Corrupt Uploads with php4.3.0

krastin

I have been working with this problem for a while now without any success. I am running Redhat 8.0 and have upgraded to php4.3.0 and apache2.0.40 (from what I read, I thought my problem would be solved by this but not the case)

My problem:

When I do a client upload of a file such as a .jpg image, the file seems to get padded when it is stored on the server. For example, I have a .jpg that is 11k on the client side but ends up being 19k on the server. (client is Windows XP and server is Redhat Linux) The image displays but image quality is signifcantly degraded. (definitely corrupted)

This same code was working fine when running php3 code levels, but has broken since moving to the php4.x series. Below is my example code snipet. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

<form method=POST enctype='multipart/form-data' action='/upload.php'>
Add another photo to a Boat photo ad...<hr>
<input type=hidden name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value=200000>
Photo: <input type='file' name='photo'>
<input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='16134'>
<br><br><input type='submit' value='Upload ...'>
</form>
</body>
</html>

We've got the very same problem. Exactly the same setup. Have you find the source of the problem?

No, unfortunately I did not find the source of the problem. I ended up changing the extensions to .php3 which solved the problem. If anyone does find a better solution, I would love to hear it!

not too sure with that little bit of your snippet, but why do you have to hidden fields named MAX_FILE_SIZE and they have different values, interesting...

I had the same problem--- my machine is setup identically to the one you described:

First page:
<form action="upLoadFile.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Add File">
</form>

Second page: (upLoadFile.php)
<?php
$uploadFileName = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $dataDir.$uploadFileName);
?>

This is the script that I always use - all in one and just make sure it's called upfile.php in your web root folder.

<HTML> 
<HEAD> 

<?php if (!isset($formtemp)) { ?>
<TITLE>File Uploading Interface</TITLE> 
</HEAD> 
<BODY> 
<TABLE> 
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" NAME=MyForm ACTION=upfile.php METHOD="POST"> 
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=formtemp value=1>
<TR><TD>Choose File</TD><TD><INPUT NAME="MyFile" 
TYPE="File"></TD></TR> 
<TR><TD COLSPAN="2"><INPUT NAME="submit" VALUE="Submit" 
TYPE="submit"></TD></TR> 
</TABLE> 

<?php } else { ?>

<? 
If($MyFile != "none") { 
copy($MyFile,"$MyFile_name"); 
unlink($MyFile); 
} 
else { 
echo"You did not upload any file"; 
} 
?> 

<?php } ?>

</BODY> 
</HTML>
