I would like to be able to give users the ability to upload images with their classified ads. In order to do so, I would need to make sure that the image format is an allowed format for the users quota. It looks like the isMediaFile() function is the answer. The only issue is that I'm not sure I am using the proper arguments.

bool isMediaFile (string $file, [string $type = 'audio'], array &$_quot)

I tried to place the code below, during the error checking of the upload form.
$_post['meter_file_1'] is the File Upload form element

Code

//  Error checking:  Does the users quota allow this file format? if (!isMediaFile($_post['meter_file_1'],'image',$_user['quota_image_formats'])) { // do something!!! }

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

Try just $_user for the last argument.

Thanks for the reply Kyle. I tried your suggestion, and it didn't work. Basically I am just trying to get the file uploading to work. With that in mind, I added 2 modes to my form controller, for testing purposes only. What I hoped would happen when this script is ran is:

ON mode=upload:
Display a simple form, with progress meter, that asks for the file to upload.

On the forms submit(mode=upload_done), the script should Iterate through the $_post['meter_file_1'] image array and echo the image attributes. (Name, type, tmp_name, error, & size) Then test the image to see if the file type is allowed by the users quota.

Everything seems to work great, until I get to the, 'Something went terribly wrong!'

Here is a snippet of form controller, Maybe you see something wrong?

Code

switch ($_post['mode']) {   case 'upload':     jmHtmlBegin('File Upload');     $_args = array(       'mode' => 'upload_done'     );     jrProgressFormBegin('mcClassifiedAds.php',$_args);     jmSpanCell('File Upload','This is the Help',30,'html_modify.png');     jmInput('Select a File',"meter_file_1",'file');     jrProgressBarHtml();     jrFormSubmit('Upload File','undo changes',false,'admin.php',false,true,'media');     jmEndForm();     jmBodyEnd();     jmHtmlEnd();     break;     exit;   case 'upload_done':     foreach($_post['meter_file_1'] as $key => $value) {       echo "-post['{$key}'] = '{$value}'<br/>";     }     echo "The files extension is: ". getExt($_post['meter_file_1']['name']) ."<br/>";            if (isMediaFile($_post['meter_file_1'],"image", $_user)) {       jrMediaGetFile("mcClassifiedAds","meter_file_1",'11',$_user['band_id']);       echo "saved?";     } else {       echo "something went terribly wrong!";     }     break;     exit; }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

What do you have that field set to for this quota? And what image extension are you using?

Thanks again for your help.

Not sure what you mean by:

Quote:

The image extensions:
$_user['quota_image_formats'] = 'gif,png,jpg,jpeg,jpe'

And I am trying to upload: Les Paul GoldTop1.JPG

I wonder if it is because the image I am attempting to upload has spaces in the filename, or that the JPG is in caps?

Thanks for the help, Kyle. That was the issue. I changed the code, just a bit:

Code

if (isMediaFile(strtolower($_post['meter_file_1']['name']),"image", $_user)) {   jrMediaGetFile("mcClassifiedAds","meter_file_1",'14',$_user['band_id']);   echo "saved?"; } else {   echo "something went terribly wrong!"; }

And Now I see the image, in the users media directory.

Do you know what function to use, to make sure that the user hasn't exceeded their disk space?

[smith.kyle]

I think jrMediaGetFile will tell you that or not.

Kyle
