PHP :: Cannot Create File When Uploading

Uploading One File Works, But Uploading Two Results In 'Connection Interrupted'
I'm running PHP 5.2.3 via fastcgi. When I upload one file via a form,
it works perfectly. When I try to upload two files, however, I get the
'Connection Interrupted / The network link was interrupted while
negotiating a connection. Please try again.' message. The file sizes
aren't an issue as I checked the max post size, etc.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

Uploading Images/create Thumbnails
I've been trying to Uploading Images/create Thumbnails to insert into my DB. I get so many errors when running this code. Code:

Uploading A File And Stripping Things From The File Name
Me again with a variation on the earlier problem.

I need to strip illegal characters out of an uploaded photo now. I am
trying this without results:

$photofile=ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:]+$]", "", $_POST['photo']);.....

Uploading A File.
Trying to upload a file ( gif or jpg image) to a server. The 'upload_tmp_dir' is not defined so, I'm assuming that the file is in either /var/tmp or /tmp. I can't seem to get a valid file handle. Even the variables that are suposed to be defined ( $UploadFile_name, $UploadFile_size, and $UploadFile_type) are all not defined.

Uploading File
My code :

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type=file name=filename>
bla bla
</form>

then in upload.php I want to copy this file to the server using fopen, fread, etc. No problem with that. The problem is in the filename. Example :

the client file : 'Catatest.txt' then I want the file in my server named test.txt But I found that after the form submitted, the $filename is changed. It's not 'Catatest.txt' anymore but something like '/tmp/phpBWiOoT' How can I get the full path of the client's filename after the form is submitted?

Uploading A File
I have a page with submit form for resumes, it also gives the applicants the opportunity to submit their resumes with their application which will save to a specially created directory. However, i am trying to upload the file and it is giving me an error message saying it can't upload properly. This is the code i am using:

if ($userfile){
echo "nnn";
if (copy($userfile,"/services/webpages/j/e/jessie.bluegenesis.com/private/$userfile_name"))

{ echo ("<B>Resume received: Thank you!</B>"); }
else {
echo ("<B>Error saving resume.</B>" .
"However, your application will still
be processed.");}}

[FAQ] File Uploading
Q: How should I handle file upload?
A: File uploading requires HTML form of content type
"multipart/form-data". The file content has to be POSTed/submitted via
the form and once the file is uploaded, it will be available at the
"upload_tmp_dir" (usually /tmp) directory. Then you may move that file
to another directory using move_uploaded_file(); file name will be
available in the superglobal $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'].

Q: How to upload a huge file to the server?
A: Uploading depends on various factors:
1. Browser timeout/capacity/configuration
2. Available space and memory at the server
3. PHP's setting to handle uploads and POST data

In most of the cases, you could be able to adjust only the (3)

Q: How to implement progress/status bar for file uploading?
A: This is impossible in PHP as it doesn't populate HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
natively. Anyway, there are few hacks available:
1. Patching PHP <http://pdoru.from.ro/upload-progress-meter/>
2. Using Perl <http://www.raditha.com/php/progress.php>
3. Finding the size of "upload_tmp_dir" directory at some interval,
originally suggested by Reader Ron in
<news:42f90a1a.0402252007.72d72cba@posting.google.c om>
Caveats:
There is no speculation that patching solution will be implemented
natively in PHP.
(3) seems to be the only pure PHP hack; however it won't work when
multiple files are been uploaded at the same time.

I need to have scripts set up in order for my website to work properly. Problem is I don't have the slightest idea how to go about setting up the scripts for my website - didn't even know what scripts were until a couple days ago.

Problem With Uploading File Php
I'm trying to write a php upload script, but always something wrong with it. Everytime I upload something, it always say:

Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/test/upload.php on line 16

I chmod the folder to 777 mkdir("$path/"$userlogin", 0777);

Part of the form code...

Simple File Uploading
I have the "test" directory CHMOD'd to 0777. When submit is pressed, I am simply taken back to the base page (within the else portion of the script) as if I had hit reload instead of submit. Any ideas as to why nothing is being uploaded and the script is not executing as it is supposed to?:

Uploading File Size
I have a site where our users can upload files that are 500mb + in size. We have been using a java program to do this. There are some things that we want to do differently and so I have been looking at using a php script to upload the files with. I know with a basic form you can upload and send the file via a POST $_FILES but from what I have read that starts to get unpredictable once you start working with larger file sizes. I also know php has built in FTP commands but I am not sure if this is the best route to go or not.

File Uploading - Indepth
I now know how to upload a file. (to my test server at least.) I now need to put the files uploaded by users into their own directories. Here is my situation:

A user wants to create a new gallery of images. They have up to 20 image file locations and names to put with those images. There is also a field called item_name. WHat I woud like to do is this: The page will see item_name and create a directory under the images directory to place thsoe images. Another function will store the imege name and image location into a myswl database for displaying later.

