Can only upload .txt files

RussellC

Hey everyone,

I have basically written a CRM system from the ground up to handle all of the calls and jobs that come into the company I work for. Part of it includes attaching files to the individual jobs. It is working completely fine for .txt files only. I can upload any file size plain text file up too about 200MB if I have to. My problem lies with other file types. If I upload a .zip file or .doc file it uploads it but changes the file size and corrupts it. I can't figure out why this is happening for the life of me.

My server is Redhat 8.0 with php 4.2.2 and apache 2.0.40.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help.

I am assuming that since you say you can upload files up to 200MB that you have already made the conf changes in php.ini since the default upload limit is 2M (maybe 4M, i forget but surely not 200M😎.

So with that said, what does your code look like? (sounds like that is where the problem could be)

Yes I set the maxfilesize etc.. to 200MB. Here is the code.

if ($userfile != "" || $userfile != NULL) {
$upfile = "/var/www/html/filelistings/" . $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$upfile2 = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];
copy($userfile, $upfile);
$filesql = "UPDATE jobs SET
filelistings = '$upfile2' WHERE jobnumber = $jobnumber";
if (@($filesql)) {
echo("");
}
}

I think it has to something with uploading in ASCII and not Binary. Is there a way to check what mode it is uploading in.

I changed the code with no luck...someone has got to know how to fix this. Here is the basic code right now:

<?php
if (!isset($changestatus)) {
?>

<form method="POST" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" />
<input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input name="changestatus" type="submit" value="SUMBIT" />
</form>

<?php
} else {

if ($userfile != "" || $userfile != NULL) {
echo("Error Code: " . $FILES['userfile']['error'] . "<br />");
echo("File Size: " . $FILES['userfile']['size'] . "<br />");
echo("MIME Type: " . $FILES['userfile']['type']);
move_uploaded_file($userfile, "/var/www/html/filelistings/" . $FILES['userfile']['name']);
echo("<br />Done");
}
}
?>

Now when I run it the file uploads fine, but the file size is about twice the size of the original file unless it is a plain/text file. .txt files work fine.

This is the output i get uploading a 156129 byte image:
