Re: [PHP] Problem uploading files other than text/plain ones
Hi Wilmar,
Check whether you have something similar:
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

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
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
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.
