Renaming File

Reply Quote

I want to rename my files as they upload to remove any spaces from the file name and replace them with underscores ( _ ).

Thanks,

Jesse

Jesse,

Please check the following article:

http://phpfileuploader.com/document/index.htm#page=Choose-upload-method.htm

Custom file upload handler

If you need further control over the parsing of the file uploading request, you can write a custom file upload handler. In handler page (UploadUrl) developers can rename the uploaded files, process other logics programmatically.

Adam,

I tried to use the following code from option 2.

$filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $mvcfile->FileName);
$mvcfile->CopyTo($uploadpath.$filename);

But Im getting this error Call to a member function CopyTo() on a non-object.

Please try the following code:

<?php require_once "phpuploader/include_phpuploader.php" ?>
<?php session_start(); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo 1 - use SaveDirectory property</title>
</head>
<body>
        <form id="form1" method="POST">
            <?php
                $uploader=new PhpUploader();
                $uploader->Name="myuploader";
                $uploader->Render();
            ?>
        </form>
<?php
//Gets the GUID of the file based on uploader name
$fileguid=@$_POST["myuploader"];
if($fileguid)
{
    //get the uploaded file based on GUID
    $mvcfile=$uploader->GetUploadedFile($fileguid);
    if($mvcfile)
    {
        //Gets the name of the file.
        echo($mvcfile->FileName);
        //Gets the temp file path.
        echo($mvcfile->FilePath);
        //Gets the size of the file.
        echo($mvcfile->FileSize);
        //echo "eric1".$mvcfile->FileName."eric2";
        $filename = str_replace('_', '', $mvcfile->FileName);
        //echo "eric3".$filename;
        $targetfilepath= "savefiles/myprefix_" . $filename;
    if( is_file ($targetfilepath) )
        unlink($targetfilepath);
        $mvcfile->CopyTo( $targetfilepath );
        //Moves the uploaded file to a new location.
        //$mvcfile->MoveTo("/uploads");
        //Deletes this instance.
        $mvcfile->Delete();
    }
}
?>
</body>
</html>

This is the current block of code I am using to store the file in the Absolute File Path of $uploadpath:

$uploader=new PhpUploader();
$uploader->Name="myuploader";
$uploader->SaveDirectory = $uploadpath;
$uploader->InsertText="Select MP3 to Upload";
$uploader->AllowedFileExtensions="*.mp3";
$uploader->ManualStartUpload=true;
$uploader->Render();

I have changed it to (per the code above by Eric):

$uploader=new PhpUploader();
$uploader->Name="myuploader";
$uploader->InsertText="Select MP3 to Upload";
$uploader->AllowedFileExtensions="*.mp3";
$uploader->ManualStartUpload=true;
$uploader->Render();

//Gets the GUID of the file based on uploader name
$fileguid=@$_POST["myuploader"];
if($fileguid) {
   //get the uploaded file based on GUID
$mvcfile=$uploader->GetUploadedFile($fileguid);
if($mvcfile) {
    //Gets the name of the file.
    echo($mvcfile->FileName);
    //Gets the temp file path.
    echo($mvcfile->FilePath);
    //Gets the size of the file.
    echo($mvcfile->FileSize);
    //echo "eric1".$mvcfile->FileName."eric2";
    $filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $mvcfile->FileName);
    //echo "eric3".$filename;
    $targetfilepath = $uploadpath . $filename;
    if( is_file ($targetfilepath) )
      unlink($targetfilepath);
    $mvcfile->CopyTo( $targetfilepath );
    //Moves the uploaded file to a new location.
    //$mvcfile->MoveTo("/uploads");
    //Deletes this instance.
    $mvcfile->Delete();
}
}

The file is not going to the specified location of CopyTo. I dont think its leaving the temp location. And the only output Im getting now is the temp location and not the filesize, filename, and file location information I was getting before when the upload was complete.

Thanks for all of the support,

Jesse

You are using multiple files upload, please try the following code:

<?php require_once "phpuploader/include_phpuploader.php" ?>
<?php session_start(); ?>
<html>
<body>
<form id="form1" method="POST"><?php
$uploader=new PhpUploader();
$uploader->Name="myuploader";
$uploader->MultipleFilesUpload=true;
$uploader->Render();
?>
</form>
<?php
$fileguidlist=@$_POST["myuploader"];
if($fileguidlist)
{
$guidlist=explode("/",$fileguidlist);
echo("<div style='font-family:Fixedsys;'>");
echo("Uploaded ");
echo(count($guidlist));
echo(" files:");
echo("</div>");
echo("<hr/>");
foreach($guidlist as $fileguid)
{
  $mvcfile=$uploader->GetUploadedFile($fileguid);
  if($mvcfile)
  {
   echo("<div style='font-family:Fixedsys;border-bottom:dashed 1px gray;padding:6px;'>");
   echo("FileName: ");
   echo($mvcfile->FileName);
   echo("<br/>FileSize: ");
   echo($mvcfile->FileSize." b");
   //  echo("<br/>FilePath: ");
   //  echo($mvcfile->FilePath);
   echo("</div>");
   $filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $mvcfile->FileName);
   echo "eric1";
   $uploadpath="z:/temp/";   //please replace path to your actual path
   $targetfilepath = $uploadpath . $filename;
   if( is_file ($targetfilepath) )
   unlink($targetfilepath);
   $mvcfile->CopyTo( $targetfilepath );
   $mvcfile->Delete();
  }
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
