I am using jquery.filedrop.js to create a HTML5 drop box for users. Currently I have it working about 2/3s the way I want it to.
The company does yearly conferences, and I have a file path 'file/path/to/conferencefiles' where I save media (docs, images, vids, etc) based on the YEAR of the conference. I also have additional folders in the conference year folder for the various types of media (I use mimetype and a switch to figure that out).
The problem I'm having is telling the javascript what year to save the files to. For example, suppose there's a folder called '2011' with the audio, video, docs, and images sub folders (this folder and the subfolders were created in a previous step along with a database entry for this particular conference). Based on a database query on the "conferences.php" page which creates a variable for the year of the conference, I need to send that variable into the javascript so that it knows to save files in THAT year.
Here is some example of what I've got:
The conference.php file (the portion that has the drag n drop)
<?php
$qry2 = $dba->fetch_all_array("SELECT conf_year FROM tbl_conferences WHERE id = '$_POST[confid]'");
foreach($qry2 AS $val2) {
$confyear = $val2['conf_year'];
}
echo '<h3>Conference Media</h3>
<p>Note: Only certain types of media is allowed. Forbidden media types will be rejected before submission. Valid media types are:<br /><br />
Documents and Text
<blockquote>doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, txt, rtf</blockquote>
Images
<blockquote>jpg (jpeg), png, gif, tif (tiff)</blockquote>
Audio
<blockquote>mp3</blockquote>
Video
<blockquote>flv (recommended), fla, rma, wmv (NOT recommended), mp4, avi</blockquote>
<p>Also, a file cannot exceed 20 megabytes in size. If you need to upload a larger file, please contact the Webmaster.</p>';
// Drag n Drop Zone
echo '
