[PHP] Re: File upload in map drive with PHP
Do you mean you are trying to do an upload of a file on a mapped drive, such as a network drive? Is this upload using an html form with an input type=file tag? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The drive needs to be mapped for the internet user (usually IUSR_machinename I
think), otherwise that drive won't exist.

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload Problem
Is there already a file with the same name?
Apparently copy won't overwrite a file on windows if it already exists.
Maybe you have the same problem ffproberen2 at dodgeit dot com had on
the php.net/move_uploaded_file manpage?

If you really want to get help, publish your code.
I don't think that's true. I should be able to ask a technical question with
observations and inquire as to What's wrong? After all, what's the point
of showing code that works on two servers, but fails on a third? Really,
what is that going to tell you?
As for the uploaded file exceeding max file size and file_uploads
enabled, those are obvious and I did that investigation before I posted the
question. They are NOT the problem.
I also checked all the servers involved for safe_mode and open_basedir
settings and they are set the same. Additionally, the upload_max_filesize
and upload_tmp_dir are also set exactly the same. As such, I don't know
what else to look for -- hence my question.
As I said, the script works on two servers, but fails on a third.
This is what I've learned in addition to the above:
The script does successfully upload the file to the server in question. For
example, I receive truth from:
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
echo('true');
}
I can even get the contents of the uploaded file by:
$contents = file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']);
echo($contents);
-- and the contents are displayed.
So, the file is indeed uploaded!
What I cannot do is move the file to another location using:
$result = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . '/' .
$_FILES['userfile']['name']);
(Yes, all possible file paths have been investigated)
Nor, can I copy the file by:
$result = copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . '/' .
$_FILES['userfile']['name']);
The only difference I see is the server causing problems is Windows NT
whereas the others are Linux.

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload Problem
I had some similar problem with Windows 7,
it had to do with UAC and folder rights. Apache/PHP could read but not
write to any dir except the ones that all users could write to.
I solved it by allowing every one to read, write and change content in
the directory where I needed PHP to handle/control the content.

I'd suggest you *copy* the old file (if it exists) to archive anyway, and then
*move* it back if the new version doesn't verify. That seems pretty safe to

You probably need a deeper inspection than checking the extension - that's
Microsoft thinking...
You can't trust what the client is telling you - even the MIME type sent by the
browser is no guarantee.
Since you're on Linux, why not look at using the 'file' shell command to get a
more detailed inspection of the upload.
I made a basic function like this a few years ago - probably needs a bit of
tweaking:
?php
function getMimeType($file)
{
global $magicFile;
$mimecmd = /usr/bin/file -b -m .escapeshellargs($magicFile).
.escapeshellargs($file). 2 /dev/null;
$ret = exec($mimecmd);
if (!$ret)
{
$ret = unknown;
}
return $ret;
}
?
The global $magicFile is the tricky bit - you need to find a nice Unix magic
numbers file that returns mime types (they're easier to parse than regular magic
number responses). Probably something like /usr/share/misc/magic.mime, but that
depends on the system.

I don't pay any attention to MIME sent by the client.
I check the MIME returned from getimagesize() and I'm not too certain of it. i need to do further
research.
I do check the images have width and height and I extract the embedded text
stuff.
I'm going to look into your suggestion. Thanks.

Any suggestion to use some other applet. Any freeware etc. Or one not so expensive and which overcomes this php's 1.99 gb limit. I will again suggest http://radinks.com/upload/ .

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs
I will again suggest http://radinks.com/upload/ . It does not use POST to transfer huge files. Thanks everyone for replying. I had a look at that. My problem is that along with uploading file I also have to post some other information as well. File names are randomly generated. Jupload seems to do the work other than that POST problem. Client is asking for web based solution. I cannot ask him to do ftp. PHP's handling of uploaded files is confusing. I have added logging to the script to which jupload posts. Logging suggests that php file is only accessed after file is completely uploaded by jupload. I also checked apache access logs. Entry in apache log appears only after file is completely uploaded. Another thing that came up with this jupload is that as soon as I hit upload button, a file named phpxx.tmp (xx is any number) is created in temporary directory and its size starts growing as upload happens. If applet doesn't post to php even at start then how come the temporary file is named phpxx.tmp. I tried to upload file on internet using jupload and it seems to me script is timing out even when I have specified 1 hour as timeout. set_time_limit(216000); 137 MB upload seemed to time out. and the set_time_limit doesn't seem to have any affect. Now the even if I accept php's 1.99 GB limit. What to do about this timeout? Do I have to set it in php.ini? Why woudn't it work through the above function? Stut is suggesting it has to be custom made as this kind of solution doesn't seem to already exit. A solution where some applet etc. only passes that information to php which is needed to move the file and update the database.

