Small job - when user uploads file, tell me which user uploaded it

[Josh]

Hi,

It's only a small job, or atleast I think it is. But i'm just not having any luck with it.

I have an upload script where to get the upload page the user must be logged in. I have the login/logout/register all in place so all my databases are setup, so when the user logs in a session is set - ['username']

What I want to happen is when the user uploads a video file to me, it tells me which username has uploaded the file.

The php code is below:

PHP Code:

<?php
session_start();
   // Configuration - Your Options
      $allowed_filetypes = array('.avi','.mpg','.flv','.swf','.zip','.wmv','.mp4','.vob','.3g2','3gp','.rm'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
      $max_filesize = 12024288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 12MB).
      $upload_path = '../../onlinestage.co.uk/uploads/'; // The place the files will be uploaded to (currently a 'files' directory).
 
   $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
   $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.
 
 
   // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.
   if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
      die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');
 
   // Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user.
   if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
      die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');
 
   // Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.
   if(!is_writable($upload_path))
      die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');
 
   // Upload the file to your specified path.
   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename))
 
         echo 'Your file upload was successful, view the file <a href="' . $upload_path . $filename . '" title="Your File">here</a>'; // It worked.
      else
         echo 'There was an error during the file upload.  Please try again.'; // It failed :(.
 
?>

and this is the form code.

<form action="/includes/uploader.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <p align="center"> <label for="file">Select a file please:</label> <input type="file" name="userfile" id="file"> <br /> <button>Upload File</button> <p align="center"></form>
 

I am willing to pay somebody to alter this code for me for a small price as I know it's just a case of a few bits of code that I don't know where to place or what code is needed.
I need to know the username that has uploaded the file, and where abouts would I find out which username has uploaded it?
Please tell me how much you would like to get this done.

Thanks,

Josh

just substitute tjis line $newname= "newname". $ext;
with $newname= $_SESSION['username']". $ext;
depending on how its set, this works , tested

// Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.
   if(!is_writable($upload_path))
      die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');
     
 $newname= "newname". $ext; //

   // Upload the file to your specified path.
   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $newname))
 
         echo 'Your file upload was successful, view the file <a href="' . $upload_path . $newname . '" title="Your File">here</a>'; // It worked.
      else
         echo 'There was an error during the file upload.  Please try again.'; // It failed :(.

sorry, forget that. just looked, il try it and post back to you,

sorry Ed.

Josh

[Josh]

YESSSSSS! that works Ed, thank you very much.

did have a problem but I think it's ok now.

when I click in my uploads file the file is renamed to the username that uploaded it. If the same username uploads another file, will a different file with the same username be uploaded? i.e. i dont just want it to replace the old one, I want it to upload every file a username uploads.

thanks again Ed

[Josh]

Hmmm, it does, the file over writes itself. how would I enable multiple files to be uploaded with the same username?

thanks,

Josh

EDIT

i've done it, i added $filename to the extension list, so now it adds the name of the file onto it too.

thanks Ed, uv been a great help!
