file upload problem with mp3 files

[darrylcr]

I use several variations on this basic upload script, and it works fine with all my image and text files (I stripped out all the file type testing and checking functions). However when I use the same script with any .mp3 file, all I get an ie "Page Cannot be displayed" error. I can't seem to find any other error info. This is driving me nuts.

<?php
session_start();
if ( !$SESSION[mp3] or $SESSION[mp3] == 0 ) {
$SESSION[mp3] = 1; ?>
<p><strong>Choose file to upload</strong>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php print $SERVER[PHP_SELF] ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="6000000">
<input type="file" name="user_file">
<p><input type="submit" name="change" value="Select">
</form>
<?php
} else if ( $SESSION[mp3] == 1 ) {
$source_file = $FILES['user_file']['name'];
$upload_dir = "/var/www/sharkbytebands/mp3/";
$uploadfile = $upload_dir . $source_file;
if ( move_uploaded_file($FILES['user_file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile) ) {
echo "<p><b>file upload successful</b>";
} else {
echo "<p><b>file upload failed</b>";
}
$SESSION[mp3] = 0;
echo "<p><a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">return to upload form</a>";
}
?>

Any help?

Does it go directly to a 404 error or does it take a long time?

[darrylcr]

it only takes a couple seconds, I checked all max file size settings... I've been prowling message boards for two days now!

are there mime type restrictions in either my browser or apache?

Try this and let me know if there are any errors:

<?php
if(!isset($submit)){
echo "<p><strong>Choose file to upload</strong>
<form enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"6000000\">
<input type=\"file\" name=\"user_file\">
<p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Select\">
</form>";
} else {
$source_file = $_FILES['user_file']['name'];
$upload_dir = "/var/www/sharkbytebands/mp3/";
$path = $upload_dir . $source_file;
if(!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['user_file']['tmp_name']){ echo "The file was not uploaded to be moved."; }
if ( move_uploaded_file($_FILES['user_file']['tmp_name'], $path) ) {
echo "<p><b>file upload successful</b>";
} else {
echo "<p><b>file upload failed</b>";
}
unset($submit);
echo "<p><a href=\"".$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]."\">return to upload form</a>";
}
?>

still works with text and jpg... goes straight to error with mp3 file. I'm using a small 1M mp3 file as a test file in an attempt to eliminate file size errors.

Could it be the setting of _SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"]

here is my phpinfo link.

update- I tested this form with really small mp3 files, and they all uploaded ok... up to about 150k. A ~500k file caused the same error I've been experiencing. I'll create some more test files so I can determine the cutoff point more precisely. I'm pretty sure that my max_file_size etc. are appropriate, and the error happens after only about 3 or 4 seconds. I don't think it is a timeout error. Can you think of anything else I may have missed?

Thanks-

update- I was able to upload mp3 files up to 485k. A 525k file created the error. Larger files also error.

Solution! After much more searching I found this-

http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/AttachmentSize

RedHat 8/9 has an additional file that needs to be adjusted.
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

Adjust LimitRequestBody to desired size.

Thanks for all your help
