Multimedia Upload

Hello all,

Awhile back, I post a a script that allow vb3 member to upload files like mp3, wma, etc. I have no idea that such upload is needed for our board I got a lot of request for instructions and direction on that script.

As a result, I put aside a little time from my working hour and work on this new upload script.

What this script does is:

- Allow members to select a file from their local computer.

-Upload to the board's predifined directory.

-Create a meta file that associated with the current uploaded file, and save to another directory. This meta will be used by the music bb code



The uploaded files are not managed by database.

return false;
}

PHP Code:

//################### set usergroup can access this script  ############################
if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,2,3,4,5,6)))
    { 
        print_no_permission(); 
    }

//########################### settings  ############################################

$file_extension = array(".wma", ".mp3", ".rm", ".ram", ".wmv"); 
$filesizes = "31457280"; // max filesize allowed to upload (in KB)
$filesizemb = number_format($filesizes/1024,1) . "MB"; // convert to  mb

$metaurl="http://www.123.com/yourforum/musicmetadirectory/" ; 
$metadir="/var/www/html/forum/musicmetadirectory/"; 


You will have to create the BB code for your music format. If you need the bb code, I will post it up here.

Thanks

what is it different with the Image/File Uploader, the installer + switch statement?

Actually, this is based on your image/file uploader. This is a part of my upload code that will create meta files and being managed by database. I strip it out so that I can perform upload and meta creation functions.
