PHP Upload Hangs...

benbox

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help with this please? I've got a little script that should upload files, however when I submit the form my progress bar just hangs, it worked before but doesn't now.. is there a logical reason for this?

THanks for any help

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload" id="upload">
  <b><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please select a file to
  upload from your hard drive<br>
  </font></b><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Note: .jpg, .jpeg
  and .gif files only.</font><br>
  <input type="file" name="imagefile">
  <br>
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload">
 </form>


<?
if(isset( $Submit ))
{

if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type']=="image/gif" || $_FILES['imagefile']['type']=="image/jpeg" || $_FILES['imagefile']['type']=="image/pjpeg"){


  copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "/home/ohms/public_html/images/upload/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'])
    or die ("Could not copy");
?>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your file '<?=$_FILES['imagefile']['name']?>' was uploaded sucessfully. Copy and paste the code below to where you wish to put it on the web site.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>&lt;img src=&quot;[url]http://www.domain.com/images/upload/[/url]<?=$_FILES['imagefile']['name']?>&quot;&gt;</b></font></p>
<?
}
else {
   echo "<p>Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].")</p>";
     }
}

?>
</body>
</html>

I hate scripts that post to themselves. I find it much cleaner and nicer to have a seperate process page.

With uploads, it can take a while (i have found) to detirmine the file extension. I dont know why, but sometimes it does.

I can see nothing wrong with your code, but, I would make a small text file and rename it .jpg to see how long that takes. Also, see if there is variation depending on file size
