Temporary Download Script - Unlink file after download
Hi Folks, Quick question: How would I go about using the unlink(); function to delete files from the 'files' folder after a user has downloaded the file? Download.php File <?php include('core/inc/init.inc.php'); if (isset($_GET['file_id'])) { $file_id = (int) $_GET['file_id']; $file = mysql_query(&q...

Re: Temporary link Download
Found the issue in upload.php You can go ahead and remove those lines I told you to put in if it works. [syntax=php]if (in_array($file_ext, $allowed_ext) ===false){ $errors[] = 'File extension not allowed';[/syntax] Right here you are not ending the bracket until later on so you are only defining $...

Re: Temporary link Download
We are here to help Try putting this under your opening PHP tag at the top of upload.php [syntax=php]error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);[/syntax] The only error I'm getting with error reporting turned on is Notice: Undefined variable: expiry in /home/davestec/public_html/tutorial/...

Re: Temporary link Download
What happens if you remove the quotes around $expiry in your upload query? [syntax=php] mysql_query("INSERT INTO files (file_name, file_expiry) VALUES ('{$file_name}','{$expiry}')");[/syntax] [syntax=php] mysql_query("INSERT INTO files (file_name, file_expiry) VALUES ('{$file_name}',...

Re: Temporary link Download
Please post file_list.php in case there's a difference. Also, what are the expiry values in the database both when you don't insert a number, and when you do. [syntax=php] <?php include('assets/inc/init.inc.php'); $files = mysql_query("SELECT file_id, file_name, file_expiry FROM files"); ...

Re: Temporary link Download
One small problem. Where it is validating with ctype_digit, you are using echo which won't stop it from continuing. You should set that as $errors instead of echoing it. Have you edited file_list.php since? What does the database show when you leave it blank and when you insert a number? No, I have...

Re: Temporary link Download
Don't take me the wrong way here. All you have to do is just follow the steps of the code and find the one where your modification fits. It's like a puzzle. You have to look at the part you're gonna put in and take note that it is giving $expiry a value, and then match it to where you do that in yo...

Re: Temporary link Download
Beat me to it Temor I should also mention that you should look into checking file extensions and only allow a few. Any files that can execute code like .php,.html.py.js etc. you should filter out because they can potentially break into your file system, or worse. To make it more simple because ther...

Re: Temporary link Download
You would just check if they left it blank. However, you need more validation for what you're doing because you aren't checking that what they're entering is actually a number. To accomplish what you're trying to do, first make sure that if they enter something that it's a number so it won't cause ...

Hi Folks, I am wondering how I would set a default period for a file to expire? At the moment you enter the number of minutes you want the file to be active, and after that set time the file expires. But, I want to add some functionality so that, by default, the file will expire after 10 minutes, sa...

You should filter the email contents. I ran into a problem where an email provider I used had failed to filter JavaScript. Hidden fields are also editable. You should collect the ip by php once they submit the form. As for $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] being echoed unfiltered, Server variables are suppli...
