Need help writing/echoing file size to document.

Question

Hello, I have tried my best in achieving this, and for some reason, it's not working.

What I am trying to do, is to write to file and echo on screen, a converted version of how many bytes/megabytes etc. a file has been uploaded, and echoed on screen upon success, instead of the standard e.g. 101355 bytes.

Here is my present code, and any help would be appreciated, thank you.

<?php

require('security.php');

//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name


// DATE STAMP FUNCTION start
$today = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("y"));
// DATE STAMP FUNCTION end


$path1= "../folder_upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);

echo "File Name: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "<P>";


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Use this code to display the error or success.


$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];

if($filesize1 != 1)
{
echo "<br><b>All files have been successfully uploaded.</b>";

// filesize test

function formatBytes($b,$p = null) {
    /**
     *
     * returns formatted number of bytes.
     * two parameters: the bytes and the precision (optional).
     * if no precision is set, function will determine clean
     * result automatically.
     *
     **/
    $units = array("B","kB","MB","GB","TB","PB","EB","ZB","YB");
    $c=0;
    if(!$p && $p !== 0) {
        foreach($units as $k => $u) {
            if(($b / pow(1024,$k)) >= 1) {
                $r["bytes"] = $b / pow(1024,$k);
                $r["units"] = $u;
                $c++;
            }
        }
        return number_format($r["bytes"],2) . " " . $r["units"];
    } else {
        return number_format($b / pow(1024,$p)) . " " . $units[$p];
    }
}

echo "\n";
echo formatBytes($filesize2);   //returns in MB
echo "\n";
echo formatBytes($filesize2,0); //returns in B
echo "\n";
echo formatBytes($filesize2,1); //returns in kB


// filesize test



// start writing to file


$lines = file('uploaded.txt');
$fopen = fopen("uploaded.txt", "w+");

fwrite($fopen, ("<P align=\"justify\" class=\"para\"><b>")."");
fwrite($fopen, $_POST["date1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("<br>")."");
fwrite($fopen, $_POST["header1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("</b><br>")."");
fwrite($fopen, $_POST["description1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("<br><br>")."");

//GOOD ONE
fwrite($fopen, ("<a href=\"$path1\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"/img/icon1.gif\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"absmiddle\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">")."");

fwrite($fopen, ("Posted file</a> - Document size: $filesize2 in bytes/kb/or megabytes etc")."\r\n");

//date stamp
fwrite($fopen, "\n- Posted on ".date("D m/d/Y", $today)."");

fwrite($fopen, (" (Automatically generated)")."");

// Horizontal line
fwrite($fopen, ("<HR style=\"border: 1px dotted #C0C0C0\" color=\"#263E72\" align=\"justify\">")."");

// 1 empty line below <HR>
fwrite($fopen, ("<br>")."");

foreach ($lines as $line) { fwrite( $fopen, "$line"); }

// find and replace function start

echo "\nSuccess writing to file.";

fclose($fopen);

// end writing to file

// find and replace function start
// open file to find \ and other weird characters

include 'find_and_replace.php' ;

}

else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

I'm a bit confused as to what you're going with a file array. You only seem to be dealing with one (item 0).

require('security.php');

function formatBytes($b,$p = null) {
    $units = array("B","kB","MB","GB","TB","PB","EB","ZB","YB");
    $c=0;
    if(!$p && $p !== 0) {
        foreach($units as $k => $u) {
            if(($b / pow(1024,$k)) >= 1) {
                $r["bytes"] = $b / pow(1024,$k);
                $r["units"] = $u;
                $c++;
            }
        }
        return number_format($r["bytes"],2) . " " . $r["units"];
    } else {
        return number_format($b / pow(1024,$p)) . " " . $units[$p];
    }
}

$path1= "../folder_upload/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
 
copy($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);
 
echo "File Name: ".$_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<br/>";
echo "File Size: ".$_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<br/>";
echo "File Type: ".$_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<br/>";
echo "<br />";

//THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME 
$filesize1=$_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$filesize2=$_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];
 
if($filesize1 != 1)
{
	echo "<br><b>All files have been successfully uploaded.</b>";
	echo "\n";
	echo formatBytes($filesize2);   //returns in MB
	echo "\n";
	echo formatBytes($filesize2,0); //returns in B
	echo "\n";
	echo formatBytes($filesize2,1); //returns in kB
	$lines = file_get_contents('uploaded.txt');
	$add= "<p align=\"justify\" class=\"para\"><b> {$_POST['date1']}<br />{$_POST['header1']}</b><br />{$_POST['description1']}<br /><br /><a href=\"$path1\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"/img/icon1.gif\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"absmiddle\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">Posted file</a> - Document size: $filesize2 in bytes/kb/or megabytes etc\r\n\n- Posted on ". date("D m/d/Y") . " (Automatically generated) <HR style=\"border: 1px dotted #C0C0C0\" color=\"#263E72\" align=\"justify\">
	<br />" . $lines;
	file_put_contents('uploaded.txt'); 
	echo "\nSuccess writing to file.";
	include 'find_and_replace.php' ;
} else {
	echo "ERROR.....";
}

I have no idea if that will work. But using $_FILES instead of $HTTP_POST_FILES. file_get_contents and file_put_contents looks easier than a million fwrites. You're using raw input into the file - perhaps you should consider sanitizing them. Also the use of copy - what about move_uploaded_file?

