[SOLVED] Uploading on Localhost

[mattal999]

Hi,

 

Basically, i'm trying to upload a file, say 1.jpg, to a folder using PHP.

 

I am using this:

 

<?php
function is_uploaded_file2($filename) 
{
   if (!$tmp_file = get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir')) {
       $tmp_file = dirname(tempnam('', ''));
   }
   $tmp_file .= '/' . basename($filename);
   return (ereg_replace('/+', '/', $tmp_file) == $filename);
}
if(isset($_POST))
{
if(is_uploaded_file2($_FILES['mp3']['tmp_name']))
{
if($_FILES['mp3']['type'] == 'audio/mpeg')
{
$files = $_FILES['mp3'];
$tmpname = $files['tmp_name'];
$name = $files['name'];
if(move_uploaded_file($tmpname, 'upload/'.$name))
{

CLIPPED

 

and this works fine on my website when uploaded via FTP to my proper website, but not on localhost.

 

It fails on is_uploaded_file2()

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

What error do you get? And what version of PHP are you running on your local web server?

I don't get an error, this runs:

 

echo is_uploaded_file2($_FILES['mp3']['tmp_name']);
?>
<script>
window.parent.document.getElementById("mp3upload").style.display='block';
window.parent.document.getElementById("progress").style.display='none';
window.parent.document.getElementById("donedev").style.display='block';
window.parent.document.getElementById("donedev").innerHTML='The file could not be uploaded!';
</script>

 

And i don't get anything where i put echo "the function".

 

I'm running PHP4

What do you mean by 'it fails on is_uploaded_file2()' ? Do you get any error messages? What actually happens?

 

On a sidenote, this isn't a valid way of checking if the form's been submitted:

 

if(isset($_POST))

 

That will always return true, since the superglobal arrays are always defined, regardless of if there's anything in them or not. Try using:

 

if(count($_POST) > 0)

 

Oh, and it'd really help if you indented your code properly.

[mattal999]

basically, it doesn't upload to the tmp directory. Is it because it's on my local drive, and doesn't move it to the tmp_directory?

Also note that superglobal variables are case-sensitive, $_FILES is not the the same as $_files

 

I do not see the purpose of your is_uploaded_file2 function either.

[mattal999]

is_uploaded_file2 is basically the same as is_uploaded_file.

 

I just thought it might change the problem but it didnt work.

[wildteen88]

As you are running this on a local install edit your php.ini and make sure erroir_reporting is set to E_ALL and display_errors is set to On.

 

Make sure you restart your HTTP server (eg Apache, IIS etc) after modifying the php.ini. If there is any errors in your code they should be displayed during runtime.

 

You may want to post your code in full too.

OK, i changed the max upload size in php.ini manually (because i tried it about 2 hours ago using code, which obiously didn't work!) and now it works fine.

 

Thanks anyway.
