In this code to upload multiple images to a different folder each time, it creates a new folder and moves files to it, but the validation part is not working ! if i remove the validation part the files are uploaded correctly!!
I have mentioned using comments that in which area the problem i think is coming!
If someone can then please help!
the error is:
Warning: strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\xampp\htdocs\upload-file.php on line 66
Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\upload-file.php on line 66
here’s the code:
[php]
<?php
$contact_name = $_POST['contact_name'];
$id=rand(1,9999999); //this will give us a random value to create a unique directory
if(!is_dir("uploads/".$id)){ //this checks to make sure the directory does not already exist
mkdir("uploads/".$id.$contact_name, 0777, true); //if the directory doesn't exist then make it
chmod("uploads/".$id, 0777); //chmod to 777 lets us write to the directory
}
$uploaddir='uploads/' . $id.$contact_name.'/'; //lets put the directory into a variable notice added slash on end
foreach($_FILES["uploads"]["name"] as $bla=> $boo){ //we have to do a loop to get all the filenames
$file=$uploaddir.$boo; //we will check the filename in the upload directory, see if it exists
if (file_exists($file)) { //if it exists then ......
die("Filename already exists, please rename this file"); //if filename exists in the directory then we die!!! :P
}
}
foreach ($_FILES["uploads"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
echo"$error_codes[$error]"; // let you know if there was an error on any uploads
move_uploaded_file( //php function to move the file
$_FILES["uploads"]["tmp_name"][$key], //from the temporary directory
$uploaddir. $_FILES["uploads"]["name"][$key] //to the directory you chose
) or die("Problems with upload");
}
}
/* THE PROBLEM IS IN HERE SOMEWHERE BECAUSE WHEN I REMOVE THIS PART, THE SCRIPT RUNS SUCCESSFULLY */
$allowedExtensions = array("jpg","jpeg","gif","png");
foreach ($_FILES as $file) {
if ($file['tmp_name'] > '') {
if (!in_array(end(explode(".",
strtolower($file['name']))),
$allowedExtensions)) {
die($file['name'].' is an invalid file type!
