Uploading

andykim

I'm having a problem with uploading certain files. For some reason when I upload .gif, .jpg, and other files, it works fine but when I upload .png, .mpg and some other files, $FILES['imgname']['name'] contains the filename but $FILES['imgname']['tmp_name'] is blank. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm just wondering if there's some setting that's preventing me from doing this. This is happening on my local server and on my web host so if it's a setting, then it's probably a default setting. Oh this is happening on all browsers as well (IE, Mozilla, Netscape, etc). Any ideas? Thanks!

Can we see the code your using? Ive never had any trouble with PNG

Here's some snippets of the code:

This first part checks to see if they're uploading a valid file (it's failing on the first check for all the files I mentioned.

						if ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']=='') { add_error('Enter the image you wish to upload.'); }
			else {
				preg_match('/^(.*)\.([^\.]+)$/',create_pathname($_FILES['file']['name']),$m_list);
				$file_root = $m_list[1];
				$file_ext = $m_list[2];

			if (($file_ext!='gif') && ($file_ext!='jpg') && ($file_ext!='png') && ($file_ext!='swf') && ($file_ext!='pdf') && ($file_ext!='jpeg') && ($file_ext!='mov') && ($file_ext!='mpeg') && ($file_ext!='mpg') && ($file_ext!='avi') && ($file_ext!='wmv')) { add_error('You have selected an invalid file (gif,jpg,png,swf,pdf,mov,mpg,avi,wmv).'); }
		}

A little further down I save the file but this causes an error because tmp_name doesn't have a value if I remove the first check above:

				copy ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$dest_dir.$file_root.'.'.$file_ext);

Here's the HTML:

<form action="index.php" method="post" name="list" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="imgID" value="1">

... other hidden variables ....

<p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">

.... other inputs ....

<tr><td>Image: </td><td colspan="2"><input type="file" name="image_file" value=""></td></tr>
</table></p>
<p><a href="javascript:document.list.submit();">Add/Update</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</p>
</form>

As I mentioned before, this is working fine for gif and jpg and pdf but not for the other file formats. Any ideas? Thanks

I've figured out it has something to do with settings however I can't seem to find out what I need to change. I've set up the following example on two of my servers:

<html><body>
<pre><? print_r($_FILES); ?></pre>
<form action="index.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="testfile" value=""><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

This works fine on http://www.audioknight.com/test/ but fails on http://www.pulpandfiber.com/test/ (try uploading the png file to both servers).

Never mind. I'm an idiot. The files I was uploading exceeded the max file upload size.
