This upload feature was also used along with PHP in 23hq new photo upload feature.

Hi,


The following code should help you settle the issue if you are using PHP for the file uploaddownload in Flash.

<?

//  create a unique identifier based on the current time in microseconds
$uniqid = uniqid();      

// get the File Name which is going to upload from previous page
$fileName = basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );    

// set the path of the upload directory and appened the uniqid to the actual file as prefix , so file name can't be same and overlapped
$uploadFile = "userUploads/".$uniqid.$fileName;

// upload the selected file to the predefined path from temp
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadFile ); 
       
?>

mo too!i keep getting error 405.please help me!!!

Hi,
First. My english is basic. (sorry). but one Big intencion in help us.

I don´t use ColdFusion, i like PHP. i get in the internet the following sources (uploadFile.php and viewFiles.php)
I get too, the source/demo. When i have tested, is showed the error 405.
Solution is basic: Configure the index.html
            flashObj.addVariable ("uploadUrl", "uploadFile.php");
            flashObj.addVariable ("downloadListUrl", "viewFiles.php");

Source uploadFile.php:
$dir = 'userUploads';
$uploadfile = "$dir/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );

if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] , $uploadfile ) ) {
    $uploadfile = "$dir/" . basename( $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] );
    echo( '1 a ' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
}else {
    echo( '0');
}

source viewFiles.php:
<?php
    header("Expires: mon, 06 jan 1990 00:00:01 gmt");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
?><files>
<?php
$imageFolder = 'userUploads/';
if ($handle = opendir($imageFolder)) {

    $echo = "";
   /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       $echo .= ($file!="." && $file!="..") ? "\t".'<f name="'.$file.'" size="'.filesize($imageFolder.$file).'" path="'.$imageFolder.$file.'" />'."\n" : "";
   }
    echo $echo;
   closedir($handle);
}


?>
</files>

FIXED:

To pass URL parameters through the UploadDownload tool, just create  more flashObj.addVariable() entries, then append them to the uploadURL in the Uploadownload.as file.  This will overcome the behaviour of flash whereby it coverts the query string variables to flash variables.  E.g:

        <!--
            var flashObj = new FlashObject ("includes/uploadDownload.swf", "uploadDownload", "550", "400", 8, "#FFFFFF", true);
            flashObj.addVariable ("downloadListUrl", "<?=$sitename?>clients/includes/listDir.php");
            flashObj.addVariable ("PHPSessID", "<? echo session_id(); ?>");
            flashObj.addVariable ("JID", "<?=$attributes["jid"]?>");                       
            flashObj.addVariable ("maxFileSize", "50000"); // in kb
            flashObj.write ("flashcontent");
        // -->

Not, uploadURL is NOT defined.

IN uploadDownload.as, find:

    // to be provided via flashvars
    if (uploadUrl == null)
    {

        SessionID = PHPSessID;
        JobID = JID;
       
        uploadUrl = "http://www.yoursite.com/clients/?PHPSESSID="+SessionID+"&method=saveImages&jid="+JobID;
    };

Hope this helps, I'm probably not making this clear, but thought I'd offer what I learned.

Anyone know of a way to use ASP as the upload script ?

Got it working with PHP and CFM, but I need to use ASP.
Thanks guys!!

Me too. Uploaded the bin folder, made userUploads writable, upload seems to work - but no files are uploaded.

I'm attempting to add a "Cancel" button to interupt uploads.  I'm no Flash guru, and I'm having difficulties.  Brajeshwar, are you able to implement a cancel feature, or advise me on where to start?

Many thanks for an excellent tool!

> I'm attempting to add a "Cancel" button to interupt uploads.

There is a fileReference.cancel method in the flash player to cancel ongoing upload/download operation.
Usage is simple, myFileReference.cancel () typically triggered with the cancel button in your code.

Hi Chris,  sorry for the tardy reply, for some reason I didn't get an alert from this forum.

This code spits out a formated XML file for the flash utility.  Hope it helps.

My listDir.php is:

<?
function dirList ($directory)
{

    // create an array to hold directory list
    $results = array();

    // create a handler for the directory
    $handler = opendir($directory);

    // keep going until all files in directory have been read
    while ($file = readdir($handler)) {

        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
        // add it to the results array
        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
            $results[] = $file;
    }

    // tidy up: close the handler
    closedir($handler);

    // done!
    return $results;

}
        $list = dirList("/path/to/image/folder");
       
?>
<files>

<?       
        rsort($list);
        while ($i = array_pop($list)){
            ?>
            <f name="<?= $i?>" size="<?= filesize("/path/to/image/folder".$i)?>" path="" />
            <?
        }
       
?>
</files>
