upload file problem

yshcams

Hello,

I use an example from php document
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

However, the command print_r($_FILES) gives empty array, the same is true for print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES).

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

If you post the code you used I can help you out.

Thanks,

The code I used is :

form.php

process.php

<?php
// In PHP earlier then 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead of $_FILES.
// In PHP earlier then 4.0.3, use copy() and is_uploaded_file() instead of move_uploaded_file

$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/'; // change the dir

print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
} else {
print "Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}

What output do you get when you submit the form to process.php?

What version of PHP are you running?

Do you have root access on the server?

The output is :

Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:
Array

WHAT PHP VERSION?

LOCAL WINDOWS MACHINE?

REMOTE LINUX SERVER?

DO YOU HAVE ADMIN/ROOT ACCESS IF REMOTE SERVER?

I use php 4.3 in windows.

I have changed the directory of example to the one in my computer.

What is the path you are using? Have you used "/" instead of "\"?

Please post the code exactly as you have it in your test script and put it between [ PHP ] and [ /PHP ] tags.

$uploaddir = 'C:/sokkit/site/test/';
print_r($FILES); // for test
print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {

print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);

print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);

Your code looks fine. Check the following in your php.ini -

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M
