[SOLVED] File upload help (max file size)

[BarneyJoe]

Hope someone can help with this. Have a file upload script that all seemed to be working fine, using the PHP component that resizes images (forget it's name).

 

So it checks the file name is unique, checks it's a jpg, gif, bmp or photoshop file as requires, and has a max file size line to limit it's size.

 

However, it seems that with any file over around 2MB, it's not uploading, and we're getting the error about it not being a jpg or gif.

 

The line in the upload page is :

 

<input name="uploadFile" type="file" size="55">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="80000" />

 

It did have a default value of 25000 but I changed it to 80000, but still the same problem.

 

Some code from the validation page :

 

$ValidationFailed = false;

if (($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/gif") 
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/tif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/photoshop")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/bmp")) 
  { 
  if ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["error"] > 0) 
    { 
     $ValidationFailed = true; 
     $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"]; 
     $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
    } 
  } 
else 
  { 
  $ValidationFailed = true; 
  $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "Please select a valid image file type. The library supports .jpg, .gif, and .png files."; 
  $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
  }
  
if (!empty($_FILES['uploadFile']['name']) && file_exists("Photos/" . $_FILES["uploadFile"]["name"]) && is_file('Photos/' . $_FILES['uploadFile']['name'])) 
{ 
  $ValidationFailed = true; 
  $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "This file has already been uploaded. If you are sure it's a new photo please rename it before uploading to the library."; 
  $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
    } 

 

Any ideas?

find upload_max_filesize in your php.ini file and change it

[jitesh]

Not sure but try

 

ini_get('upload_max_filesize',10000000);

[BarneyJoe]

Cheers guys - I found the upload_max_filesize in php.ini, and sure enough it was 2M - I changed it to 8M, but still getting the

 

'Please select a valid image file type. The library supports .jpg, .gif, and .png files.' error message.

 

Where should I try the

 

ini_get('upload_max_filesize',10000000);

 

line - the addphoto page, or the validation script?

[$cripts]

put it in the uploader script it will change the maximum upload size in the php.ini file

and it will be ini_set('upload_max_filesize',whateversizeinbytes);

it will need to be in the upload script because once the script is done executing it will reset back to its default value

[BarneyJoe]

Anywhere in particular in relation to the code I posted originally? I tried it in a couple of places, and it's giving me the following error :

 

Warning: Wrong parameter count for ini_get() in C:\wamp\www\Photolibrary\validation.php on line 304

 

[$cripts]

because ini_get will only retrieve the value of a php setting ini_get(setting_name);

u need to use ini_set(setting_name,value);

[BarneyJoe]

OK - didn't spot that set instead of get there.

 

I popped it in at the top of that part, ie :

 

# Fields Validations

ini_set('upload_max_filesize',10000000);

$ValidationFailed = false;

if (($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/gif") 
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/tif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/photoshop")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/bmp")) 
  { 
  if ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["error"] > 0) 
    { 
     $ValidationFailed = true; 
     $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"]; 
     $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
    } 
  } 
else 
  { 
  $ValidationFailed = true; 
  $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "Please select a valid image file type. The library supports .jpg, .gif, and .png files."; 
  $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
  }


if (!empty($_FILES['uploadFile']['name']) && file_exists("Photos/" . $_FILES["uploadFile"]["name"]) && is_file('Photos/' . $_FILES['uploadFile']['name'])) 
{ 
  $ValidationFailed = true; 
  $FTGvalid_file_errmsg = "This file has already been uploaded. If you are sure it's a new photo please rename it before uploading to the library."; 
  $ErrorList .= $FTGvalid_file_errmsg . '<br/>'; 
    } 

 

...but still getting the

 

Please select a valid image file type. The library supports .jpg, .gif, and .png files.

 

error.

[MadTechie]

add

print_r($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"]);

 

after the

$ValidationFailed = false;

 

whats the result ?

[jitesh]

Where should I try the

 

ini_get('upload_max_filesize',10000000); - At biggining of file where upload script is written.

[BarneyJoe]

Just the same, with no output - so not seeing the file type for some reason.

 

If I try a file < 2MB it's fine, and correctly displays :

 

image/pjpeg

[BarneyJoe]

 

ini_get('upload_max_filesize',10000000); - At biggining of file where upload script is written.

 

 

OK - added it in there, out of the way, and still no joy, still with images over 2MB.....

[MadTechie]

change

 

if (($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/gif") 
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/tif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/photoshop")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/bmp")) 
  { 

 

to

 

if (($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/gif") 
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/tif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/photoshop")
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/bmp")) 
|| ($_FILES["uploadFile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) 
  { 

[BarneyJoe]

Nope 

 

Things are never straightforward, are they? 

[BarneyJoe]

Just having a look at this again this morning, and added in a

 

phpinfo ();

 

Which is correctly listing the max file upload size as 8M, so I'm pretty stuck now.

 

It's still bringing up my 'Please select a valid image file type. The library supports .jpg, .gif, and .png files.'

 

So it's not OK for jpgs >2M, even tho' the max file size is set to 8M, and it is fine for jpgs < 2M.

 

Any more ideas.....?

[MadTechie]

that message will appear on almost every error so try to workout what the real problem is

try

print_r($_FILES["uploadFile"];

[BarneyJoe]

OK - tried that with a file > 2MB, and got the output :

 

Array ( [name] => DSC00023.JPG [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 1 => 0 )

 

Tried it with a file <2MB, and got the output :

 

Array ( [name] => A8DTRE.jpg [type] => image/pjpeg [tmp_name] => c:/wamp/tmp\php28D0.tmp [error] => 0 => 39168 )

 

So in the first one, for some reason it didn't seem to recognise the file type, as the 'image/pjpeg' was missing?

 

[BarneyJoe]

Just spotted that the

 

upload_max_filesize is still showing as 2M in phpinfo(), even tho' I've changed it to 8M in the php.ini file, and added

 

<?php
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '8M'); 
?>

 

to the top of the page with the upload script.

 

I changed the post_max_size to 9M in the php.ini, but it's still showing as 8M in the phpinfo() too.

 

What could be stopping this from taking effect, if it's changed in the php.ini file, and forced using ini_set?

[MadTechie]

erm.. a reboot maybe:p

[BarneyJoe]

The old, tried and tested, try switching it off, and then back on again trick?

 

[BarneyJoe]

OK - stop the clock.

 

Stopping and restarting the Apache server did the trick.

 

Thanks for the patience!
