Is there any way to send any varible to ‘upload-file.php’?

Why doesn’t ‘upload-file.php’ get $_GET variables?
Why ;p can’t i contact mysql?

What about people uploading executable files? If I simply name a php file or any file with a .jpg at the end then I can execute it. I have this problem with all the upload scripts on the net.

Security is always on the top of my priority list so I’m wondering how can I stop this from happening. I pretty much just hacked my own site in like 2 seconds with this script and I know nothing about that sort of thing so someone who does could do some serious damage.

Any thoughts on the subject?

Works well. I tried to upload 500 files at one go but go this strange error.
“Sorry. Select fewer Files.”
How can I remove this limit. My requirement is to upload 5000 images one shot and the client needs this badly.
Please help.

Thanks
Jad

Great script. Everything seems to be working well, except: The browser doesn’t see the uploaded files. The files are there on the server in the uploads directory (and I’m able to download them using ftp), but when I click on “view” on the progress bar, or type in the url of the file directly into the browser, I get a 404 error. How weird is that?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kyle

Very nice!
However, javascript and flash are too HUGE dependencies…
“provide an alternative upload”
…hell, might as well not use it if you have to double the amount of work it takes. Unusable candy.

@Mike
in your upload script use the date function to format your timestamp
add the timestamp to the beginning of the file name
save that filename
echo a success string back with your new filename
in your jquery script parse the response to check for error string
if not error, use the serverdata as the new filename
???

I am using this plugin in my own framework and had to pass the PHPSID through the query string to gain access to the session. I suppose this is a cookie issue with flash ? Or is the cookie plugin for swf required ?

I would like to change the file name to represent MMYYDD, once it has been uploaded and moved the the ‘upload’ folder. That way if someone uploads the same file name, it wont overwrite the first file. Can someone please help me accomplish this or point me in the correct direction.
I know its an addition to the php script, just dont know what to add and also where to add it.
I appreciate help on this, thanks

Hey exellent upload script! I’ve just about had enough of trying to force others to work but this works straight outta the box. Awesome!

One thing I’d like to integrate though is email support. I want to get an email when users add a file to the server as well as add their name and email which would come with the email.

Any ideas how I’d do this (Im ok with php but not excellent)

Cheers!
