I dont see anywhere in your script where the values for the following variables are set:

$mime_boundary
$fileatt_type
$picture_name
$fileatt_name

It wont work if the values are empty.

Its impossible without seeing your form - the link in your 3rd post is dead. The actual files would be much better.

Please try the one on the 7th post...... Or http://www.contiads.co.za/Ezone/Dati...Osign%Up.htm....... But the one on the 7th post is more trustworthy.

Something like this:

$path = '/home/suomedia/public_html/user_images/';  // the path to upload images (must be writable)
$filepath = $path . basename( $_FILES['Picture']['name']) ;
$len = strlen($_FILES['Picture']['name']) - 4;
$extension = substr($_FILES['Picture']['name'],$len);  // get the file extension
$permitted = array('.jpg', '.JPG', '.PNG', '.png', '.GIF', '.gif');  // only alow these file extensions
$success = false;
if (in_array($extension, $permitted)) {
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Picture']['tmp_name'], $filepath)) {
    $success = true;
    $fileatt_type = 'image/' . $extension;
    $picture_name = $_FILES['Picture']['name'];
    $file = fopen( $filepath, 'rb' ); 
    $data = fread( $file, filesize( $filepath ) ); 
    fclose( $file );
    $data = chunk_split( base64_encode( $data ) );
    $rand = md5( time() );  
    $mime_boundary = '==Multipart_Boundary_x{$rand}x';        
  } else {
    $success = false;
  }
} else {
  $success = false;
}
// Add file attachment to the message 
 $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . 
             "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . 
             " name=\"{$picture_name}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . 
             " filename=\"{$picture_name}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
             $data . "\n\n" . 
             "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

$path must be a path on your server to a writable directory.

You also need to sanitize all user input from your form and decide what to do if $success = false.

Thanks alot

i got a couple of questions i would like to ask like:

1.what you meant by sanitize my input?

2.can i just put the code the way it is but change the path with the rest of the php?

3. Can i change the path and direct it to an email address and do i go about doing so ( an example would help )

4.if i have a number of uploaders in a form ( three maybe ) do i need to put the code three times.

Hope its not a problem with me asking alot of questions in order to understand a pit more?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$path must be set to a file system path on your server where you want the images uploaded. The directory must have 777 permissions (writeable).

You should also try to follow the coding conventions in the above code, particularly when $variables are used within text content. You should also be aware that variables are case sensitive (including $_POST variables). It is good practice to keep all of these lower case (I have not corrected yours other than where you had upper case in one place and lower case elsewhere (please check your other file also). Put your correct email address above where I have left a comment.

Sanitizing user input means stripping the posted data from anything that may be malicious, eg. you email is sent in HTML format - I could quite easily post a malicious script to you that would execute when you open the email. Search Google for input filtering.

Yes, you need to add the file handling each time you add an attachment.

Na its all good, you also probably have a personal life you need to attend to.

I would like ask something, how do you go about sanitizing.... I'm not familiar with it ?!

Regards

You can use mysql_real_escape_string for the user input or addslashes.

How do i link the attachment script with the up loader on the form....... Where i place the uploader name on the script ?

Suomedia 5 Junior Poster · Answer 20 · 2008-03-27T22:19:08+00:00

You should use the entire code I posted in my last post as datingavenue.php (replace the file). In your form you already have:

<form method="POST" action="datingavenue.php"

That is all that is needed. You already have the variable "Picture" in your form and you can see it in my code as:

$_FILES['Picture']['name']

Please make adjustment to your new datingavenue.php where I indicated above (you must have the correct file system path to your images upload directory and its permissions need to be set to 777 - writable).

Indent your code, find an unclosed brace { and close it.

Vity 0 Light Poster · Answer 23 · 2008-04-01T04:26:48+00:00

Okay. Which means i cancel the ?> at the end because thats what gives the error even when i copy the script you ultered for me ( thanks again for that ). Will the script still function if i don't end with ?>

Vity 0 Light Poster · Answer 24 · 2008-04-01T22:53:18+00:00

I closed all the brackets but still have the same problem ( it says unexpected end once again ) what could be the problem. PLEASE HELP

Please use the attachment option (the paper clip) and attach a zip of your files to your next post.

hey there. i have attached the files in a zip folder called php files. Hope you can pick up my mistakes

This attachment is potentially unsafe to open. It may be an executable that is capable of making changes to your file system, or it may require specific software to open. Use caution and only open this attachment if you are comfortable working with zip files.

In each of the files that have the error (3 in the attachment) add a closing curly bracket } before the very last ?> in each file.

With your $path variable, it MUST be a full file system path, eg. /home/suomedia/public_html/upload/ or use:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/'

Also, you are far better to use a PHP redirect than javascript:

<?php
header("location: success.htm");
?>

The full file system is the way the folders are structured in the site ?
