no;
}
$date = date(l dS of F Y h:i:s A);
// if $img_name isn't empty, try to copy the file
if (($img1_name != ) and ($img1_size = 256000)
and ($img1_type == image/pjpeg) or ($img1_type ==
image/jpeg)) {
if(file_exists($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = n+$img1_name;
}
$sql = INSERT INTO mjpals
(name,age,gender,country,email,date,profile,looking,pic_name,pic)
VALUES
('$name','$age','$gender','$country','$email','$date','$profile','$looking','$img1_name','$pic');
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(You made a
mistake, please go back and try again);
copy($img1, mjpalpics/$img1_name)
or Die (Could not do);
}
elseif (($img1_name == ) and ($img1_size 256000)
and ($img1_type != image/pjpeg) or ($img1_type !=
image/jpeg)) {
$sql = INSERT INTO mjpals
(name,age,gender,country,email,date,profile,looking,pic_name,pic)
VALUES
('$name','$age','$gender','$country','$email','$date','$profile','$looking','','no');
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(You made a
mistake, please go back and try again);
}
?
Thank you for adding you details. The following has
been added to the Database :brbr
big
?php
$profile = stripslashes($profile);
$looking = stripslashes($looking);
echo (
Name : $namebr
Age : $agebr
Gender : $genderbr
Country : $countrybr
Email : $emailbr
Your Profile : $profilebr
You are looking for : $lookingbr
);
if (($img1_size = 256000) and ($img1_type ==
image/pjpeg) or ($img1_type == image/jpeg)) {
echo
Your Photo : iName - $img1_name | Size - $img1_size
| MIME Type - $img1_type/i br
;
}
else {
echo No photograph uploaded, or wrong Type/Size
photograph;
}

Possibly. But one thing that is definitely a problem is:
if(file_exists($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = n+$img1_name;
}
should be:
if(file_exists($img1_name)) {
$img1_name = n . $img1_name;
}

In the long run, I think the best plan is to name your files after the
unique database ID.
Store the names ('room.jpg') in the database.
If you expect getting more than a thousand files or so, split them into
directories. If you use a numeric key, just take the last digit or two and
use that for the directory (for instance, '4745' would go in '5/4745').
Then write a simple readfile script to process downloads (see today's
thread about protecting downloads).
You can look in the database and construct URLs like:
img src=image.php/4745/room.jpg
and your download script can look at the number to figure out which
directory it's in, and look at the file name to figure out the mime type
to send. The browser's happy because it thinks it's getting a file called
room.jpg no matter how many of them you have, the server is happy because
the files are spread nicely across a few directories, you're happy because
you got your work done, and I'm happy because you sent me a British
Airways gift certificate out in gratitude.

WOOO.. i did not know this was possible :

And this might actually solve the whole issue!! Let me
try this..

You gave me a lot to think about, and a whole lot of
work to do. I definately love your idea and logic, and
yes, it would make everyone happy.
well i guess by the time i figure the coding and
process out, i'll keep in mind to arrange for your

You might find is_file() to be a 'more reliable' indicator because file_exists() works for both directories and files. Thus if for some reason $mg1_name was empty then your statement above would effectively be: file_exists(mjpalpics) which, assuming that your directory always exists, would return true, which may not be what you want.
