Installing An Image Uploader To My Site Im having trouble setting it up.

caronthegerman · August 15, 2010

Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble setting up a file uploader on my site. I used this website to make the uploader and did everything as I was told, as far as I know. I double checked my code and have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

When I try to upload a file I get an error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/caronthegerman/loldmypants.com/pictures/uploader/upload.php on line 73

Here is uploadimage.html: (View it here.)

imagedestroy($tmp)

on line 69.

Try adding a ; at the end of that line, so that it looks like the following

imagedestroy($tmp);

In upload.php

Ok I added the semicolon but now it has another error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/caronthegerman/loldmypants.com/pictures/uploader/upload.php on line 81Line 81:?>I'm so confused D:

Feelay · August 16, 2010

On line 80, try adding another } so that it looks like the following:

}}

Awesome, it worked! Thanks.The only problem now is that the thumbnail part isn't working. But that's not important. Instead, do you know how I could make an image rotator that rotates using multiple folders?For example, it takes a random picture from 2 folders and shows it on the page and upon refresh a new picture is seen?I found a few that do it with one folder, but I could not find one with 2 folders.

I'm afraid it'd take too long time for me to explain and I'm kind of busy at the moment. Maybe if someone else could help you (If you start a new thread), because I have no idea when I'll be able to write you a tutorial =/Regards/Feelay

Something rather annoying about this post being stretched out like this, but never mind lol

Ok I'm going to write a function below for you so you can select a random image from a random folder each time the function is called.
What I have done is basically taken the coding example from here (so the credit really goes to that person) and just added a bit of extra functionality
too incorporate multiple folders.

function getRandomImage(){// Change directories to your image directories, you can also add more if you wish eg. $randir[2] = 'images/randomdirectory3/'; just remember to add the trailing slash$randir[0] = 'images/randomdirectory1/';$randir[1] = 'images/randomdirectory2/';$getrandir = array_rand($randir, 1);$dir=opendir($randir[$getrandir[0]]);$i=0;while($imgfile = readdir($dir)){if (($imgfile != ".") && ($imgfile != "..")){$imgarray[$i] = $imgfile;$i++;}}closedir($dir);$rand=rand(0,count($imgarray)-1);if($rand >= 0){return '<img src="'.$randir[$getrandir[0]].''.$imgarray[$rand].'" width="170" height="137">';}}

So now all you have to do is change the following lines:

$randir[0] = 'images/randomdirectory1/';
$randir[1] = 'images/randomdirectory2/';

to the directorys you want to pull a random image from and like I stated in the comments, you can add more directories if you wish.
So now you have changed your directories all you need to do is echo the function and it will display your image.

echo getRandomImage();

I haven't tested the modified code but looking over it there shouldn't be a problem, let me know if it works.

I made a new topic since this really was getting annoying.