Hi Ardav, the script you rewrote did not work, unfortunately.

No I didn't really expect it to. There are a number of issues, a couple of which I pointed out in my post. This 'stripped down version' though is the same as the first isn't it, just without the function?

Look at: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php

Your usage is deprecated.

Also you haven't answered the question wrt arrays, e.g. $HTTP_POST_FILES[0] - why the [0]? Are you uploading more than one file at a time?

Why aren't you using move_upload_file()?

Hi Ardav, the script you rewrote did not work, unfortunately.

Here is a stripped down version of my original script. I included a comment in the multiple //////////// slashes.

<?php

require('security.php');

// DATE STAMP FUNCTION start
$today = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("y"));
// DATE STAMP FUNCTION end

$path1= "../uploaded/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];

copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][0], $path1);

echo "File Name: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Size: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0]."<BR/>";
echo "File Type: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'][0]."<BR/>";

echo "<P>";

$filesize1=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'][0];
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'][0];


if($filesize1 != 1)
{
echo "<br><b>All files have been successfully uploaded.</b>";

// start writing to file

$lines = file('uploaded.txt');
$fopen = fopen("uploaded.txt", "w+");

fwrite($fopen, ("<P align=\"justify\" class=\"para\"><b>")."");
fwrite($fopen, $_POST["date1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("<br>")."");
fwrite($fopen, $_POST["header1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("</b><br>")."");

fwrite($fopen, $_POST["description1"]."");
fwrite($fopen, ("<br><br>")."");

fwrite($fopen, ("<a href=\"$path1\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"/img/icon.gif\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"absmiddle\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">")."");

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

fwrite($fopen, ("Read this document</a> - Document size: $filesize2 bytes")."\r\n");

//date stamp
fwrite($fopen, "\n- Posted on ".date("D m/d/Y", $today)."");

fwrite($fopen, (" (Automatically generated)")."");

// Horizontal line
fwrite($fopen, ("<HR style=\"border: 1px dotted #C0C0C0\" color=\"#263E72\" align=\"justify\">")."");

// 1 empty line below <HR>
fwrite($fopen, ("<br>")."");

foreach ($lines as $line) { fwrite( $fopen, "$line"); }

// Success message

echo "\nSuccess writing to file.";

fclose($fopen);

// end writing to file

// find and replace function start
// open file to find \ and other weird characters

include 'find.php' ;

// find and replace function end

}

else {
echo "ERROR.....";
}

?>

Yes Ardav, very similar. I found many functions to reformat document sizes and figured I would basically drop it at the beginning of the code with some modification, but did not work. One that I found which looked like the one I liked was:

    function formatSize( $bytes )
    {
            $types = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB' );
            for( $i = 0; $bytes >= 1024 && $i < ( count( $types ) -1 ); $bytes /= 1024, $i++ );
                    return( round( $bytes, 2 ) . " " . $types[$i] );
    }

    // now call the formatSize function and pass it a number as bytes

    echo formatSize(8763432); // will echo 8.35 MB
    echo formatSize(258); // will echo 258 B
    echo formatSize( filesize('/path/to/some/file'); // will echo out the file size of that file

---------------------
I figured I could replace "formatSize" with "filesize2" and that would've (I hoped) written the reformatted file size to file.

I posted the same message on another forum and someone told me to use / 1024. That worked with the following code:

$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES[0] / 1024; // works but with many decimal numbers

but when I tried to reduce the amount of decimals with:
$filesize2=$HTTP_POST_FILES[0] / 1024, 2; // Returns an error

I get an error

fredfletcher 0 Light Poster · Answer 4 · 2012-02-19T05:49:17+00:00

I am using an uploading script that will allow for more than 1 file, if it is needed later on, that is why it's in an array. However, I am open to a single file version.

fredfletcher 0 Light Poster · Answer 5 · 2012-02-19T05:51:28+00:00

I am using copy instead of move_upload_file() because the server's giving me an error and is using PHP4 instead of 5. I hate to think of the fact that, if and when they do upgrade to PHP5, my script will no longer work the way it is now.

diafol · Answer 6 · 2012-02-19T05:57:09+00:00

OK, I don't do PHP4 anymore. Perhaps you should get a better host and update your script. Sorry, good luck.

fredfletcher 0 Light Poster · Answer 7 · 2012-02-19T05:59:47+00:00

Believe me, if it were up to me, I would definitely move them to a better hosting service. Thanks again, very much appreciated :)

fredfletcher 0 Light Poster · Answer 8 · 2012-02-19T12:03:25+00:00

@Ardav...
UPDATE: I figured it out by using the following code:

if( $filesize2 < 1024 )
		$filesize2 = round(($filesize2 / 1024),0) . ' Bytes';

	elseif( $filesize2 >= 1024 && $filesize2 < 104857 )
		$filesize2 = round(($filesize2),0) . ' Bytes';

	elseif( $filesize2 >= 104857 && $filesize2 < 1048576 )
		$filesize2 = round(($filesize2 / 1024),2) . ' KB';

	elseif( $filesize2 >= 1048576 )
		$filesize2 = round(($filesize2 / 1048576),2) . ' MB';
