Custom folder name when uploading files to server

[eklem2009]

Hi,

I’ve been using QuForm for a while now and love it, however, I now have the need to upload files and store them on the web server.

This is working fine, however, I’m embedding it into a login-restricted environment and would like the upload to be put into a personal folder for the logged in use.

This seems pretty straight forward with something like the code below but I’m not 100% sure what it needs to be:

$config[‘uploadPath’] = QUFORM_ROOT . ‘../../content/ . $_SESSION[‘username’] . /uploads’;

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ally,

Thanks for your reply. I think the issue lies in the session/username not getting passed to Quform and I’m not sure how to do this correctly without causing a conflict.

I figured an alternative way to pass the username would be to use a hidden field within the form like:
<input type="hidden" name="userfolder" value="<?=$_SESSION['username'];?>"/>

I’ve tried something like this but I think I’m coming at it from the wrong way:

 $userfolder = new Quform_Element('userfolder');
$config['uploadPath'] = realpath(QUFORM_ROOT . '/../../content/'.$userfolder.'/uploads');
