Hey everyone. Here's a simple question. I'd like to be able to import information from a text file located on the client without actually saving it on the server; that is, I simply want to read the data into memory on the server, without actually saving it to a file. I've been googling around to learn about uploading files via PHP, but haven't found anything yet (I could save the file to a temporary location and delete it when finished, but I'd prefer not to have to do this if at all possible.)

But in the browser if it's given, say, an image URL, it has to make a new HTTP request back to the server to get whatever that URL is. If that URL is a PHP script that returns an image out of a database it will be slower than if it's a URL to a file sitting on disk. That's where the performance loss is.

A well-optimized and load balanced database-based setup will beat a badly configured file system setup, sure. But will it beat a well-optimized and load balanced file system setup? I would be very surprised. Really, it comes down to this, assuming you know what you're doing either way. Using a database and PHP access script will add overhead to the process. Period.

Re: [PHP] Uploading Files Should I use MySQL or Server for storage?
Thanks Rich. The files are not going to be downloaded all that often and the overall traffic is relatively low. However, as with probably everyone I am hoping and expecting big increases in traffic. I currently run most of my site off LAMP. My main concerns as you mentioned is using memory/CPU bandwidth. There will probably be far more files stored than accessed. Hope this helps everyone else with their opinions.

I appreciate all > your opinions on the pros and cons of both. This isn't a 'one size fits all' question. The pros and cons are specific only to your site.

Is there any way I am able to > automatically change the owner of the file to my FTP login identity > (for > example 'rpiggott') Yes, no, sort of, maybe, and exactly how depends. See, here's the thing. If you, rpiggott, or if www, could just chown (change owner) of any file to anything they wanted, that would be Very Bad. Cuz you could change a file to be owned by 'root', then chmod it to be run *AS* root, and then you essentially *are* 'root'. And that's bad. If you don't know why that's bad, you're way behind on your reading... Anyway, here's what you can do, that should work no matter what else is happening on the machine: User www can make the file world or group readable with http://php.net/chmod when the file is created. If rpiggott and www are in a common group, group readable is enough; If not, you have to use world readable. Use group if you can. Once www's file is readable by rpiggott, then rpiggott can copy the file in a cron job or shell script that www can execute, or... When rpiggott copies www's file into a new file, then rpiggott is creating the file, and it should be owned by rpiggott. Another option, if you happen to have 'root' on the machine (which would be kinda scary given the original question, but there it is) you can make a root-owned script to just chown the files, and run it in a cron job. Before you do all this -- Think carefully. Sometimes changing ownership has broad and drastic implications. You may want to just have www chmod the file so rpiggott can read it or even write it, and then you don't have to go so far as chown. As a general principle, always do the minimum needed to get the task done, when it comes to chmod/chown. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?

Re: [PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Hi Brett My form is effectively identical to yours Upload a file: No the first part of the file name is just dropped and the file with the truncated name is saved in the correct place. But with it escaping the quote do you mean that you end up with a file with \ in it? That would be an illegal filename.

Thanks Bret I have tried turning all reporting on - error_reporting(E_ALL); but that doesn't reveal anything significant I have looked in the logs but there is nothing significant there.

Hi Tom
Here's some quick comments..
. You need enctype="multipart/form-data" on your form for file uploads
. Watch out for max file size being exceeded -- check the php manual on
'Handling file uploads'
. If register_globals is off on your server you'd better start looking at
using the $_FILES superglobal (check the manual)
. use move_uploaded_file(...) rather than copy(...)

Re: [PHP] Uploading files time out every so often
Well I have built a script that is responsible for upload 20Mb of files at a time. The possible probs are 1) A short disconnetion in the net connection can cause the upload to stall 2) Sometimes when I visit / post data on the same domain, the upload stalls where as if I just leave that upload be and continue surfing on other sites, it generally runs ok to the end. 3) Free space - wierd things happen when PHP is unable to write files on the server (like your disk quota gets used up) 4) Check ifyour server has enough bandwidth to manage so many uploads at once. Make sure the server does not get disconnected (This is unlikely, but never the less check) Hope it helps.

