[PHP] Problem uploading files other than text/plain ones
Hello guys
I'm trying to do a simple task: upload files. However, when I try to upload files
other than text/plain ones I get an empty $_FILES array. Is there anything I've got
to modify in my php.ini file? I'm just following the expample in the php manual, the
only thing different is that I process the upload task with a function:
function upload_file($_POST, $_FILES)
{
//The same code as in the php manual
return true; //If everything went ok
}
if (upload_file($_POST, $_FILES))
echo The file has been uploaded;
else
echo Sorry, try again;
It works fine with text/plain files, so, am I overlooking anything here?
Thanks a lot

You know about the php.ini option upload_max_filesize? Perhaps its default value is not enough for your task? Greeting from Keith Aachen, Germany -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Wilmar,
Check whether you have something similar:
form action=auth-x.php method=post enctype=multipart/form-data
You'll definetly need that for antything other than text/plain ones..
Here's a some code that works for me (uploading jpgs):
if ($_FILES[pix][size] 0){
if ($_FILES[pix][type] == image/jpeg){
$pix_file = $_FILES[pix][name];
$pix_temp_file = $_FILES[pix][tmp_name];
$new_pix_file = new_name.jpg;
if(is_uploaded_file($pix_temp_file)){
move_uploaded_file($pix_temp_file, pix/$new_pix_file);
}
}
}
Hth,
Andre

[PHP] Problem uploading files
Hello guys
This is my first post to the list, hope you can give point me to the right
direction.
Well, I've been trying to upload a file without much success so far.
All I get is my firs error message: There is no file to send (shown in the
script).
This is my form:
form enctype=multipart/form-data name=book_add method=post
action=.$PHP_SELF.?management=5
input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=2000
table width=100% border=0 bgcolor=#CC
tr
td width=51%Book Name:/td
td width=49%input type=text name=form_title size=40/td
/tr
tr
td width=51%File:/td
td width=49%input type=file name=formfile/td
/tr
tr align=center
td width=51%input type=reset name=reset value=Clean/td
td width=49%input type=submit name=submit value=Add new book/td
/tr
/table
/form
And this is the script that handles the data:
if ($formfile == none)
{
echo There is no file to send;
exit;
}
if ($formfile_size == 0)
{
echo Bad file size;
exit;
}
if ($formfile_type != application/pdf)
{
echo Non a PDF file;
exit;
}
if (!is_uploaded_file($formfile))
{
echo Warning!!!;
exit;
}
$upfile = /var/www/bva/new/pdf/.$formfile_name;
if (!copy($formfile, $upfile))
{
echo There was a problem moving the file to the repository;
exit;
}
else
{
echo New book has been uploaded;
exit;
}
Thanks a lot for your help.

Re: [PHP] Problem uploading files
A few observations:
if ($formfile == none)
{
echo There is no file to send;
exit;
}
for starters, I don't see how $formfile could ever be none... secondly, if
you have register_globals set to off in your php.ini, $formfile wont' even
be a variable, but you've only sent what looks like partial code, so I can't
be sure.
Can I recommend you try to get the perfectly good, working example of file
uploads working that is available on this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/printwn/features.file-upload.php
Once you get it working, you can tweak it to suit your needs, rather than
reinventing the wheel over and over... just improve on it.

Re: [PHP] Problem uploading files
Hello Justin, thanks for your comments. Well just to answer your questions: 1. I've got register_globals set to ON. I have never had problem before with my forms, but this is the first time I try to upload a file. 2. I'm following the sample code you recommend. They're in fact pretty simmilar . Thanks a lot again. *** Wilmar Pérez Network Administrator Library System Tel: ++57(4)2105145 University of Antioquia Medellín - Colombia 2002 *** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] problem uploading files
I have a problem with file uploads in php. My code seems to run fine if I am on the local area network but seems to fail when I try from the outside. My server seems to time out. I suspect that the problem could be with the firewall but am unsure. I have php_safe directive off in the php.ini file and at one time I was able to upload files but cannot figure out what has changed. I am currently using RH 7.1, apache 1.3.20 and php 4.0.6.