Stut, thank you very much for explaining things and trying to help. The applet *does* POST to PHP. However, it has the option to upload to an FTP server the choice of using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP connections for your transfer (from the website). So it seems applet posts complete data to that php file handling script (rather php engine),*as soon as upload button is clicked*, rather than uploading first and then posting to php. That is the reason for name phpxx.tmp of temporary file. As that seems to be the case; there is no real benefit in using applet (in case of http) other than that progress bar which is already supported by php 5.2 It also seems that php engine only hands over control to php file after the file is completely uploaded that is why my custom logging doesn't start as soon as upload starts. It only starts when file is already uploaded. The timeout is likely coming from Apache. It has a limits similar to PHP. Tested on two servers. Both cases it seems to fail if it takes more than 30 seconds. I get an error: [08-Jun-2007 20:15:06] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in \handle_upload.php on line 2 If you don't mind me asking, what are people uploading? 4gig is a lot for a single file of any type except maybe DVD images.

It is not everyday that you have to deal with such issues. Sites like these calim that you can use your web browser to upload 10 gb files. http://www.sendyourfiles.com/features/?web-mail But clients forget that they are using some kind of plugins. That's the PHP timeout kicking in. There is another setting in php.ini (I forget what it's called) that tells it how long it is allowed to wait for the request to be read, but looking at that error I'm not convinced that's what's causing that timeout.

It's entirely possible that Apache and PHP conspire to handle the upload, and do things about the upload, but you won't have any access in php script to it, most likely, until it's all finished. That said, check out Rasmus' recent patch to PHP which allows for an upload progress meter -- It's entirely possible you could glean something useful from that... If applet doesn't post to php even at start then how come the temporary file is named phpxx.tmp. It's posting to Apache which is talking to PHP to handle the upload, but it's a team process, and your PHP script has zero access until it's done.

Nor are your users, for several reasons: No way to continue aborted/failed upload, unlike FTP Browser timeout completely outside your control Too many users will think they have to sit and wait to finish Actually only admin will upload files and that to locally. That is why I am not worried about wasting 15 minutes to upload it through browser. PHP's handling of uploaded files is confusing. I have added logging to the script to which jupload posts. Logging suggests that php file is only accessed after file is completely uploaded by jupload. I also checked apache access logs. Entry in apache log appears only after file is completely uploaded. Sort of... You'd have to read Apache and PHP sources to see how it all works for sure, but... Only if I was a C programmer :-). Not even java programmer anymore. Another thing that came up with this jupload is that as soon as I hit upload button, a file named phpxx.tmp (xx is any number) is created in temporary directory and its size starts growing as upload happens. It's entirely possible that Apache and PHP conspire to handle the upload, and do things about the upload, but you won't have any access in php script to it, most likely, until it's all finished. Yes, that is what is happening. That said, check out Rasmus' recent patch to PHP which allows for an upload progress meter -- It's entirely possible you could glean something useful from that... I have my own ajax script. which uses php 5.2 to monitor progress. The problem is php's limit of around 1.99 GB. You have missed few posts. http://www.nabble.com/RE:-File-Upload---post_max_size-and-upload_max_filesize-in--GBs-t3884697.html In my first email I had specified that when I set php limit to 4G it starts complaining about maximum post length (as it becomes negative). It seems to store values in integer or something. Also even apache 2.0 complains about invalid content length when I try to post 4 gb file. I have checked logs. May be apache 2.2 solves this problem. If applet doesn't post to php even at start then how come the temporary file is named phpxx.tmp. It's posting to Apache which is talking to PHP to handle the upload, but it's a team process, and your PHP script has zero access until it's done. I tried to upload file on internet using jupload and it seems to me script is timing out even when I have specified 1 hour as timeout. set_time_limit(216000); You have to define timing out more clearly...

I get an error:

That's php timeout message. You have NOT set the tmeout as you think.
Yes it is.
I had tried setting it using ini_set and also set_time_limit didn't take
into consideration any.
ini_set('max_execution_time ', 216000);
set_time_limit(216000);
I had to change in php.ini and it seems to work.

