New subject: How to get the array $wgFileExtensions in Localsetting.php

31 May 2012


      Hi,
 i upload the files to the mediawiki using the API. i use the code bellow:
use strict;
use MediaWiki::API;
use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;
#use encoding 'utf8';
binmode STDERR, ":utf8";
use URI::Escape;
use warnings;
use MediaWiki::API;
my $url="http://localhost/mediawiki";
 my $wiki_login="nguyenki";
 my $wiki_passwd="linh";
 my $wiki_domain="";
 my $mediawiki;
 mw_connect_maybe();
 # configure the special upload location.
 $mediawiki->{config}->{upload_url} = "$url/index.php/Special:Upload";
* my @extensionFiles =
("png","gif","jpg","jpeg","doc","xls","mpp","pdf","ppt","tiff","bmp","docx",
"xlsx", "pptx","ps","odt","ods","odp","odg","txt");*
 my %hashFiles = map { $_ => 1} @extensionFiles;
 #Test with a file .png
 *my $name="somefile.png"; *
 if(exists($hashFiles{substr($name,-3)}) ||
exists($hashFiles{substr($name,-4)}))
 {
# upload a file to MediaWiki
 open (my $toi, $name) or die "can't open UTF-8 encoded filename: $!";
 binmode $toi;
 my ($buffer, $data);
 while (my $n=read($toi, $buffer, 65536) )  {
 $data .= $buffer;
 print STDERR "$n bytes read\n";
 }
 close($toi);
$mediawiki->upload( { title => $name,
                summary => 'This is the summary to go on the Image:file.jpg
page',
               data => $data } ) || die $mediawiki->{error}->{code} . ': '
. $mediawiki->{error}->{details};
}
else
{
    print "FILE TYPE NOT SUPPORTED\n";
}
sub mw_connect_maybe {
if ($mediawiki) {
        return;
    }
    $mediawiki = MediaWiki::API->new;
    $mediawiki->{config}->{api_url} = "$url/api.php";
if ($wiki_login) {
        if (!$mediawiki->login({
            lgname => $wiki_login,
            lgpassword => $wiki_passwd,
            lgdomain => $wiki_domain,
        })) {
            print STDERR "Failed to log in mediawiki user "$wiki_login"
on $url\n";
            print STDERR "(error " .
                $mediawiki->{error}->{code} . ': ' .
                $mediawiki->{error}->{details} . ")\n";
            exit 1;
        } else {
            print STDERR "Logged in with user "$wiki_login".\n";
        }
    }
}
To test the type of file supported, i have to use this variable:
* my @extensionFiles =
("png","gif","jpg","jpeg","doc","xls","mpp","pdf","ppt","tiff","bmp","docx",
"xlsx", "pptx","ps","odt","ods","odp","odg","txt");
*if the file name  *$name* is not in the array, I'll generate a message
error. : *print "FILE TYPE NOT SUPPORTED\n";
*My question is if the user change the type of file supported in the *
LocalSettings.php* , this programme is not true any more.
How can i get the array *$wgFileExtensions* from the *LocalSettings.php*?
Thank.
