File Upload class in PHP

[mkeefe]

There has been some talk about uploading files in PHP. Well I decided that this class (I use a modified version from this) could be useful.

It lets you keep all the uploading logic out of your file and only takes a couple of lines to get things going.

Features:

- multiple file upload
- protection for overwrites
- security on the filename
- easy to implement design
- class based to be re-used
- error trapping

How to use:

<?php

// import the required upload class
require 'Upload.php';

// set a directory where the files would be uploaded to
$imageDir = 'images/uploads/';

// Make the directory, if it
// doesn't already exist
if(!is_dir($imageDir))
{
	mkdir($imageDir);
	chmod($imageDir, 0777);
}

// grab the images from the $_FILE array
$images = $_FILES['images'];

// create a new instance of the Upload class
$upload = new Upload($imageDir);

// kick off the uploading process
$uploadResult = $upload->uploadFiles($images);

// grab the uploaded files
$uploads = $upload->getUploaded();

// uncomment this line to see the raw upload data
//print_r($uploads);

// loop through all the uploaded files, print out 
// the name. In a more complete application you 
// could insert the entry into the database.
foreach($uploads as $file)
{
	print "File Name: " . $file['name'] . "<br />\n";	
}

?>

Here is the class file, save it in the same directory as the PHP file that implements it With the name "Upload.php".
