This is a nice tutorial, but I can’t test it to see if it works because my webhost does not support the ZipArchive() thingie…

Please don’t use global, just pass the $target to the function…

Hmmm. Interesting tutorial. I was just doing similar thing But for easier manipulation of file paths I’ve made this approach:

—
$fileinfo = pathinfo($_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name']);
$fileinfo['basename'] = basename($fileinfo['basename'],’.’.$fileinfo['extension'])
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$result = $zip->open($fileinfo['dirname'].$fileinfo['basename'].’.’.$fileinfo['extension'],ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
if ($result == ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP) {
die(’not Zip’);
}

I’m sorry if I made typos.

So God does exist. I have been stuck trying to do something like this in Drupal on which my site is based. Thanks sooo much for this. And by the way… nicely done!

this stuff is way beyond my head, but I need to create a file uploader in PHP that is super secure… any ideas where something like that may reside? Thanks!

@Jeffrey Way
this would avoid that issue all together since if the variable has already been set once it wont be changed
if(!isset($okay)){
$okay = strtolower($name[1]) == ‘zip’ ? true: false;
}
