Hey guys, i'm running a linux server with PHP4 and i'm trying to get this script to work?

The error message that comes up is, i know this obviously means that the IF function shouldn't be there but how else do i fix the file size?

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/fhlinux197/h/halofactor.co.uk/user/htdocs/upload.php on line 14"

Here's the script.

<?php 
function uploadFile() 
{
// File types
if(!stristr($filename, '.wmv')) 
{ 
die("Please make sure that your file type in .wmv .mpg .mov or .avi."); 
}
// Overwriting
while(file_exists($filename)) 
$filename="1".$filename; 
// File Size
$oneMb=(1024*1024)*15
if($_FILES>$oneMb) 
die("Please make sure your file is smaller than 15MB."); 
$uploadDirectory = "http://www.halofactor.co.uk/user/"; 
copy($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadDirectory.$filename)
or 
die("There is a problem with our upload, please email me using the email on our contact page."); 
}
?>

You forgot the terminating semi-colon on line 13, so the code on line 14 becomes unexpectedly wrong.

Ok, i tried that. But the file still doesn't upload. No errors come up just after a while of loading, it switches from the form page to the script page. Then when i check the FTP to see if the file is there, its not.

(simple form)

http://www.halofactor.co.uk/upload.phps

(script source)

The file i tested was a 2MB wmv.

Ensure that error_reporting is set to E_ALL
Positively check.
e.g.
if (copy(...)) echo "upload ok";
Check upload_max_filesize
e.g.
echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize');

On #1, check the manpage for [man]ini_set[/man], which should clue you in, IIRC.

On #2, that's basic debugging --- use an "if" statement and have it echo something to tell you whether it works or not. For more on debugging, see the sticky thread in the "echo lounge" entitled "Debugging 101".

On #3, he's given you the code. Add that last statement to your script somewhere, and make sure that the file you're trying to upload isn't larger than that parameter.
