I am new to this PHP coding, but have experience. I am just wondering how to make it check the folder and not make it make duplicates of the file in the MySQL?

<?php

include('mysql.php');

if ($handle = opendir('images')) {

	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
		if($file!='.' && $file!='..') {
			$images[] = "('".$file."')";
		}
	}

	closedir($handle);
}

$query = "INSERT INTO images (filename) VALUES ".implode(',', $images)." ";
if (!mysql_query($query)) {
	print mysql_error();
}
else {
	print "Images posted!";
}


?>

I don't get what you're doing. Do you want to check other folders for duplicate files?

From the way you're doing this, you seem to be adding images to a single field with a ',' delimiter. This isn't the best way to save data. You'd be better off going down a relational path. This means you can search and update more effectively.

How this work is there is a folder called, images, people can upload their photos in it. But it will not be picked up unless I use this script to lets just say reload the database. And everything I use this it duplicates in MySQL.

Example:

Photo > Upload >> Images Folder >>> Run this script >>>> Duplicate current photos in the images folder more than once in the MySQL database.

To add:
If their are 3 photos in the images folder, and I already ran this script before, but i run it again it will created about 3 more duplicates in the MySQL/

When a user uploads, simply have the DB add this filename. No need to make a complete scan every time. Your problem, as I mentioned is your DB structure. It should be something like:

id | filename | date_uploaded | filesize | filetype | user_id | path

[id = PK, filename = actual filename in folder, date_uploaded = timestamp, filesize = size in KB or B, filetype = png/jpg/gif/svg etc, path = any subfolder path where file may be stored]

Can you help me do this please this is my upload class:

<?php

 define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); 

 function getExtension($str) {
         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
 }

 $errors=0;

 if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) 
 {

 	$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];

 	if ($image) 
 	{

 		$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);

  		$extension = getExtension($filename);
 		$extension = strtolower($extension);
 if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif")) 
 		{
 			echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
 			$errors=1;
 		}
 		else
 		{
 $size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);


if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
	echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
	$errors=1;
}


$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;

$newname="images/".$image_name;

$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname); 
if (!$copied) 
{
	echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
	$errors=1;
}}}}


 if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors) 
 {
 	echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully!</h1>";
 }

 ?>

That looks like a good bit of code - I particularly like the change original name to time - as this should avoid overwrites. However, it is *possible* that two users could upload an image at the same time. In this case, you may wish to use microtime() or better still, join the unix timestamp and a random 6 figure number (mt_rand()). This may be overkill, but overwriting a file could spell disaster.

I'd keep the original name for display purposes.

Near the end of your code, I'd have a function call, something like:

echo addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext);

Your function:

function addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext){
//I assume your DB connection vars are placed previously - so just use them here
//sanitize your inputs with mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(...))
//I've placed a 's_' prefix on the variables to denote 'sanitized'
 
 $r = mysql_query("INSERT INTO images SET `origfile` = '$s_origfile',`newfile` = '$s_newfile',`filesize` = '$s_filesize',`ext`='$s_ext',`date_upload`=NOW() + 0");

 //check added correctly with mysql_affected_rows()
 //on the strength of this decide on the output ($output)

 return $output;
}

I did this right, right?

include('mysql.php');
echo addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext);
function addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext){

Looks OK to me. I usually place all my functions at the top after my includes before calling them - just helps me to keep the functions/regular code maintainable. Each to his own though.

include('mysql.php');
//you need to set your variables here - i.e. your original file code

echo addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext);
function addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext){

Something is not right it uploads to the images folder but didn't get set in the database. Did I do something wrong: (Upload Class Code)

<?php
include('mysql.php');
 define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); 

 function getExtension($str) {
         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
 }

 $errors=0;

 if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) 
 {

 	$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];

 	if ($image) 
 	{

 		$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);

  		$extension = getExtension($filename);
 		$extension = strtolower($extension);
 if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif")) 
 		{
 			echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
 			$errors=1;
 		}
 		else
 		{
 $size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);


if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
	echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
	$errors=1;
}

$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;

$newname="images/".$image_name;

$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname); 
if (!$copied) 
{
	echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
	$errors=1;
}}}}


 if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors) 
 {
 	echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully!</h1>";
 }
 echo addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext);
function addImageToDB($origfilename,$newfilename,$filesize,$ext){

 $r = mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (filename) VALUES ` = '$s_origfile',`newfile` = '$s_newfile',`filesize` = '$s_filesize',`ext`='$s_ext',`date_upload`=NOW() + 0");


 return $output;
}

You've no $output to output, but that shouldn't matter.
Your SQL looks a little suspect though. You're trying to place everything into the filename field. This is because you are using the VALUES syntax. I was using the SET syntax. They are not interchangeable.

Sorry I don't have an MSN. My mum told me not to talk to strange men!

Oh....well can you edit my current code and put how it suppose to be please?

Member Avatar for diafol

No - this is your project. I given you help (7 responses so far), so I think that's going far enough. You're almost there:

$r = mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (filename) VALUES ` = '$s_origfile',`newfile` = '$s_newfile',`filesize` = '$s_filesize',`ext`='$s_ext',`date_upload`=NOW() + 0");

This is the bit that's causing you grief. Work on it.
