is_uploaded_file fails

[Kudose]

Hello all. I am dumbfounded on this one. I have a form which lets me upload a CSV, but it wont upload them.

I dont get any parse or fatal errors and all of the custom errors I am using to debug it are showing the requested variables.

The following script stops telling me that $file_name." was not uploaded to be moved.";

Any help?

Thanks!

if($_POST['submit']){

$stop_exe = FALSE;
$allowed = array("text/csv", "text/comma-seperated-values", "application/csv", "application/excel", "application/vnd.msexcel", "application/vnd.ms-excel", "application/octet-stream");

$file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
if($_FILES['file']['size'] > 2000000){
	$msg = "The maximum file size allowed is 2MB.  Please try a differnet file.";
	$stop_exe = TRUE;
}
//end size check
if(!in_array($_FILES['file']['type'], $allowed)){
	$msg = "The file you are trying to upload is not a valid type for this fuction.<br \><br \>";
	echo "Valid extensions are: ";
	foreach($allowed as $key => $var){
		echo $var." ";
	}
	echo "<br /><br />Your file type was: ".$_FILES['file']['type'];
	$stop_exe = TRUE;
}

if($stop_exe == FALSE){
	$path = $core_dir."wm/";

	if(is_uploaded_file($file_name)){
		$move_csv = move_uploaded_file($file_name, $path.$file_name); 
		if($move_csv){
			chmod($path.$file_name, 0644); 
		} else {
			$msg = "Could not upload ".$file_name." to ".$core_dir."wm";
		}
	} else {
		$msg = $file_name." was not uploaded to be moved.";
	}

	$csv_read = fopen($file_name, "r");
	$row = 1;
	while(($data = fgetcsv($csv_read, filesize($file_name), ',', ';')) !== FALSE){
		//start from row 1 to skip headings on row 0
		$cols = count($data);
		for($c=0; $c<$cols; $c++){
			echo $data[$row]." ";
			$row++;
		}			
	}		
}		
}

//start main body of page
echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">";
echo "<center><b>".$msg."</b></center><br /><br />";
echo "<table width=\"70%\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\">";
echo "<tr><td>Select file:</td><td><input type=\"file\" class=\"textbox\" size=\"24\" name=\"file\"></td><td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Go!\" name=\"submit\" class=\"submit\"></td></tr>";
echo "</table</form>";

Try adding this to your form:

echo '<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000" />';

Thanks, but no dice.

use $FILES['file']['tmp_name'] instead of $FILES['file']['name'] for is_uploaded_file()

the tmp_name is the actual temporary filename on your server before it is copied/moved/whatever

all actual file operations should be on "tmp_name", not "name".

"name" is basically just the original filename.

so you'd do like:

@move_uploaded_file($FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path.$FILES['file']['name']);

to save the file to your server

Thank you for that.

With your input and a few more error fixes on my end, it works.

Few more things.

How can I skip the first line when reading the CSV?

Should I just read the file, explode it, mold it, then implode it?

I am going to make DB inserts and dont need the heading line.

Thanks!