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs
I think the problem occurred as I specified size in php.ini using 4096M or 4G. Then just now I specified as 4294967294 around 4(GB) and I am getting the POSTed values. *Locally, on windows xp* this is working but when I set these values as as 4294967294 on Mandriva with php 5.1.6 and Apache/2.2.3. I get nothing in post as post_max_size turns negative and it won't allow any content greater than negative value. I am still trying. I Installed Apache 2.2.4 on windows. Now file is being uploaded properly but file was still not moved. I had added a check if ($file_details['size'] 0) // do moving, update databases and it was being returned negative. The logged it and $_FILES showed this for a 3.28 gb file Array ( [File0] = Array ( [name] = FC-6-i386-DVD.iso [type] = application/octet-stream [tmp_name] = C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.COM\LOCALS~1\Temp\php77.tmp [error] = 0 [size] = -769771520 ) ) I have removed this file size check and file *Uploaded Successfully*. I haven't changed memory limit at all. Script time out I had to specify in php.ini file as one hour. Even though time of around 6 minutes should be enough to do the move_uploaded_file and update database but set_time_limit had no effect. Any guess upgrading to php 5.2.1 on mandriva will solve problem as it already has apache 2.2.3?

[PHP] Re: File Upload Security and chmod
I always use the ftp functions of php to upload files. I think it´s more
safe than move_uploaded_file function.
Andy Hultgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu na mensagem
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I am relatively new to php and am trying to set up a file upload
process for my website. I have read through the php security
documentation and a number of the security-related questions on these
lists and am attempting to implement as many of the measures as
possible.
One of the suggestions I have read is to have the uploaded files saved
somewhere outside of your root directory. Unfortunately I cannot do
that as my root directory is simply www.myDomain.com and not
.public_html/ and I am on a shared server where my root cannot be
changed (I have already asked). So, I am trying to keep the
permissions on my saved_files folder as tight as possible except
when the actual upload occurs. I this as follows:
1) The actual file upload comes through Flash8, and when the user
uploads a file it is sent to
www.domain.com/flash8directory/upload.php, which is in the same
directory as the Flash8 upload application.
2) upload.php first chmod 0740 the saved_files folder (which is
located at www.domain.com/flash8directory/saved_files/). Then it does
security checks to make sure an appropriate image has been uploaded,
and if everything looks good it moves the uploaded file to
saved_files.
3) The Flash8 upload application is notified of the completion of the
upload and downloads the new image it its viewer.
4) Once the download is complete and Flash8 no longer needs to work
with the file, the Flash8 application notifies a separate php script
by sending the variable complete=1 to lockdown.php (located at
www.domain.com/flash8directory/lockdown.php), which runs the following
simple script:
?php
$success = 0;
$complete = $_POST['complete'];
if ($complete==1) {
if(chmod(./saved_files, 0100)) {
success = yes;
echo success=yes;
}
}
?
This script works and saved_files is set to chmod 0100, but here is
the problem. If I then navigate directly to the url of the uploaded
file by entering its path in my
browser(www.domain.com/flash8directory/saved_files/uploadedFile.jpg),
the uploaded file appears in my browser! However, if I then refresh
the browser I get the desired error message saying I do not have
permission to access that file. Also, other browser windows never
have access to view the uploaded file, only the browser from which the
file was uploaded.
Any thoughts on why I can view the uploaded file even though it has
been set to chmod 0100? I'd really rather not have those files
accessible to anyone, as an extra security layer.
Thank you for your help!

I don't think you are doing FTP. I think you mean uploading using an upload form. Just increase the threshold in the php.ini file or set it in the script. Hope this helps.

if (file_exists($filename))
{
// open the file
$handle = fopen($filename, r);
// 1. read the file in line by line
while (!feof($handle))
{
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
// if you were reading a text file you can
// do any operations on each line as you go here
}
// 2. otherwise just read the whole file
// in one go, e.g. for an image.
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
// then you can write to the database or
// do whatever with it here
// close the file
fclose($handle);

$uploadfile2 = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];

print File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ;
} else {
print Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n;
}
//print /pre$uploadfile;
chmod($uploadfile,0777);

But when I use this same code on a different server, it doesn't work as
there seem to be no $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'].
Is $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] something configured by the server (I'm
using Apache on a Linux system), or something default within PHP itself?

