File Upload Via Form/Post Times Out ? :(

[Anon]

Hi !

The problem is strange: When i test the form on my machine, where php also running, it is working great. But for other internet users their image file uploads won't go through, but their browser "hangs" and finally times out.
What could be a reason for this strange matter ??

My Form Code:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://www.smallsaints.org:90/uploadtest.php">
<input type="text" name="nickname">
</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
<font size="3"><i><b><font color="#999999">Send this file:</font></b></i></font>
<input name="userfile" type="file">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Gogogogo !!">
</p>
</form>

The 'uploadtest.php' to handle the file is:
<?php
if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) {
copy($userfile, "c://www/userpics/$userfile_name");
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack: filename '$userfile'.";
exit;
}
?>

I assume, it is some security setting or some setting with my webserver (vqserver) which perhaps could block other users to upload their pic to the gallery. But i have no clue and perhaps someone knowing a soolution for this, like i can change something in the form ..

Tx !

i make allways these upload scripts in 1 file (upload form, and the script code together).

you should determine file type ... to avoid uploading i.e. some scripts or viruses or ...

your upload dir for pics should be chmod 666.

<?php
$the_path="uploads/"; # upload dir -> chmod 666
$my_max_file_size="2048000"; # max. file size in bytes (2048000 = 2 M😎

if ($the_file_name)
{
if ($the_file_size > $my_max_file_size)
{
$sizeexceed = ($the_file_size - $my_max_file_size) / 1024;
$sizeexceed = ceil($sizeexceed);
echo "Your file is too big.";
}
else
{
if (!@copy($the_file, $the_path . "/" . $the_file_name))
{
echo "Somehting got wrong. Try later.";
}
}
}

else
{
?>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action=upload.php>
<input type="text" name="nickname">
</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
Send this file:
<input name="the_file" type="file">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Gogogogo !!" name=SubmitAdd>
</p>
</form>

<?php
}
?>

Thank you very much for this input.

So far, it seems not to solve the central problem:
Why can I upload a pic, but users from internet cannot ? Their IE simply stucks trying to upload ... like it would last forever.

Some thing must "block" their upload attempts. But I have no clue who or what could be responsible for this.

I use win2000.

Best regards,
Soccy.
