This topic would have come up sometime, so what not now? Here's some things I think would be great to add:

Flood protection: Keep an IP from uploading x files per hour.
Ban from upload: This is kind of a two-parter. First, have the uploader create a log.txt to log what IP uploaded what file and when, then it could be used to ban users from the uploader. Might be useless, since flood protection, though.
User login: I recommend a login panel to see and delete files from the specified directory to store the files.[/list]

thanks for the suggestions..
I think the Flood protection will be in the next Beta

but as for the rest, I think they will have to wait
because they are major changes..

One thing I would like is a list of file types allowed and maximum files sizes.

in the latest beta 4+, once you have exceded one of the limits,limits specifications will apear for you!

and as for the flood protection, it wont be strong!
making it strong will require logging in a file and lots of stuff, which will make the script lose it's soul

Sorry I did not explain myself very well.

Maximum upload file size - so it can be checked before submitting.

File type - I might only let users upload jpg.

I know the script checks all this; but it would be nice to inform the user before they try uploading something that will be rejected and this data is already set in SFUConfig.php

Also is it possible to change the page that confirms the upload - instead of seeing the options to upload again it would go to say the site index page ?

this means that I should use a client side scripting language! which is JavaScript!
unfortunatly, javascript does not have access to the file system to see the file size before it's uploaded!!
I've just read that yesterday

File type - I might only let users upload jpg.

this might be possible, but again I will have to use javascript...
I will look on that

Also is it possible to change the page that confirms the upload - instead of seeing the options to upload again it would go to say the site index page ?

yeah, some people asked me for that, too
I will rearrange the whole script again and add an option to show the results or not ..

anyway, currently you can do that by replacing this line:

//we will echo form in any condition..
echo $form;

with :

echo '<a href="http://domain.com/index.php">back to index</a>';

I've looked into this, and I am afraid it can't be implemnted!
because of the [] in the form! if you use this in javascript it will get confused and will pop an error up!!

there is a walkaround, but it's very silly and will make the script very stupid!! and that is changing the name SFUfile[] to SFUfile1, SFUfile2, .. etc!!
but it's really not good!


P.S. the first candidate is out!

[Peter]

rename files whith same name or block it!

[Saleh]

rename files whith same name or block it!

yes, this is planned for 1.1 release
I was thinking about the overwrite option, but renameing ... I gotta think how would I do that ..

[Saleh]

ok...
after thinking about all these features requested, I think the only feature which will be implemnted is files overwriting option ..
because this option might be needed in upload scripts ..
but all the others doesn't relate to them ! like flood protection and user login for example are regarding authentication but not uploading!
so I am skipping all these ..
and 1.1 is almost ready for release with the new option to overwrite files
