[Resolved] Chekcing file type: not wrking on linux...

[svenski]

Any help on this appreciated. The follwoing code works on my IIS server but not my linux server, any ideas?

---

<?

if ($userfile=="none")
{
	echo "Problem: No file has been received.";
	exit;
}

if ($userfile_type!="text/plain")
{
	echo "<font color='red'>Problem:</font> File does not appear to be plain text.
			Only upload plain .txt documents<br> Press back and try again.";
exit;
}

if ($userfile_size=="0")
{
	echo "Problem: Uploaded file is empty.";
	exit;
}
if (!is_uploaded_file($userfile))
{
	echo "Problem: Security warning, possible file upload exploit.
			Process shutdown";
	exit;
}

$savepath = $directory."campid-".$row_rsCampaign['campaign_id'];
$savepath = $savepath."-created-".date("U");
$savepath = $savepath."-ran-";
srand(time());
$random = (rand()%999999);
$savepath = $savepath.$random;
$savepath = $savepath.".txt";
$upfile = $savepath;

if (!copy($userfile, $upfile))
{
	echo "Could not store the uploaded file";
	exit;
}

echo "...Analyzing uploaded file contents...<br>";
.........

The page which sends the file contains the following:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php?campaign_id=<?php echo $row_rsCampaign['campaign_id']; ?>&client_id=<?php echo $row_rsClient['client_id']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
<input type="file" name="userfile">
<input type="submit" value="Send File"></p>

    </form>

Basically my linux server constantly tells me that 'File does not appear to be plain text.' This was all from a manual, and cant find what the problem is... TIA svenski

Have you tested the value of $userfile_type? What type does the Linux box seem to think it is?

try this ..

<?php

if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'])
{
	echo "Problem: No file has been received.";
	exit;
} 

if ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != "text/plain")
{
	echo "<font color='red'>Problem:</font> File does not appear to be plain text. Only upload plain .txt documents<br> Press back and try again.";
	exit;
} 

if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] < 1)
{
	echo "Problem: Uploaded file is empty.";
	exit;
} 

$savepath = $directory . "campid-" . $row_rsCampaign['campaign_id'];
$savepath = $savepath . "-created-" . date("U");
$savepath = $savepath . "-ran-";
srand(time());
$random = (rand() % 999999);
$savepath = $savepath . $random;
$savepath = $savepath . ".txt";
$upfile = $savepath;

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile)) {
{
	echo 'the file has been uploaded';
}
else
{
	echo "Could not store the uploaded file";
} 
?>
