php3 file upload

[Anon]

I can do this with php4, but I'm trying to restore a project onto a development server running php3. I more or less have to prove that the code worked back then. I'm running tests on just the upload ability now, and in its basest form,it still doesn't jive.

I have no clue if the apache/php installation is the same, so please tell me if there is installation flag that I should have included. The error I get in Netscape is "The document contains no data. Try again later, or contact the server's administrator". IE tells me "The page cannot be displayed".

code (testup.php3):

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="testdown.php3" METHOD=POST>
<input type="text" name="color" value="red" size="16"><br>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>

code (testdown.php3):
<? print "$color<br>\n"; ?>

sorry, but the bottom half of your posting is missing so nobody can read the code for testdown.php3.
judging by the errors you get from the browser the page is not even getting passed to the php engine so it looks like a config problem. if you havn't got access to the config file for both servers have you tried
<?php
print phpinfo();
?>
run this page on both servers and you should get a nice html page showing the php setup.

hope this helps

all the code for testdown.php3 was there.

I have access to the config file, and I can recompile if necessary. All of the other php3 pages work just fine. It's just that this page with the file upload html doesn't work. I was thinking that the enctype was an issue, but that's the standard way to do file uploads, and that's what the code on the working version used.

The code should not have to be changed since it was last known to work before taking it down. The server is what I am questioning now, and I need assistance in figuring out what apache/php setting isn't correct or is missing.

oh i see sorry, your just trying to print the value of $color.
o.k.
$color must be empty so nothing is being returned, try this
check to see if gpc_globals is enabled. this allows variables passed via post to be accessable as individual variables which is what your trying to access or try
$HTTP_POST_VARS[color]
see if that works
