RE: [PHP] Re: uploading files... necessary Ajax?
That's correct as far as I know... Ajax would require javascript had access to the data stream of the file you are trying to upload... and that would be a security issue for browsers (or was it because the multipart/form-data encoding? Don't kill me if I'm totally wrong). All in all, the only way to do a file upload I know of is with an iframe or with a SWF technique (which provides a bit more control on the progress of the upload). But any of those techniques will be transaparent to the end user if implemented well (meaning they will not know you are actually using an iframe or a SWF).

Real Time Travel Connections Ok, and what about Security etc? We only talk about speed here. Databases are username password protected. Files stored at the filesystem are unprotected. If you server files directly from the filesystem through Apache, without interaction of PHP you might end up with people uploading all kind of hacks. For example if they upload PHP files, and they get served directly, then the PHP code will probably be executed. Also, if you end up with a lot of files on one big disk (also for RAID 0), it would result in slow speeds for finding the actual data on the disk. Read operations are faster, but for small files, a database would be faster. This is probably not for your project, as you're files are little bit larger.

And databases were created to relate data. So if you're image is related to something, then it follows using your naive logic, that the image belongs in the database. It just so happens that database data usually resides on the filesystem, and thus your logical argument is still met. Thus, continuing to follow along this pendantic semantic path, it makes more sense that the image be in the database since more requirements are fulfilled.

* Marc Serra [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, i want to create a form to upload a file on a server. My problem is that i want to check the filesize before sending it because if the filesize is superior than 2 MB it failed and i don't want to wait for a long time for uploading a file that will fail. Can you please give me a solution to check the filesize. See: http://php.net/features.file-upload Basically, you need a MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden attribute in your form: input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=200 / However, the manual goes on to say: The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field (measured in bytes) must precede the file input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. This is an advisory to the browser, PHP also checks it. Fooling this setting on the browser side is quite easy, so never rely on files with a greater size being blocked by this feature. The PHP settings for maximum-size, however, cannot be fooled. This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too big and the transfer failed. So, adding the above input field is a good first step, but it's not foolproof; you may still get some too large files uploaded that PHP will reject after the fact. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Possibly. But temp files created during execution should be destroyed when the script exists. So either copying or moving shouldn't make any difference.

unfortunately, no. one thing you can do is use javascript to pop up a
small window in your form's onsubmit method that tells the user to hang
on, and then close that window in the next page's onload method. it
isn't easy to do a real progress meter, but even this little bit should
help tremendously.
you may also want to check the md5 sum of the file contents against
previous uploads to detect duplicates.
jim
I've never tried it, but it may also be possible to disable the submit
button once it has been pressed once to stop the second upload e.g.
HTML
HEAD
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
function submitonce()
{
if (document.form.submitted.value == No)
{
document.form.submitted.value == Yes;
return true;
} else {
alert(Please wait...);
return false;
}
}
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY
FORM OnSubmit=return submitonce();
INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=submitted VALUE=No
INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=uploadfile
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT OnClick=return submitonce();
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
N.B. I've set the form's OnSubmit and the submit button's onClick, only
because I'm not sure which will work best.
I'd expect this to work with a normal form submit but maybe file upload is
funny...

[PHP] Re: Uploading Files with PHP
Hi Jim, here's how I do it. I test for the file size on the processing page
as well, if it's too large I redraw out the upload form.
//test for file extension type if needed
//determine file size -- if too big ( greater 50kb) then redirect
$siz = filesize($userfile);
if ($siz = 51200){
//redraw upload form
print font face='verdana' size='2' class='text_size_9'The photo you
attempted to upload was too large in file size. Please ensure that the file
size does not exceed 50kb./font;
print form method='POST' action='photoupload.php'
enctype='multipart/form-data'input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE'

input type='file' name='userfile' size='15' style='font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 8pt;'input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'

print /form;
}
elseif ($siz 51200)
{
$timestamp = time();
$userfile_name = $timestamp.$userfile_name ;
// copy the file being posted

print font face='verdana' size='2' class='text_size_9'Your photo has
been uploaded and is viewable in the photo gallery./fontbrbr ;
}
else
{

encountered during your photo upload./fontbr;
}
$patharola = pics/. $userfile_name;
//connect to db
$connectionToDBid = odbc_connect(dgsff, sdgsdfg, sdfgsdfg);
//create query statement
$sqlr = INSERT INTO PHOTO (golferid, photo, caption, datesubmitted) VALUES

Joe,
Do you know when the file size is checked ??
I think it only gets checked after the form is posted and file uploading
is
finished ??
I don't know how it's possible to catch things before user uploads - now
that would be neat :-)

I have set the upload_tmp_dir=/tempupload is has been chmod to 777,
