Movie File not uploading via submission form

[davegfx]

Hi

 

First post here and am not a programmer so be gentle.  I'm not quite sure whether this is a flash problem, a server issue, or a php coding thing.

 

My site is flash based, but utilizes several php files.  The problem i'm having is with a submission form in which the user uploads several files - an image(x2), a document(x2), and a movie.  When the user uploads them, these files are places in an automatically generated tracking folder on the server. 

 

Now, the images and documents all upload and get places in the folder perfectly.  The movie file seems to upload normally - however, when i check the folder, the movie is not in there.  One interesting thing though is that when i tested with a very small avi (like 150 bytes or something) it was fine.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

 

This is the php script:

 

<?php

 

$subdir=$HTTP_GET_VARS['fid'];

 

if(!is_dir("uploadx/".$subdir)){

mkdir("uploadx/".$subdir, 0777);

}

 

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])) {

$uploadDirectory = "uploadx/".$subdir."/";

$uploadFile = $uploadDirectory. basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);

}

 

?>

 

And this is the flash script for the upload:

 

fileStatus = 0;

bar._xscale = 0;

status_txt.text = "Select a file";

//import the FileReference Object

import flash.net.FileReference;

//create a new FileReference object

var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();

//create a listener object for FileReference events

var fileRefListener:Object = new Object();

//apply object listener to the file reference object

// setting files to be browsed

if (paramType == 1) {

fileDescription = "Photographs - Jpg & Png only";

fileExtension = "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png";

} else if (paramType == 2) {

fileDescription = "Videos - Mov & Avi only";

fileExtension = "*.avi; *.mov";

} else if (paramType == 3) {

fileDescription = "Documents - Word & Pdf only";

fileExtension = "*.doc; *.docx; *.pdf";

}

$HTTP_GET_VARS was depreciated almost 8 years ago, it has been turned off by default in php5, and it has been completely removed in php6. Use $_GET

 

The php code is not checking for any of the possible upload errors - http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php so it will be a little hard for anyone to tell you exactly why your code is not working for the movie files.

 

I'll guess that if you added some error checking logic to your code that you would get an uploaded error value of 1, meaning that the file exceeded the upload_max_filesize setting.

Hi

 

Thank you very much for your reply!  I did some more investigating and it seems to be definitely be a file size setting. 

 

If i upload a movie under 2MB then everything is fine.  If i try anything above 2mb then it doesn't work.  Coincidentally, the document and image uploads are limited to files below 2mb, although I am unsure of where this is located in the code. 

 

Any idea?
