PHP JQuery: Where to specify uploadify destination folder
- by Eamonn
I have an uploadify script running, basic setup. Works fine when I hard code the destination folder for the images into uploadify.php - now I want to make that folder dynamic. How do I do this?
I have a PHP variable $uploadify_path which contains the path to the folder I want. I have switched out my hard coded $targetPath = path/to/directory for $targetPath = $uploadify_path in both uploadify.php and check_exists.php, but it does not work. The file upload animation runs, says it is complete, yet the directory remains empty. The file is not hiding out somewhere else either.
I see there is an option in the Javascript to specify a folder. I tried this also, but to no avail.
If anyone could educate me on how to pass this variable destination to uploadify, I'd be very grateful.
I include my current code for checking (basically default):
The Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#file_upload').uploadify({
'swf' : 'uploadify/uploadify.swf',
'uploader' : 'uploadify/uploadify.php',
// Put your options here
});
});
</script>
uploadify.php
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $uploadify_path; // Relative to the root
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetFile = $targetPath . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo '1';
} else {
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}