[PHP] Uploading files time out every so often
Hello, I am currently involved in a site where users frequently need to upload text files of various sizes. Every so often users will experience problems where the uploads will start timing-out and need to be reinitiated. The timeout problem comes and goes, so far I've been unable to find the root cause. It happens with files of all sizes, from 10k to several MB, eventually they all get uploaded, tho sometimes it can take days re-trying. Another issue is experienced when the above symptom is happening which makes me think they're related. An additional tool on the site writes out files with information provided by a user thru a form. A user submits a form with some text and php writes out a file with the received info and notifies the user the task was done. Every so often the browser will timeout with no file written out by php or notification. This symptom can go on for days. The info being written to a file is never longer than a dozen lines of text so it's quite small. Initially we thought that the server just did not have the resources to service simultaneous uploads but monitoring tools show the cpu appears to be near idle when this is experienced. I've experienced the file writing problem when I was the only user on the server with all unnecessary services disabled. The browser will just time out, then one days voila! it works until the next problem day. This is on a Linux box with Apache 1.3, php 4.2.2 & experienced across multiple browsers. All the scripts have set_time_limit(0). File system has the proper permissions and with plenty of free space. We've been collecting quite a lot of info from the server to try to capture it's state at the time of the problem but nothing raises any flags. Has anyone experienced this issue or a similar issue?

The temp file is automatically deleted after confirmation.php dies. Therefore by the time you send the tmp_name through to the send_file.php it no longer exists. What you're going to have to do is copy() the tmp file to a permenant location within confirmation.php. And then post that information to send_file.php with an added subroutine to delete the file if the user goes back to change some info. Confirmations are normally only used durring descructive actions so you may consider ditching the confirmation screen all together.

By apache I ment the httpd process's user.

[PHP] uploading files and MAX_FILE_SIZE and php.ini
Hi, all --
Yes, I'm back again with another upload question. I promise I've been
paying attention in class, but I just can't get this to work!
The default upload_max_filesize in my php.ini was 2M, but I changed it to
200M and restarted the server, and now phpinfo() reports 200M. I created
a dinky little upload form, which is attached, to either accept an upload
or tell me that it got one, and I can successfully upload files of 7M
(much bigger than the original 2M). After initial failures, I added a
hidden form field MAX_FILE_SIZE as has been suggested (but sometimes
contested) in other posts. I still cannot, however, upload anything
larger; a 9M file as well as some 30M and 40M tests just doesn't appear.
I have only 5-10M of my 256M available, but I have 90M of swap free and
over 1G free on /, the monolithic root partition.
Now I'm at a loss for where to turn to fix this. It would seem that
everything is in place! Is there an apache directive that I need as
well, perhaps?
TIA & HAND
:-D

Re: [PHP] Uploading files
Well, apparently $_POST[passcodeFile] is empty. The first question that
comes to mind is whether you have the correct array index there. The
second is why do you need the double quotes surrounding it. You should
try echoing $_POST[passcodeFile] and see if it contains anything.

I usually use this code to upload files when I have a form with
It no longer works for some reason:
$data = fread(fopen("$_POST[passcodeFile]", "r"),

Here are the errors that it produces:

Warning: stat failed for (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource

The "$data =" line is line number 146. Does anyone seen anything wrong
with this?

Re: [PHP] uploading files problem
hi friend, do we have static variables in php? If we have can u give the syntax!!1 Thanks in advance Balaji Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_=_NextPart_001_01C1D70D.F3519000" --_=_NextPart_001_01C1D70D.F3519000 Content-Type: text/plain hi there, I'm trying to upload a file using php on an apache server running on linux. The code of the form I'm using is as follow: File to upload: Upload when I press the submit button after selecting the file, nothing happens. I tried to print the filename passed by the form but it is empty. If I run the same page on my win2k server, everything works fine. It seems as that the form doesn't pass post variables. I also tried to delete the enctype parameter and in this case the variables are printed on screen. Is there any particular setting on linux for this page to work? thanks --_=_NextPart_001_01C1D70D.F3519000-- **Disclaimer Information contained in this E-MAIL being proprietary to Wipro Limited is 'privileged' and 'confidential' and intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
