[SOLVED] image upload w/ xampp on windows w/ php5

programguru · January 30, 2009

for some reason, after many trials and tests, i am unable to upload an image with the following simple script:

HTML

<input type="file" name="image" size="35" maxlength="100" />

PHP

copy($_FILES[image][temp_name], 
"c:/www/mttestdir/".$_FILES[image][name])
	or die("The file could not be copied");

my php settings are as follows:

file_uploads On On

upload_max_filesize 32M

upload_tmp_dir C:\www\tmp

Image is jpg, and well under 32M.

I cannot get past my die error!

Read this: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

And are you sure your form is enctype="multipart/form-data"?

Quick Script:

Upload.php

<?php 
$directory_self = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); 
$uploadsDirectory = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $directory_self . '/_uploaded/'; 
$uploadForm = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $directory_self . 'index.php'; 
$uploadSuccess = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $directory_self . 'upload2.php'; 
$fieldname = 'file'; 
$errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded', 
                2 => 'html form max file size exceeded', 
                3 => 'file upload was only partial', 
                4 => 'no file was attached'); 
isset($_POST['submit']) 
    or error('the upload form is needed', $uploadForm); 
($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] == 0) 
    or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]['error']], $uploadForm); 
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name']) 
    or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm); 
@getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name']) 
    or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm); 
$now = time(); 
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]['name'])) 
{ 
    $now++; 
} 
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename.$fileext) 
    or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm); 
header('Location: ' . $uploadSuccess); 
function error($error, $location, $seconds = 5) 
{ 
    header("Refresh: $seconds; URL=\"$location\""); 
    echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'."\n".

    '    <body>'."\n\n". 
    '    <div id="Upload">'."\n\n". 
    '        <h1>Upload failure</h1>'."\n\n". 
    '        <p>An error has occured: '."\n\n". 
    '        <span class="red">' . $error . '...</span>'."\n\n". 
    '         The upload form is reloading</p>'."\n\n".

        <p> 
            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo $max_file_size ?>">

        <p> 
            <label for="submit">Press to...</label> 
            <input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload me!"> 
        </p> 
    </form> 
    </body> 
</html>

This script is great. I use it all the time for minimul security uploads. They will save files in directory "/_uploaded/"
