file upload confusion

[jayjay89]

hey,

I started creating this page that is suppose to upload pdf files, it opens the file upload box but when i click to submit the file nothing happens. I have checked the folder and no file goes in it. I don't know what i am doing wrong.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['name']=="hollywincote")
{
echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['name'];
echo "     ";
echo "<A href = \"login.php?do=logout\">logout</A>";
}
else
{
header("Location:login.php");
}

$page_title= 'Holly Wincote | Login';

include('includes/header.html');

?>
<div class="leftcontent">
<h2>Administrator Panel</h2>


<?php

//check if the form has been submitted:
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

//check for an uploaded file:
if(isset($_FILES['upload'])) {

//validate the type. Should be pdf, doc or rtf.

$allowed = array('application/pdf');

if(in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $allowed)) {

//move the file over.
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['name'], "../hollywincote/uploads/{$_FILES['upload']['name']}")) {

echo '<p><em>The file has been uploaded</em></p>';

} //end of move... IF


} else {

echo '<p>Please upload a PDF.</p>';

}

} //end of isset($_FILES['upload']) IF.

//check for an error:
if($_FILES['upload']['error'] >0) {

echo '<p>The file could not be uploaded because: <strong>';

//print a message based upon the error.

switch ($_FILES['upload']['error']) {

case 1:

print 'the file exceeds the upload_max_filesize setting in php.ini.';

break;

case 2:

print 'the file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE setting in the html form.';

break;

case 3:

print 'the file was only partially uploaded.';

break;

case 4:

print 'no file was uploaded.';

break;

case 6:

print 'no temporary folder was available.';

break;

case 7:

print 'unable to write to the disc.';

break;

case 8:

print 'file upload stopped.';

break;

default:

print 'a system error occured.';

break;

} //end of switch

echo '</strong></p>';


} //end of error IF.

//delete the file if it still exists
if(file_exists($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'])) {

unlink ($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']);

}

}//end of submitted conditional

?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="admin_panel.php" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5242488">

<fieldset>

<legend>Select a PDF to be uploaded:</legend>

<p><b>File:</b> <input type="file" name="upload"/></p>

</fieldset>

<div align="center">

<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="submit"/>

</div>

<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE"/>

</form>


</div><div class="clear"></div>

		</div>

<?php

include ('includes/footer.html');

?>

First I would check the permissions on the server for the "hollywincote/uploads/" directory.  Can this directory create files and folders?

You might also put some "echos" in your if statements to find out where it's stopping.  See below:

 

if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

 

        ECHO "1ST IF<br>";

 

//check for an uploaded file:

if (isset($_FILES['upload'])) {

 

                ECHO "2ND IF<br>";

 

//validate the type. Should be pdf, doc or rtf.

$allowed = array('application/pdf');

if (in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $allowed)) {

 

                        ECHO "3RD IF<br>";

 

//move the file over.

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['name'], "../hollywincote/uploads/{$_FILES['upload']['name']}")) {

 

                              ECHO "4TH IF<br>";

 

echo '<p><em>The file has been uploaded</em></p>';

} //end of move... IF

} else {

echo '<p>Please upload a PDF.</p>';

}

} //end of isset($_FILES['upload']) IF.