My books say that the files are temporarily store the files in a temp location and are destroyed if not moved somewhere else. I want to place those files in the directory named after the item_name variable.

I tried to use the mkdir() function {makedir($item_name)} but that didn't work. The mode paramteter is missing. My books (PHP 4 Bible and Beginning PHP4) don't explain how to set the mode to make this work.

File Uploading/Postback
I attempted to perform a file upload via Ajax and avoid the problems of a postback, but I finally got too tired and just went the normal form-postback route. The problem is, in my case, you are uploading photos which are to be linked (or inserted) to a selected row of a visual representation of an sql table. Of course, after the postback the selected table row (along with all other fields) are reset and I have no way of knowing which record to associate the uploaded file to. Code:

Getting A Filename Without Uploading The File?

Questions About Uploading File

there's a $_FILE['userfile']['name'], but it only give me the name not
the path.

Creating A Zip/rar File When Uploading
when a user uploads a file to my site i was first of all wanting to put the file into a zip/rar file for easier downloading i havce this so far:

$fileContents = file_get_contents(uploads/$filename);
$createZip -> addFile($fileContents, $filename);
$fileName = "$filename.zip";

Uploading A File To Another Server
I currently have 1 server on a local network hosting a site but the net connection can no longer take keep up with the bandwidth. I was thinking of making a mirror of my site and push all of the large files to the second server thats at another company.

Therefore i'd have www1.mysite.com which has our databases etc and core files.
and www2.mysite.com would store all the images, videos etc.

The problem is that the uploads need to happen on my server because I have a bunch of patches on my PHP that the other hosts dont that my upload scripts require to show the amount of a file uploaded etc.

Is there a way to upload directly to another server? Or is it possible to upload to server 1, then automatically ftp it to server 2, then delete from server 1?

File Uploading Alternatives
I am developing a site where the user will need the ability to upload files to the server. These files could be up to 100MB in size. Unfortunately the server's PHP settings have an upload limit of 20MB so my upload form won't work on larger files. I have contacted the hosting company asking for the limit to be increased but they have said that it is not possible. I also have tried modifying the limit locally via a php.ini file and a .htaccess file, both of which have had no effect.

I have heard about using php's ftp functions as an alternative upload method although im not sure if this is possible without modifying the max upload setting.

Does anyone have any ideas of how i can upload large files without being able to modify the php settings?

Uploading File To Attach To Email
I need to create a page that will upload a file and attach it to an email that

there an easy way to do this?

Verifying If A File Exists Before Uploading
I have a script which uploads a file the user selects. To provide some protection against unintentional overwriting I'd like to use file_exists to determine whether the file already resides on the server.

If the file is already on the server, I want the user prompted to either overwrite or cancel. This is all very simple, but here's the problem:

Being that the "if (file_exists($x)" statement will occur before the copy statement, I lose the tmp file when the forms change (between the original upload form and the prompt informing the uploader that the file will be overwritten). I'm really not interested in the additional overhead of copying a second file just to remove it later. Is there a way to do this without copying the file twice? Ideally, I'd like to do this is javascript with something like a confirm statement, however, javascript is client side and these files reside on the server I don't think that's an option either.

Uploading .png And Can't Determine File Type?
I'm currently creating a page where users can upload images and the server will save them to their respective places, but I've run into a snag of sorts.

I currently check to make sure that the file being uploaded is an Image file, but only jpg/gif/png. If it is not one of those three, it rejects the upload. If it is, it will save the file to the server. Now my problem is that when a PNG is uploaded, there's no filetype associated with it. If I check the jpg and gif, I'll get image/jpg and image/gif respectively, but when I check the png, I get nothing, there's nothing returned. Does anyone have any suggestions or maybe seen this before?

Also, I don't want to go and allow any image type to be uploaded. I'd really prefer to allow only those three types.

Determining File Size While Uploading
I know you can't get the file size before the file is uploaded (or so I've heard while searching through this forum). But I need help finding a solution/alternative. I currently have a form that will upload a file to a specific directory on my server. I also plan on INSERTING information to a MySQL table when the file is submitted. Among the information, is the size of the image...

Any ideas? I think if I store the uploaded file in a variable first, that may work...but I don't know where to begin to do that. I will be building on this script so that it will automatically create thumbnail images if the file uploaded is an image. Can you think of any pitfalls I may encounter?

If I were to store an image's height and width in seperate variables, how would I compare the size of of the two ( if $height is greater than $width, then .. ). I also plan on using the imagecopyresampled() to create thumbnails. Is there away to take the sample from the center 100px X 100px of the image? What does ImageCopyResampleBicubic () do? Note, I don't have access to Imagemagick.
