Upload ends up twice the file size

[skibo]

I have a previous thread started on another forum... http://phpatm.kc-it.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=801

Basically what my problem is, is when I upload a file (whatever the file size is) the file ends up with twice the data inside it. For example:
A test text file with only "THIS IS SAMPLE DATA" contained within it, results with:

THIS IS SAMPLE DATA-----------------------------122491929410738
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="SFUfile[]"; filename="test.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

THIS IS SAMPLE DATA

in the file. I believe this same thing happens with all file types, however a text file is the only type that I can visually confirm. This happens if I increase the upload max file size or use the default values. The name of the file I uploaded was called test.txt and the script name was SFUwhatever. This happens with any upload script I use.

I would really like to fix this issue... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

I wrote the following script one year ago to enable people to upload pictures on a custom forum. I'm sure it works correctly, would you mind trying it?

$userfile is the local filename obtained with a "browse" control on a form on the previous page.
The picture is uploaded to a temp folder, then I perform some tests on it, and if everything is ok, I copy it to its final folder.

if my member name ($logged_name) is toto, the name of my file on the server will be _toto.jpg

if you want you can modify the script to suit your needs and see if your problem remains.

chmod("../../forum/avatars/tmp", 0777);
chmod("../../forum/avatars", 0777);
copy($userfile, "../../forum/avatars/tmp/$userfile_name");

//size checking
$taille = getimagesize("../../forum/avatars/tmp/$userfile_name");
$largeur = $taille[0];
$longeur = $taille[1];

if($largeur <= 90 && $longeur <= 90 && $userfile_size <= 50600)
{
    // format checking

$extension = substr($userfile_name, -4);

	if($extension != ".jpg" && $extension != ".gif")
	{

		$erreur = "bad format: seul. .gif et .jpg";
		$i++;
	}
	else
	{
		if(!isset($erreur))
		{
			copy($userfile, "../../forum/avatars/_$logged_name$extension");

			if($extension == ".jpg")
			{
				@unlink("../../forum/avatars/_$logged_name.gif");
			}
			else
			{
				@unlink("../../forum/avatars/_$logged_name.jpg");
			}
		}
	}
}
else
{
	$erreur = "this picture is too large, max 90 x 90 (25ko)";
	$i++;
}

unlink("../../forum/avatars/tmp/$userfile_name");

I've tried to modify it to work on my system, but it gives too many errors that I could fix in a reasonable amount of time to test it out.

no problem,
Good luck

Still no change in it's behavior. I've tried using a few different web browsers, and they all do the same thing. I've rechecked the config files, and nothing seems to be out of place.

Got it... finally. Well, sorta

I was using apache 2.0.41 and php 4.2.2. I decided to install updated versions of both, now its 2.0.49 and 4.3.7 and all is working as it should.

Whatever the reason was I don't know, I'm just glad it works correctly now.
