[SOLVED] Video Upload error

[pcw]

Hi, I am trying to integrate video uploads into my site, but it keeps saying it is a invalid file. I am not sure what I am doing wrong

 

<?php

include("templates/common/header.php");

include("data/definitions.php");
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/mpeg")
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000))
  {
   $UploadDir = "../../members/uploads/";
         $filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
         echo "<center></br>";
    echo "<p class=style3><b>Upload: " . "$filename </b></p><br />";
       if (file_exists($UploadDir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo "<p class=style3><b>$filename" . " already exists.</b></p> ";
      echo "</center>";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      $UploadDir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      $image = ($UploadDir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo '<embed autostart="true" bgcolor="FF6600" border="20" hidden="false" loop="true" controller="false" src="$image">'; 
      
      }
    }
    else {
    echo "<p class=style3>Invalid File</p>";
    }
    
?>

 

Any help is much appreciated

 

Thanks

check that

if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/mpeg")

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000))

 

evaluates to true

 

before that statement put

 

echo 'file type = '. $_FILES["file"]["type"] . ' Filesize = ' .$_FILES["file"]["size"];

 

that will be the 1st step in solving your problem.

For debugging, display exactly what you are getting from the form, because it is likely you are getting an upload error due to the size of the file -

 

echo "<pre>";
echo "POST:";
print_r($_POST);
echo "FILES:";
print_r($_FILES);
echo "</pre>";

 

And someone went to the trouble in one of your other threads to list what your upload code should be doing to get it to tell you why it is failing - http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,247197.msg1156255.html#msg1156255 If you don't bother to use the information you have been given, you are doomed to repeat bad coding that does not work and does not tell you why it is not working.

Thanks ToonMariner, I simply missed a 0 off of the file size

 

PFMaBiSmAd - I didnt understand how to implement what they were suggesting. Its not that I havent bothered to use it, its just I dont know how.
