Php file upload

Jan 8th, 2009

Hi I am new to php,
I had a form in my page to upload image and some data. And that image filed is not mandatory. I had done that script well and working well. But the problem is it always need a image ( that is not mandatory in my case ). The following is the code with me.. Kindly let me know which change i need to do for making that file field is not mandatory ...

Re: Php file upload

Jan 9th, 2009

What i would first attempt to do is to check whether the field 'file' has anything after being posted, if it is set to something (hopefully a filename) then we can proceed to call the other image processing stuff.
Otherwise we omit the image processing code.

i.e.

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
//put the isset(...) stuff here
 
if ($_FILES['file']['name'] != '') {    //can check for other things
 
// check for standard uploading errors
($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] == 0)
	or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]['error']], $uploadForm);
 
// check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
	or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm);
 
// validation... since this is an image upload script we 
// should run a check to make sure the upload is an image
@getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
	or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm);
 
// make a unique filename for the uploaded file and check it is 
// not taken... if it is keep trying until we find a vacant one
$md5 = md5(microtime() * mktime());
 
 
$string = substr($md5,0,5);
 
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$string.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name']))
{
	$string++;
}
$name = $string.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name'];
 
 
// now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
	or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);
 
rename("shopping/" . $name, "shopping/" .$type."-".$name);
 
}
//put that function error function here
//----------------
//put the isset(...) stuff here

if ($_FILES['file']['name'] != '') {    //can check for other things

// check for standard uploading errors
($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] == 0)
	or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]['error']], $uploadForm);
	
// check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
	or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm);
	
// validation... since this is an image upload script we

	or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm);
	
// make a unique filename for the uploaded file and check it is

$md5 = md5(microtime() * mktime());


$string = substr($md5,0,5);

while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$string.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name']))
{
	$string++;
}
$name = $string.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name'];


// now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
	or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);
	
rename("shopping/" . $name, "shopping/" .$type."-".$name);

}
//put that function error function here
//----------------

I have put the code which i think affects the image into the if clause. All code before and after should remain as before.
