i have the following HTML, JavaScript and PHP code to upload a text file which has a table and display it in the same page,
HTML:
<panel action="#" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" onchange="return ajaxFileUpload(this);">
</panel>
<iframe width="300px" height="300px" name="upload_iframe" id="upload_iframe" ></iframe>
JavaScript:
function ajaxFileUpload(upload_field)
{
var filename = upload_field.value;
upload_field.form.action = 'upload_file.php';
upload_field.form.target = 'upload_iframe';
upload_field.form.submit();
return true;
}
PHP:upload_file.php
<?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
$filepath = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
if (file_exists($filepath)) {
$file = fopen($filepath, 'r');
echo '<table border=1>';
while (!feof($file)) {
$line = fgets($file);
$first_char = $line[0];
if ($first_char != '*' && $first_char != '^' && trim($line) != '') {
if (strstr($line, '|')) {
$split = explode('|', $line);
echo '<tr>';
foreach($split as $line) {
echo '<td>'.$line.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
} else {
echo '<tr><td>'.$line.'</td></tr>';
}
}
}
echo '</table>';
} else {
echo 'the file does not exist';
}
}
?>
Now, i have the following php code to read/extract the file contents and display it in another text file, but i cannot get the output with this code. This code works fine when i tried to read/extract the values form an input in html page, am i thinking in the right direction ? how can i achieve this?
PHP:
file_put_contents($file, "
File Contents: ", FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
//$ret = file_put_contents($file, $_POST['file'], FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
ajaxFileUpload cannot send a $_FILESvariable (only with exporer or old browsers)
I sugest you to Upload your file with normal file input. You don't need copy the uploaded file to a directory after sent form.
Only get the temporany file contents with file_get_contents of $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
