  • 0

I have an HTML, PHP – Jquery form. The last input is a file upload. I’d like to have the file name display as a url link so the admin can download the file by clicking the link.

Here is a sample of the file> http://www.bgv.co.za/testspace/abstract.php

Here is the code:

<?php

$subject = "Abstract Submission";
$sasquach = $_FILES['datafile']['name'];

//If the form is submitted

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

//Check to make sure that the first name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['firstname']) == '') {
    $hasError = true;
} else {
    $firstname = trim($_POST['firstname']);
}

//Check to make sure that the last name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['lastname']) == '') {
    $hasError = true;
} else {
    $lastname = trim($_POST['lastname']);
}

//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($_POST['email']) == '')  {
    $hasError = true;
} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
    $hasError = true;
} else {
    $email = trim($_POST['email']);
}

//Check to make sure that the theme has been selected
if(($_POST['theme']) == '') {
    $hasError = true;
} else {
    $theme = ($_POST['theme']);
}

//Check to make sure that the type of abstract has been selected
if(($_POST['type']) == '') {
    $hasError = true;
} else {
    $type = ($_POST['type']);
}

//Сheck that we have a file
if((!empty($_FILES["datafile"])) && ($_FILES['datafile']['error'] == 0)) {
  //Check if the file is JPEG image and it's size is less than 2mb
  $filename = basename($_FILES['datafile']['name']);
  $ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
  if (($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["datafile"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") && 
    ($_FILES["datafile"]["size"] < 2100000)) {
    //Determine the path to which we want to save this file
      $newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload/'.$filename;
      //Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
      if (!file_exists($newname)) {
        //Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
        if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['datafile']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
           $sasquach = "The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
        } else {
           //echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
        }
      } else {
         //echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["datafile"]["name"]." already exists";
      }
  } else {
     //echo "Error: Only .jpg images under 2mb are accepted for upload";
  }
} else {
 //echo "Error: No file uploaded";
}

//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
    $emailTo = 'info@bgv.co.za'; //Put your own email address here
    $body = "First Name: $firstname \n\nLast Name: $lastname \n\nEmail: $email \n\nTheme: $theme \n\nType of Abstract: $type \n\nUpload: $sasquach \n\n";
    $headers = 'From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

    mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
    $emailSent = true;

}
}

    You need to point to the full URL of the file.

    Change the following line:

           $sasquach = "The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
    

    To

           $sasquach = "The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
           $link= 'http://www.yoursite.com/'.$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].'/upload/'.$filename;
    

    And

    $body = "First Name: $firstname \n\nLast Name: $lastname \n\nEmail: $email \n\nTheme: $theme \n\nType of Abstract: $type \n\nUpload: $sasquach \n\n";
    

    To:

    $body = "First Name: $firstname \n\nLast Name: $lastname \n\nEmail: $email \n\nTheme: $theme \n\nType of Abstract: $type \n\nUpload: $sasquach \n\nLink: $link";
    

    You can also detect the url instead of hardcoding it using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and stripping the script name.
