uploading mystery error

[The14thGOD]

Because Plesk's login system blows, this is going to be a little screwy. Currently I'm locked out of cpanel so I have no access to a database to back it up to start messing with code. Basically whenever a user uploads a PDF I get a blank white page (theres probably errors but error reporting is turned off to avoid any accidental variables being over written with wrong values). Does anyone see something wrong with the following code? I've used it before so not sure why it's breaking, figured a fresh pair of eyes would help:

 

<?php
if($_FILES["pdf1"]['name'] != ''){
			$uploaddir = '../pdf/';
			$rand = get_rand_id(;
			$filename = $rand.'_'.$_FILES["pdf1"]['name'];
			$file_dir = "$uploaddir" . "$filename";
			$file_dir = str_replace(' ','_',$file_dir);
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pdf1"]['tmp_name'], "$file_dir");
		}else{
			$file_dir = $pdf1backup;
		}
		//pdf2
		if($_FILES["pdf2"]['name'] != ''){
			$rand = get_rand_id(;
			$filename = $rand.'_'.$_FILES["pdf2"]['name'];
			$file_dir2 = "$uploaddir" . "$filename";
			$file_dir2 = str_replace(' ','_',$file_dir2);
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pdf2"]['tmp_name'], "$file_dir2");
		}else{
			$file_dir2 = $pdf2backup;
		}
		$file_dir = str_replace('../pdf/','',$file_dir);
		$file_dir2 = str_replace('../pdf/','',$file_dir2);
?>

 

pdf1 and pdf2 are the names of the upload fields. I tried setting:

<?php
ini_set('upload_max_filesize','16M');
	ini_set('post_max_size','16M');
	set_time_limit(100);
?>

but that didn't do anything.

get_rand_id( is a function for random characters, its linked up right.

I'd turn on errors but without a backup of the database I dont want to risk the script actually running. Any ideas?

 

The error only occurs when uploading PDF's.

This was built cheaply (the client didnt want to pay that much) so there is no file checking to make sure its a PDF. Only the client has access to this.

Thanks for any and all help.

You cant define upload_max_filesize or post_max_size within a PHP script.  You have to do it in htaccess or in your apache config.

 

The size limits and max execution times are the problem.  Increase them in htaccess and you should be fine.

hmm according to this you can: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php it was linked from the ini_set function

 

Even if I upload a small pdf, 200kb, the default of 2mb in php.ini, it still gives me a blank white page

 

Do you have an example of how to set it via htaccess? I'll do a google search right now as well in case you don't get back.

[The14thGOD]

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M

php_value post_max_size 20M

php_value max_execution_time 200

php_value max_input_time 200

well..that didnt come up last time..ill try this.

 

**Edit**

tried and no success, same thing, blank white page, not much time delay from when I hit submit to the white page.

According to the docs (the link you posted),

 

upload_max_size is PHP_INI_PERDIR.

post_max_size is PHP_INI_PERDIR.

max_input_time is PHP_INI_PERDIR.

 

Only max_execution_time is PHP_INI_ALL.

 

PHP_INI_PERDIR settings can only be changed in your php.ini, a .htaccess file, or you Apache httpd.conf file.

PHP_INI_ALL can be changed anywhere (including your script with ini_set).

 

 

Edit: I dont see anything wrong with the implementation of your upload code.  Perhaps the error is elsewhere.

I probably should of read that more carefully. I thought it was linking to only the ones you can change via ini_set, my bad.

 

I guess I'll have to wait till i can get in to the database I was just hoping there was something really obviously wrong haha.

Thanks,

Justin
