I have a php form that allows users to upload an image to my server. On Submit, this form reloads the page and displays all uploaded images in the upload folder.
I have a second form on the page that I want to place the name of the uploaded file into. What is the best way to do this? I would rather not use a session solution because I think that requires cookies. Is there a way to read the file name in the variable the_file into a persistant variable before the page reloads. Or, when the page reloads and displays all of the images in the uploads folder, can I assign the last element returned to a field in the second form? Would this be reliable, what if 2 people submitted images at the same time?
Here is the function that creates the input form to upload the file:
function form($error=false)
{
print "
";
global $PHP_SELF,$my_max_file_size;
if ($error) print $error . "
";
print "\n";
print '
';
And here is the function that displays the files after a file is uploaded:
function list_files() {
global $the_path;
$handle = dir($the_path);
print "\nUploaded Pictures waiting to be placed online: ";
while ($file = $handle->read()) {
if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) {
print "\n" . $file . " ";
}
}
print "";
}
Or, can I display verification that the file uploaded without reloading the page(in other words, without submitting to self) and then assign the variable the_file to a field in the second form? Thank you for any help.
