Simple File Upload

DRTechie

I am trying to create a simple file upload utility for my website but I keep getting a "no file input specified" error which is telling me that the file is not being passed...I can't figure out why though.

Here's the HTML form

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload Visio File</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
<h3>Upload Visio File</h3></font>
<br>
<p><u>upload instructions</u></p>
<p><font color=red>not working yet...</font></p>

<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="do_upload.php" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

<p><strong>File to Upload:</strong><br><pre>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="img1_name" SIZE="30"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Upload"></p></pre>
<br>
<p><pre> <a href="viewsite.php?site_id=<? echo "$site_id"; ?>">Back</a></p></pre>
</form>
</body>
</html>

PHP Upload Script

<?
if ($img1_name != ""){
@copy ("$img1", "/var/www/html/visio/$img1_name") or die ("Couldn not copy the file.");

} else {
die("No input file specified");
}

?>

I have edited my PHP.INI to read

file_uploads = On
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/html
upload_max_filesize = 2M

both my html & visio directoris have been scmod 777...Help Please, I don't know what else to do....

It depends on your version of PHP. I'm using 4.2.2, and here's a sample upload.php (for use with Oracle):

<html>
<head>
<title>Binary LOB Upload Test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<?
        $lob_upload = $_FILES["lob_upload"]["name"];
        if (empty($lob_upload) || $lob_upload == 'none') {
                print("<form action=\"{$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]}\" method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>\n");
                print("<input type=\"file\" name=\"lob_upload\">&nbsp;&nbsp;\n");
                print("<input type=submit value=\"Upload File\">\n");
                print("</form>\n");
        } else {
                print("<pre>\n");
                var_dump($_FILES);
                print("</pre>\n");

            $sql_blobload =
                    "INSERT INTO blobtest(id, localfile, sentfile, mimetype, filesize, blobdata) " .
                    "VALUES (seq_blobtest_id.NEXTVAL, " .
                                     "'{$_FILES["lob_upload"]["tmp_name"]}', " .
                                     "'{$_FILES["lob_upload"]["name"]}', " .
                                     "'{$_FILES["lob_upload"]["type"]}', " .
                                     "{$_FILES["lob_upload"]["size"]}, " .
                                     "EMPTY_BLOB()) " .
                    "RETURNING blobdata INTO :blobdata";

            print($sql_blobload);

            $dbh = ocilogon(DB_LOGIN, DB_PASSWORD);
            $blob = ocinewdescriptor($dbh);

            $stmt = ociparse($dbh, $sql_blobload);
            ocibindbyname($stmt, ':blobdata', &$blob, -1, SQLT_BLOB);
            ociexecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);

            if($blob->savefile($_FILES["lob_upload"]["tmp_name"])) {
                    ocicommit($dbh);
                    echo "<br><br>Blob successfully uploaded\n";
            } else {
                    echo "<br><br>Couldn't upload Blob\n";
            }

            ocifreestatement($stmt);
            ocilogoff($conn);
    }
?>
</body>
</html>

I am using PHP 4.1.2 running on Linux 7.3. As of right now I am not using a database, just need to get the upload part working first. Thanks.

I am using PHP 3 running on Linux 7.3. As of right now I am not using a database, just need to get the upload part working first. Thanks.

No problem! As you're probably aware, the code I submitted will not work with PHP3.
