File Upload Issue - Unable To Upload A Large File
I am using PHP Version 4.4.3 under Linux/Apachie to upload files. The PHP.ini upload_max_filesize is 2M, which I need to override this in the HTML (see below). I changed the MAX_FILE_SIZE to 4,000,000 but the system only accepts files less than 2M. Is the override wrong, do I need to raise the limit in the PHP.ini file, or is the Apachie issue. <form name="upload" action="admin.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4000000">

File Upload NOT Using HTML Input Type=file
in an earlier post on the javascript forum i was talking about a small program i'm writing to allow file uploads through the http protocol that look and function similar to a ftp client. I have made some nice progress on this project and am able to return the FSO collection from the client pc. this allows me to list of directories on the page so users can select multiple files to upload at once or even entire directories.

Upload File Issue
First of all I am rather new into PHP. I use php 5 and I am putting together a web site for a local association I belong too. Most of the site is okay, except for this problem : I need to be able for the member of the site to upload files (gif, jpg or pdf). After reading a lot about the danger of file uploading, I decided to create a folder at the root of the web server. The upload of the files goes on without any problem, but when i tried to show some of the file (such as the image files), the system does not retrieve them. Here is the the tree of my web server : /. /website (folder where all of the web site is build with *.php files) /uploads /images (folder where all the images files are uploaded) /pdf (files where all the pdf files are uploaded) The bit of code doing the uploads works fine, but I can not find a way to retrieve the files. When I code in the php file : echo '<img src="../uploads/images/test.gif">' The browser is in fact looking for a file name www.mywebsite.com/uploads/images/test.gif which of course does not exist.

File Upload Issue
I have a script that uploads files to my server. The script file is in the same directory as where I want the uploaded files stored. Does anyone know the syntax to tell the upload process to look in the same directory. I have the path $target_dir = "upload/"; and then $target_path = $target_dir . $filename; The code crashes when it comes to: if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target_path))

PHP File Upload Issue
I am attempting to upload files via. PHP 4.4.4. The '$_FILES['update']['tmp_name'][0]' resolves to '/tmp/phpey9MpD', but when I go to the /tmp dir. I do not see any php* file. Could this be a issue with PHP or unix permissions for the web server? Code:

PHP/MySQL File Upload Issue
I have a working script where I upload a textfile to my server, then read it into my mysql database. I have only written this as a trial system so far, but it works apart for one thing I cant understand. When I upload a file to my site (its a development box I have full control of) via ftp and read the file in to MySQL using the LOAD DATA.... command, the file is written to the table perfectly (or if I execute my php script to read data from file -> dbase). However when I upload it via my browser to the same directory on the server, the file somehow gets altered - and then when I insert the values into my table, the alignment is all a mess, whether I use my php script or the MySQL command line to insert the data file. If I download the browser-uploaded file via ftp or view it in vi on my server, it looks fine... The contents of the file (plain text file, created in vi, notepad, anything) are just 2 things - a date and an item (both varchar fields) e.g. 021904 webmasterworld 021904 testing ... etc The seperation string between the date and name has been tested as a space and a tab, neither fixes my problem. I have used a lot of different variants in my php insert statement - from simply "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/$myfile' INTO TABLE record (date, name)"; to trying FIELD TERMINATED BY etc - perhaps I just haven't hit the right combination yet? Anyway to sum up:

Image Upload Wrong File Type
I make an image, save it as a bmp. If I change the file extention to a .jpg it changes. My site allows for uploads of jpg, gif, and png. Since the above is actually a bmp, and some one tries to upload it with the jpg file extention, I get this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefrombmp() in /home/.marble/ryannaddy/tzfiles.com/guestLoad.php(11) : eval()'d code on line 1 How can I stop that error from showing, and make my own error message saying somthing about it still being a bmp file, or exe, or html, etc. and only jpg, gif, and png are allowed?

Verify Mime Type Of Upload File
In light of recent security concerns over PHP I've become extra paranoid. I was going to let users upload a CSV of their data for importing (eg: mailing list addresses) but I can't think of a way to verify that the uploaded file is actually a text file, or what the repercussions might be of trying to open a file of unknown type and trying to read it as CSV.

MIME-TYPE Issue?
I wrote a script that creates an email with 2 attachments. The PDF-attachment is no problem at all. The second one is supposed to be a message, which then can be opened and sent from any mail program. Now I ran into trouble... The script and everything works fine using Outlook as reciepent. Netscape 6.2. just doesn't seem to recognize the attachment and opens the browser instead of the mail application to show it's content. I'm aware that this might not be a PHP-related problem.

Issue With Module Type
We are trying to use php through the command line on a fedora core 6 box. When we run our program we get the following error. Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0 PHP compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0 These options need to match. I am not sure where to start looking for the problem, as all of the programs were just compiled 2 days ago, with the latest updates. This problem happens in both PHP4.4.4 and 5.2.x.

