Upload multiple files using FTP

Hi,

I know this has been covered a lot in these forums, but I just can't seem to crack this one.

I have got a very simple FTP interface written on my website, working very nicely, but I am now trying to add multiple file upload. I don't to upload directories, just say 5 files at a time.

Anyway, I have some code for deleting multiple files, which works, but I can't seem to get it to work with uploads. Any pointers appreciated.

First snip: multiple delete:

PHP Code:


		
			
elseif ($_POST['action'] == "Delete"):

ftp_chdir($result, $_POST['cdir']);

// loop through selected files and delete

for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($_POST['dfile']); $x++):

$res_code = @ftp_delete($result, $_POST['cdir'] . "/" . $_POST['dfile'][$x]);

endfor;

// check status and display

if ($res_code == 1):

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Deletion successful!</span>";

else:

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Deletion error!</span>";

endif;

Then the original upload file script:

PHP Code:


		
			
elseif ($_POST['action'] == "Upload"):

ftp_chdir($result, $_POST['cdir']);

$res_code = @ftp_put($result, $_FILES['upfile']['name'], $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'], FTP_BINARY);

// check status and display

if ($res_code == 1):

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload successful!</span>";

else:

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload error!</span>";

endif;

endif;

Then essentially the same script, but trying to upload mulitple files:

PHP Code:


		
			
elseif ($_POST['action'] == "Upload"):

ftp_chdir($result, $_POST['cdir']);

for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($_POST['upfile']); $x++):

$res_code = ftp_put($result, $_FILES['upfile']['name'][$x], $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'][$x], FTP_BINARY);

endfor;

// check status and display

if ($res_code == 1):

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload successful!</span>";

else:

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload error!</span>";

endif;

endif;

Even without the @, it still only prints Upload error!
Thanks
Jamie

Talking to myself again

I have partially solved this:

PHP Code:


		
			
for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($_FILES['upfile']); $x++):

$res_code = @ftp_put($result, $_FILES['upfile']['name'][$x], $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'][$x], FTP_BINARY);

endfor;



// check status and display



if ($res_code == 1):

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload successful!</span>";

else:

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload error!</span>";

endif;



endif;

Mulitple files are uploaded, but I get upload error message - any ideas

And again

The error is only happening if not every upfile[] is used, for example 3 images instead of 5.

Just fixed that problem too as I was trying, though this is probably incorrect ! Upload code for those interested:

PHP Code:


		
			
// action: upload file



elseif ($_POST['action'] == "Upload"):

ftp_chdir($result, $_POST['cdir']);



for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($_FILES['upfile']); $x++):

$res_code .= @ftp_put($result, $_FILES['upfile']['name'][$x], $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'][$x], FTP_BINARY);

endfor;



// check status and display



if ($res_code > 0):

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload successful!</span>";

else:

$status = "<span class=\"red\">Upload error!</span>";

endif;



endif;

I think I will go and carry on my conversation with myself somewhere else now
