[Badnik96]

Meh, Might make something for this. My first attempt at Candy is on the way!

[Resetti's Replicas]

Just to be clear, can the robot have another weapon in addition to the face spinner?

[G.K.]

O.o
Sonny's entering!

[Stagfish]

yays!

[ACAMS]

Just to be clear, can the robot have another weapon in addition to the face spinner?

RULES UPDATED!!!
 
Any weapon used other than a face spinner MUST BE STATIC (it can not move)

[Sparkey98]

I was gonna have a transforming VS to FS, can I still do it?

[ACAMS]

I would rather see a face spinner, but since they made transforming VS last month, I don't see how I can say no......unless it is not a face spinner and a weapon moves that in not on the face spinner motor.

[Serge]

#5 - Make a splash, zip it and upload it (Be sure to include your name so I will know who made it)

But... but... zipping a PNG has no sense, it's archived as far as it's possible, even more than zipping a raw .bmp .

[ACAMS]

I can make the uploader upload just .jpg and .png, but I do it like that so people will remember to name the file, or include a txt with their name. If I allow images, 90% of my entries would be screenshot.jpg and badassbot.png, then I would not know who did it.
 
Hell, I have one or two EVERY month as it is!

[Sparkey98]

what I mean is is two HP Z-teks with face spinners, attatched to servos, so they can move the FS sideways = VS

What about adding a <input type="text" name="user" /> and code up the script so that the file is renamed to the name provided in the upload form? Or you just can't be arsed? :P

[ACAMS]

I can be  arsed......stupid arsed! Link me to a tutorial. So far I have this.. .https://gametechmods.com/?do=TEST , but can't make it change the name. It already has a random name generator
 

Code: [Select]

if (file_exists($target_path.$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])) {
     $random_digit=rand(0000,9999);
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path.$random_digit.basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']))) {
      echo "The file ".  $random_digit.basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded <br>";
   $fileurl= "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']. "/".$target_path.$random_digit.basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);?>
     </div>
   <div align="center">
     <input name="textfield" type="text" id="textfield" value="[url=<?=$fileurl?>]<?=$fileurl?>[/url]" size="55"  />
  <? } else{
      echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
  }

But I don't know how to make it use the user name.
 
I added your line the the script here
 

Code: [Select]

}else{ ?>
</div>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="index.php?do=TEST" method="POST">
              <div align="center"><p>
     <BR><strong>Put your name in this box</strong><br />
   <input type="text" name="user" />
            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000000" />
            <BR />
          Upload your splash here .jpg, or .png ONLY<BR />
          <BR />
          <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" />
           <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
                </p>
              </div>
</form>
            <div align="center"><br />
                <? } ?>             
            </div>

What do I need to do?

[Serge]

In the first snippet, replace

Code: [Select]

$random_digit=rand(0000,9999);by

Code: [Select]

$bad_stuff = array("..", ".", "/", "\\");
$random_digit = str_replace($bad_stuff, "", $_POST['user']);

[Sage]

Yo, I'ma win this one. Well, at least i'll do me best :D

[JoeBlo]

never :P for I am entering also

[ACAMS]

In the first snippet, replace

Code: [Select]

$random_digit=rand(0000,9999);by

Code: [Select]

$bad_stuff = array("..", ".", "/", "\\");
$random_digit = str_replace($bad_stuff, "", $_POST['user']);

That didn't work, it didn't change the name.

[ACAMS]

   Serge helped make the uploader WAY better.....you can now upload just your images....instructions in the rules!

[goose]

$bad_stuff = array("..", ".", "/", "\\");
$random_digit = str_replace($bad_stuff, "", $_POST['user']);


... Wouldn't you need to run the array in a loop for that to work?(to lazy to test, if not... sweet.)
 $random_digit =  $_POST['user'];
foreach ($bad_stuff as $value) {
    $random_digit = str_replace($value, "",  $random_digit);
}




EDIT:


just tried. It Does work! thats fantastic. You learn something new every day.