[PHP] Re: File Upload Question
As far as I know, this is not possible. You can however generate more file-upload boxes dynamicly. In this way, users can click an 'Upload another file'-button to display an extra upload form-element. Check the 'variable variables'-part in the PHP reference (user notes) for an example of this construction. Hope this is good solution for your application. greetz, Arnout Boks Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef in bericht news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Perhaps this is more about HTML than PHP, but the PHP $_FILES var seems to be set up to allow a list of files to be uploaded.

If you had enable error reporting and checked what errors were reported you
would probably have solved your problem already.
In the form if I trim off the local /PATH/to/file/ it returns successful
and created a 0 byte file where it should. Obviously not what ultimately
needs to happen but Am I supposed have to translate the local path

I don't see anywhere in your form where you have /PATH/to/file/, what are
you referring to?
Also the following is obviously incorrect ...
switch($_FILES['HTTP_POST_FILES']['userfile']['error']){
... it should be ...
switch($_FILES['userfile']['error']){
... and you should have substituted 'userfile' with 'image_upload' as that is
what you're using in your form.
Do yourself a favour, study the example in the manual, get it working,
understand how it works, THEN modify it in small incremental steps until it
does what you want.

If you don't want users to write empty files to your server, why don't you
just stop them ? You can write something like this:

move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'],
$upload_dir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['name']);

The problem is to recognice, when the user try to upload a file, which
doesn't exist. It's possible to even write nonsense like sdafasdf into
the file type input-field (Mozzilla and IE). In that case the current
server writes an empty file named according to the text sdafasdf.
When there is a legal empty file uploaded to the server,
is_uploaded_file() doesn't fail. So, there is no way to recognice, when
the user try upload a nonsense-file.
Can anybody help? I don't know, if it's PHP or Apache causing the
problem. Is there any settings, which could cause this?

function in the server. Is there somebody, who knows?
If you don't want users to write empty files to your server, why don't you
just stop them ? You can write something like this:
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['size']!=0){
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'],
$upload_dir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['name']);
}
else {
echo WARNING: File is zero size !!!br;
}

I'm using:
- Apache 2.0.40 server (linux)
- PHP 4.2.2
I use file uploads in my code, but there occured small problems with the
server update(from Apache 1.3.??, PHP 4.1.2). is_uploaded_file()- and
move_uploaded_file()-functions don't work correctly any more. Or
actually the file upload system doesn't work correctly.
The problem is to recognice, when the user try to upload a file, which
doesn't exist. It's possible to even write nonsense like sdafasdf into
the file type input-field (Mozzilla and IE). In that case the current
server writes an empty file named according to the text sdafasdf.
When there is a legal empty file uploaded to the server,
is_uploaded_file() doesn't fail. So, there is no way to recognice, when
the user try upload a nonsense-file.
Can anybody help? I don't know, if it's PHP or Apache causing the
problem. Is there any settings, which could cause this?

RE: [PHP] Re: File Upload Problem
I've had 2 thoughts on this one. They're fairly uneducated an just meandering speculation, but it's my tuppence-worth so... My initial thought was this: I believe the Content-Type: MIME header is added by your browser. HTTP standards say that anything sending a file over HTTP is supposed to tell the recipient what type of file it's sending. It does this by adding the Content-Type: header at the start of the stream. Normally, PHP will read this header and put it in the $_FILES['userfile']['type'] variable. Perhaps your Linux browser adds the header in such a way that PHP cannot extract it properly, and simply thinks it's part of the file? You could try checking the $_FILES['userfile']['type'] variable to see if it contains the correct MIME type. It then dawned on me that I know either Apache or PHP (can't remember which, possibly both, but most likely Apache) can so some clever stuff where it fills in missing MIME type headers by analysing the file being transferred. It's possible that your Linux browser is not sending a Content-Type: header and so Apache tries to fill one in and it's APACHE that is adding the iffy header that PHP doesn't recognise. Alternatively, it's possible that your browser IS adding the header, but Apache doesn't recognise it, so adds another one. PHP happily extracts the first one, but doesn't spot the second one so it creeps through. Of course, all that could be wrong as I'm not an expert on file uploads, but it might be a place to start looking.

