Lab 13: File Upload

Student Learning Objectives

Design and implement using interactive PHP/Web application that uses
- XHTML Forms to upload user's files
- SQLite database to store the names of the uploaded files
- PHP scripting to create a list of hypertext links that reference the uploaded files

Assignment

Extend the work we did in class to create a file upload page that permits users to upload HTML files to a folder on your U:\ drive. Create another page to allow the user to see a list of the names of the uploaded files, each filename rendered as a hypertext link. Users should be able to click on the link and view the contents of the uploaded HTML file in the browser.

To Receive Credit

To help with grading, begin your pages with your account number (e.g. in cs35002_nn [h1]) and your name [h2]
Print out and staple together two printouts:
- your file upload form as displayed in the browser
- your available files link page as displayed in the browser
your PHP code will be checked online
Save your files in folder u:\htdocs\lab13\ in your cs350 account

Screen Snapshots

none specified, use your own design

- 9: Very well done: Minor coding or usability problems in the input form or available file list page that do not affect their functionality.
- 8: Well done: either the user input page or the available file page has minor problems that affect its functionality.

- 6: Problems: Major problems are present in the pages.