Image Upload Unlink Issue
I have a site that uploads and formats an image to my website. Currently, when I add new, it uploads the image and names it by the ID associated with the subject (ie. 8.gif). The problem occurs when I go to modify the data. The current code I have unlinks the original URL then adds a new image with no name and just the .gif extension. It is supposed to remove the old image, replace the new and reset the link. Can someone look at my code and see if they see anything wrong? Code:

To Get A File Name, File Size, File Type...?
Is there a way to get information about a file BEFORE it is submitted to the server? I am trying to make a upload progress bar from scratch WITHOUT THE PRON.C PHP FIX!!! I found the file being uploaded in my NET://WINN01910//TEMP folder and I can outputs its file size in a popup with a one second refrehs, but this makes it so the USER needs to know the full file size to know if its anywehre near done. Is there a way to get the filesize from the clients side? Possibly javascript that uses ajax to submit the values to the server before the file is sent but when it is selected?? Is there an easier way to do this and/or do you have any ajax example code of how it might work? I also have another problem, Althoguh i can echo the filesize of what is recieved so far, I am just glob()ing the temp folder for: "php*.tmp" but is there a way to tell the tmp file so they don't see everyone's uploads?

Determine The Type Of A File (gif Or Jpg)
I've written a very basic CMS using a PHP database thing (no MySQL). It lets me update a list of 5 descriptive texts, each relating to an image which is shown next to the text. At the moment, my HTML looks like this (simplified): <tr><td><img src="images/Picture1.gif"></td></tr> <tr><td><img src="images/Picture2.jpg"></td></tr> <tr><td><img src="images/Picture3.jpg"></td></tr> <tr><td><img src="images/Picture4.gif"></td></tr> <tr><td><img src="images/Picture5.gif"></td></tr> which is very inelegant as I have to repeat all the information. I've already written the script to create the 5 table rows dynamically, using a "for" loop with the counting variable $i, so that I can simply write one row and substitute the Picture number with the variable: PHP Code:

Checking File Type
I have a page where I can update some entries in a MySQL database and add a picture. The name of the file (added a timestamp) is stored in the database and the file it self in a directory. I have no problems in the uploading part or in database, but when i tried to add file type checking part it went wrong. The only allowed type should be .jpg/jpeg, but even though it is possible to upload that type something strange happens when trying to upload a non .jpg: It don't return the $mess ("Wrong file-type"), but instead it jumps to the "IF($img == "none") part and inserts the text in database (which it shouldn't) as if the $img is empty!

Input Type = File
If an input field of type 'file' is left blank, what is returned as the varible? I'm having a problem, I have two file fields and want to be able to do the following: 1. Put in the $file1_name and $file2_name (if there was a file uploaded) into a database so I can reference it later. 2. Copy the uploaded file (if, in fact, there was a new one uploaded) to a directory. 3. Later on, if someone wants to edit that entry and wants to upload a new file for the 2nd slot, or 1st for that matter or delete a file, it should do that with no difficulty. I'm running into problems when it reaches the 'if' clause. I've tried: if ($var){ and if($var != ''){ and no matter what, for some reason these blank file fields alwasy evaluate true to my if statements, so I get an error like 'can't open file 'none' for blah blah'.

File Type Validation
I am writing a script for uploading files. I want the script to only accept certain filetypes, in order to avoid any bad content. I figured I could do it by checking the MIME-type, or perhaps the file-ending. However, there are quite a number of filetypes I would like to allow, and so I am wondering if I could get some pointers to a more elegant solution than simply "brute-forcing" my way through all the different filetypes.?

'.' . $file[1]; // renaming it and then adding the file type back to save the file I'm trying to retrieve the file type seperately and then rename it.

File Type/extension
Ive been trying to figure this out for a while now but I just can't find a function that does it the way it SHOULD. For example, if there is a file in a directory that has the extension *.php or *.html it would echo "php" or "html" . This way when a member of the site tries to edit a file and save it as *.php the file manager will warn them that they cannot have that file type. I've tried using filetype() but that returns information that is irrelavant.

MIME Type Of Mp3 File
I'm uploading mp3 files and ofcourse checking the MIME type, and I would expect that the MIME type would be audio/mpeg or audio/x-mpeg. But, instead of that it recognizes the mp3 file as application/octet-stream. How can that be? I deffinetly not want to allow that type as it would create a mayor security issue. checking for extension is also no option; that's easely bypassed. Does it have something to do with de ID3v2 information in the beginning of the file? i know octet has got something to do with 7-bit stuff, and in ID3v2 tags are syncsave using 7-bit bytes.

Finding File Type
What is the best way to find out a file type of a certain file? I have a script I wrote that handles uploads, and I read somewhere (can't remember where) that relying on $_FILES['fileID']['type'] is not completely safe. The files for the particular project I'm working on will just be images, jpegs to be exact, but I would like to write this in such a way that I can use it for other file types in the future (like zip files).