[PHP] Re: File Upload Question...
Your first question. To see that the file uploaded successfully using the
web browser, one would have to have access to your computer's file system.
In her book, she used this merely as an example to show that the file had,
indeed, been uploaded. This should not be used as something that you allow
your web users to do to confirm the receipt of the file. Instead, send them
an email, show them a directory listing, etc.
Your second question, the name given to the image should be whatever the
*value* of the variable used to copy() it. You should, however, come up
with a naming scheme that allows you to ensure that you do not overwrite any
uploaded files--especially if you expect a lot of traffic and/or users using
this feature.
Your third question, the mime-type pjpg is functionally the same as the
mime-type jpeg. There's nothing you need to worry about there.

Merry Christmas everybody.
I am using MS Windows 98 with Apache and following an example in Julie
Meloni's PHP - Fast and Easy (Chapter 10) in which she describes file
uploading using PHP on page 168-174.
She has two files:
1) an html form to receive the input from the user for the file to be
uploaded
2) a .php script to accept the variable and use the copy() function.
.
The scripts are as follows:
(html form)
HTML
HEAD
TITLEUpload a File/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
H1Upload a File/H1
FORM METHOD=post ACTION=do_upload.php ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data
pstrongFile to Upload:/strongbr
INPUT TYPE=file NAME=img1 SIZE=30/p
PINPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submit VALUE=Upload File/p
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
(.php script)
?
if ($img1_name != ) {
@copy($img1, c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name)
or die(Couldn't copy the file.);
} else {
die(No input file specified);
}
?
HTML
HEAD
TITLESuccessful File Upload/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
H1Success!/H1
PYou sent: ? echo $img1_name; ?, a ? echo $img1_size; ?
byte file with a mime type of ? echo $img1_type; ?./P
/BODY
/HTML
..
My questions:
I am able to upload a file from My Documents to the Apache server however
in her book, she describes that the user can verify that the file was
uploaded to the server by going to:
File/ Open Page / in ones web browser to navigate through their filesystem
to
find the file that was uploaded. There is a screenshot in the book that
shows the .jpeg file on the screen with the browser at:
file:///C/Apache/htdocs/blahblah.jpg
I can't seem to verify that the file exists using this method.
The only way I can verify that the file was indeed uploaded is to go into
the folder within Apache that was specified in the path and check there.
*How can I check by going through the browser window?*
Next question:
When I check that the file was uploaded, the file is saved in:
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name
as the *regular *.jpeg name I originally gave it - not the variable -
$img1.
Is this correct? Or, should the file be saved as:
img1?
And the last question:
This is the line I received upon sending the file:
You sent: KewpieSmall.jpeg, a 3127 byte file with a mime type of
image/pjpeg.
In her book, it says:
image/jpeg.
What is:
image/pjpeg.?
Many thanks and best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.

Hi,
Remember 2nd Q: The file is Upload to a temporaly direcory, later you copy from
temporaly (temporaly name) to a final (rename the file) destination.
Under *NIX, I don't if Windows's PHP when upload tthe file, the file is copied to a
temporaly directory.

Hi,
I have an HTML form containing a file upload form object called 'file'.
When I submit the form (either holiding a path to a 1kb file or a 7MB
file) I get the following error:
-
Warning: Max file size of 8 bytes exceeded - file [file] not saved in
Unknown on line 0
-
I had hoped that by changing the upload_max_filesize value in the
php.ini this problem would be resolved, but it hasn't. I expect some
people have had similar problems in the past; can anyone suggest what
the problem is? Some additional info at the foot of this message.
Thanks in advance!
- Best regards,
Lee
Windows 2000; PHP4; Apache V1.3
PHP.INI reads:
-=-=-==-=-=-=-=

[PHP] Re: File upload
Your files are being uploaded to the pre-defined temporary directory.
$userfile contains the name of the temporary file the file was uploaded as.
After you run all the checks on the file to make sure its valid, you should
use copy() to move the file to its permament home in your file system, then
use unlink() to remove the temporary file.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php contains a whole bunch
of information on the topic that may be useful

else

}else

[PHP] Re: File Upload and NT...
Hi, I had this problem. If you say that even without the getimagesize() it is not being uploaded. Then try this. If you declared $the_image in the input type=file name=the_image try using $the_image_name. From the manual this is what I figured out and it works (on linux) In PHP, the following variables will be defined within the destination script upon a successful upload, assuming that register_globals is turned on in php.ini. If track_vars is turned on, they will also be available in PHP within the global array $HTTP_POST_VARS. Note that the following variable names assume the use of the file upload name 'userfile', as used in the example above: * $userfile - The temporary filename in which the uploaded file was stored on the server machine. * $userfile_name - The original name or path of the file on the sender's system.
