have process.php name upload &overwrite old 1

[chris h]

hey guys,

this one might be simple but i know very limited php commands.

i want to use the formgen to have my clients upload their header image and replace their existing image, since the process.php names it upon upload i figured i could modify it to name the upload  

companyname.gif  

and overwrite the existing companyname.gif  in the folder
(not sure if the overwrite needs to be added as a php fuction also?)

here is the process.php i am using at the moment

i think all i ahev to do is modify this line: "files/".$image_part);
...but im not sure, figured i'd get some advice before i break something :)

thanks in advance

<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
$Image=$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image'];
if($Image=="" ){
$errors=1;
$error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields. Please go back and try again.";
}
if(!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'])){
$error.="<li>The file, ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['name'].", was not uploaded!";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$image_part = date("h_i_s")."_".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['name'];
$image_list[0] = $image_part;
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'], "files/".$image_part);
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="Image: ".$where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]."
";
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail("$email","Form Submitted at your website",$message,"From: phpFormGenerator");
$make=fopen("admin/data.dat","a");
$to_put="";
$to_put .= $where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]."
";
fwrite($make,$to_put);

header("Refresh: 0;url=$redirect");
?><?php
}
?>

You may want to have some level of backup by keeping the date/time coded filename and make a copy with the name you want. 

Add this line right after the one copying the date/time coded file name. 
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'], "files/".$nameyouwant);

Then change this line
$message="Image: ".$where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]."
";

to

$message="Image: ".$where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]." as ".$nameyouwant."
";

This way you can keep record of the original date/time coded name verses the "nameyouwant".

thanks TNT, you helped me out last time i was on here

i almost got it to work but it just calls the item "gif" instead of "header.gif"

the process.php must be reading the . between the header and gif?

i tried removing the .gif form the script and it stopped creating a new file all together

here is what i got

<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
$Image=$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image'];
if($Image=="" ){
$errors=1;
$error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields. Please go back and try again.";
}
if(!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'])){
$error.="<li>The file, ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['name'].", was not uploaded!";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$image_part = date("h_i_s")."_".$HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['name'];
$image_list[0] = $image_part;
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'], "files/".$image_part);
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['Image']['tmp_name'], "files/".$header.gif);
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="Image: ".$where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]." as ".$header.gif."
";
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail("$email","Form Submitted at your website",$message,"From: phpFormGenerator");
$make=fopen("admin/data.dat","a");
$to_put="";
$to_put .= $where_form_is."files/".$image_list[0]."
";
fwrite($make,$to_put);

header("Refresh: 0;url=$redirect");
?><?php
}
?>

thanks

1.) $header is never defined so it will always return blank.
