Upload/Insert to Database: File Extension Question

Thread began 11/13/2018 10:33 am by LWat85283715 | Last modified 12/06/2018 9:57 am by Ray Borduin | 1803 views | 14 replies |

Upload/Insert to Database: File Extension Question

I have a page that inserts a record into the database and uploads a file. When it inserts the file name into the database, it doesn't include the file extension. How do I get the name and file extension to be added? Thanks

What did you use in your insert server behavior bindings? I think if you use "Server File Name", it should include the extension.

I tried multiple ones: Just the file name, extension, etc. None work to get the file name and extension. There is no Server Extension option in the list.

Please attach the file you are working on and I'll take a look to see what you have used as the binding and suggest the appropriate edits.

Your binding should be set to:

php:
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>

So you are meaning this line needs to be changed?

$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("icon", "s", "".((isset($_FILES["icon"]))? preg_replace('/^.*\./', '', $_FILES["icon"]["name"]) :"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");

I'm talking about updating it from the Server Behavior, not in the code.

If that is the column you want the image name saved into and you want to do it in the code, then the line would be:

$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("icon", "s", "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_1"]["serverFileName"]) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");

Works great. If I have two file uploads on a page, would it look like this:

<?php
// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();
// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(
'UploadFolder' => "agreements",
'FileName' => "[FileName]",
'DefaultFileName' => "",
'ResizeType' => "0",
'ResizeWidth' => "0",
'ResizeHeight' => "0",
'ResizeFillColor' => "" );
// WA_UploadResult1_1 End
// WA_UploadResult1 Params End
?>
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["submit_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "file_pdf", "2", "[NewFileName]_[Increment]", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);
}
?>

<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["submit_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "file_doc", "2", "[NewFileName]_[Increment]", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);
}
?>

<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["submit_x"])) {
$UpdateQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($sdpc_i);
$UpdateQuery->Action = "update";
$UpdateQuery->Table = "agreement_types";
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("agreement_name", "s", "".((isset($_POST["agreement_name"]))?$_POST["agreement_name"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("description", "s", "".((isset($_POST["description"]))?$_POST["description"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("category", "s", "".((isset($_POST["category"]))?$_POST["category"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("public", "s", "".((isset($_POST["public"]))?$_POST["public"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("file_pdf", "s", "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_1"]["serverFileName"]) ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("file_doc", "s", "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_1"]["serverFileName"]) ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("addendum", "s", "".((isset($_POST["addendum"]))?$_POST["addendum"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("latest", "s", "".((isset($_POST["latest"]))?$_POST["latest"]:"") ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->addFilter("agreement_typesID", "=", "i", "".($_GET['agreement_typesID']) ."");
$UpdateQuery->execute();
$UpdateGoTo = "manage_state_agreements.php?state=" . $_GET['state'] . "";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $UpdateGoTo = $UpdateGoTo?rel2abs($UpdateGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$UpdateQuery->redirect($UpdateGoTo);
}

It would probably be:

$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("file_pdf", "s", "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_1"]["serverFileName"]) ."", "WA_IGNORE");
$UpdateQuery->bindColumn("file_doc", "s", "".($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult2"]["WA_UploadResult2_1"]["serverFileName"]) ."", "WA_IGNORE");

You can get the correct code from the bindings if you choose the file upload field and the "server file name" value.
