Upload Script

deeeee

I have this major problem with my upload script. It works perfectly on my personal server and uploads to what ever directory I state but when I run it on other servers it refuses to upload. I have made sure that the php.ini files has the correct settings.
Any help will be appreciated!

Here is the script I have used.

Form

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
SELECT A FILE:<input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="UPLOAD"><br/>
</form>

Script

<?php

$loc = "./files/";

include("common.inc");
error_reporting(0);

//Full file path
$uploadfile = $loc. $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
echo "File: ";
echo $uploadfile;

//if file is greater than 2MB do not upload and send error message
if (($_FILES['userfile']['size']) > $max)
{
printf("<br><br><b> Error: File size is greater than 2 megabytes</b><br/>");
exit;
}

//upload file status and file details
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}
else
{
print "Unable to upload File! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
}
?>

Have you checked the versions of the servers? Ie what's it working on? What's it not working on?

What does it do/not do when it doesn't work? Do you get a messge of some form? If so, what does it say?

deeeee

Thanks for you reply.

Yes I have checked the versions on the servers the personal servers I have tried them on run the latest version of php and an earlier version PHP4.3.2 and PHP4.2.3.
The other main servers (university server) runs PHP4.2.3 and PHP4.0.

When I run it and it gets to the if statement, it always gives the:
'Unable to upload File! Here's some debugging info:\n' message as below.

//upload file status and file details
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'
], $uploadfile))
{
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}
else
{
***print "Unable to upload File! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
}

I wonder if I am using the correct path to upload. on the main uni servers I use:
$loc = "/spare/apache/htdocs/studdocs/c000000/files/";

is that right?

What are the operating systems of the different servers that you want to use?

If you have a Linux server and the upload is working, then the upload paths will be different on a Windows server.

For example, Windows servers use the directory format as "\" where as Linux uses "/".

So to use windows sever:

$winUploadDir = "c:\uploads\";

To use Linux server:

$linuxUploadDir = "/usr/local/www/uploads/";

I hope that helps,

drawmack

also check the permissions on the directories

deeeee

I am able to create files and folders on the server
but it doesn't allow uploads to the same directory.

OS: Unix
Webserver: Apache

Just to repeat what drawmack said, check your directory permissions.

I recently created an upload script and had to chmod the directory I move the uploaded files into to 777 for it to work. Although you may have permission to create files and folders the user your PHP script runs under may not.

For This To Work Just,
1. Paste Script on Page And Name uploader.php
2. Make A Folder Named uploads
3. Go To uploader.php To Upload Off That Page
4. Go To The Folder uploads.php To See What They Uploaded

SCRIPT

<?php 
$Admin[UploadNum] = "10";  // Number of upload fields to put on the html page 
$Admin[Directory] = "uploads";   

if($FileUpload) { 
for ($Number = 1; $Number <= $Admin[UploadNum]; $Number++){ 
$PictureFirst = "fileup$Number"."_name";//Set format for variable $OriginalFileName 
$OriginalFileName = $$PictureFirst;//Somehow outputs the original file name. 
$SetFormatTempFile = "fileup$Number";//Set format for variable $TemporaryFile 
$TemporaryFile = $$SetFormatTempFile; 
    if($TemporaryFile != "none") { 
    $Filesizebtyes = filesize($TemporaryFile); 
    $ok = 1; 
        if($Filesizebtyes < 10) { 
        $error .= "Error uploading (file size lower than 10 bytes) for file $Number<BR>"; 
        $ok = 2; 
        } 
    if(file_exists("$Admin[Directory]/$OriginalFileName") OR $ok == 2) { 
    $error .="File name already exists for file $Number<BR>"; 
    } else { 
    copy ($TemporaryFile, "$Admin[Directory]/$OriginalFileName"); 
    $error .="File $Number has been uploaded<BR>"; 
    } 
        } 
} 
if(!$error) { 
$error .= "No files have been selected for upload"; 
} 
echo $error; 
exit(); 
} else { 
echo "<form enctype=\"multipart/form-data" action=\"uploader.php" method=\"post">\n"; 
for ($Number = 1; $Number <= $Admin[UploadNum]; $Number++){ 
echo "<input name=\"fileup$Number" type=\"file" size=\"25">\n";      

} 
echo "<input name=\"FileUpload" type=\"submit" value=\"Upload Files">\n"; 
exit(); 
} 
?>

Happy To Help 🙂

Upload Files!
1. Make Folder Named uploads
2. Paste On A Paste And Name It uploader.php
3. Go To uploader.php To Upload Files

<?
$Admin[UploadNum] = "10"; // Number of upload fields to put on the html page 
$Admin[Directory] = "uploads"; 
if($FileUpload) { 
for ($Number = 1; $Number <= $Admin[UploadNum]; $Number++){ 
$PictureFirst = "fileup$Number"."_name";//Set format for variable $OriginalFileName 
$OriginalFileName = $$PictureFirst;//Somehow outputs the original file name. 
$SetFormatTempFile = "fileup$Number";//Set format for variable $TemporaryFile 
$TemporaryFile = $$SetFormatTempFile; 
if($TemporaryFile != "none") { 
$Filesizebtyes = filesize($TemporaryFile); 
$ok = 1; 
if($Filesizebtyes < 10) { 
$error .= "Error uploading (file size lower than 10 bytes) for file $Number<BR>"; 
$ok = 2; 
} 
if(file_exists("$Admin[Directory]/$OriginalFileName") OR $ok == 2) { 
$error .="File name already exists for file $Number<BR>"; 
} else { 
copy ($TemporaryFile, "$Admin[Directory]/$OriginalFileName"); 
$error .="File $Number has been uploaded<BR>"; 
} 
} 
} 
if(!$error) { 
$error .= "No files have been selected for upload"; 
} 
echo $error; 
exit(); 
} else { 
echo "<form enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"uploader.php\" method=\"post\">\n"; 
for ($Number = 1; $Number <= $Admin[UploadNum]; $Number++){ 
echo "<input name=\"fileup$Number\" type=\"file\" size=\"25\">\n";
