Problems with upload

obhobh

Hi,I am trying to create a websites for a printing firm and allows customer to upload their files for print.

I am using the basic php form upload and i am able to upload certain files but not all. Upon checking, what i found out is for those files that failed, there are actually not uploaded as no temp file name exists.

Is there any solution to this? Please advise. Thanks.

Because you are dealing with files for print, you most likely will run into areas where the file to be uploaded will exceed the hostings upload files size limit.
Try using the FTP Functions.

Insure to also view ini_set() to modify the max_execution_time() to allow for large file uploads and slow users bandwidth speeds.

Thanks Frederick for your reply. I have tried both the ini_set and set_time_limit but I still encounter the same problem. The file I am testing with is relatively small. Only 500kb. i think size is not a matter here.

i have a statement that looks like:

<?php
if ($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']=="")
print("no files uploaded");
?>

Seems to me the file couldn't be upload t the server temp directory. The file which failed to be upload is a jpeg file that i can view in some photo software.

What seems to be the problem here??? Any help would be appreciate.

You can use this script I've written, just change the path to where you need it to upload to and make sure the server can write data to that directory. It also takes care of spaces and %'s. Hope it helps.

<?php

$dest = $_POST['destination'];

if (!empty($_FILES['ourFile']['name'])) {

 if ($dest == "uploads") {

$saveDirectory ="/uploads/";

}

$tempName = $_FILES['ourFile']['tmp_name'];

$fileName = $_FILES['ourFile']['name'];

$fileName = str_replace(' ', "_", $fileName);

$fileName = str_replace('%20', "_", $fileName);

if (move_uploaded_file($tempName, $saveDirectory . $fileName)) {

 if ($dest == "uploads") {
echo "<DIV ALIGN=center><FONT SIZE='2'>You uploaded <b>$filename</b> successfully.  It can be downloaded <A HREF=http://yoursite.com/uploads/$fileName>here.</A> You may continue.<BR></DIV></FONT>";
echo "<BR>";
}


} else {

echo 'There was an error.';

}

} else {

  ?>

 <DIV ALIGN="center"><form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload">
      <b>Choose a file:</b><br><BR>
      <input name="ourFile" type="file" size="75"><br><BR>
      <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload"> <b>To </b>
<SELECT NAME="destination">
<OPTION VALUE="uploads">Uploads
</SELECT>

</form></DIV>

<?php

}
?>
