Upload Script times out in IE...works in FF

[themightydude]

I've read a few other topics here and google on this, but have been unable to find a solution.

 

Here is the probelm,

 

I have a script that allows a user to upload a file via php...they get to this script after they are logged in via .htaccess.

 

Anyway, the script is fine in FireFox..I've uploaded 30MB files before....however in IE7 it times out.

 

I can upload a 40KB file in IE, but a 89KB file times out.

 

I am completely lost and have no idea.

 

Server: RHEL5

PHP = 5.2.4 with Zend Optimizer V3.3.0

Apache is 2.2

 

 

HTML form Code:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="9000000000000000" />

Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br>
<br />

<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />

</form>

 

 

PHP Code:

<?php



// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>

 

Any insight / help that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

 

EDIT: THis script works in IE6, but not IE7.

on your second page type at the top

print_r($_FILES);

and see if you get an error to reference outta the manual

[themightydude]

I should of mentioned this before probably.

 

When it times out in IE7, it takes me to a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

 

I added the print_r($_FILES); to the top of my php file, but its the same thing..

 

"Internet Exploerer cannot display the webpage"

[cooldude832]

does it give you a http response code, and what is the url saying?

[themightydude]

I get no response code.

 

URL says http://mysite.com/uploader.php

 

http://mysite.com/index.html is the main HTML page with the form that calls uploader.php via post.

[cooldude832]

only thing I can think of is the MAX_FILE_SIZE is so huge that IE7 just says forget it and truncates it to 90 thousand bytes

try removing it and see what happens

[themightydude]

I removed

 

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="9000000000000000" />

 

from the HTML code..but its still doing the same thing

 

 

I ran the script again from firefox after adding the print_r command and this is what was returned:

 

Array ( [uploadedfile] => Array ( [name] => Copy of B757 PARTS LIST IN STOCK-version 2.xls [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpPxsDR9 [error] => 0 [size] => 160256 ) ) The file Copy of B757 PARTS LIST IN STOCK-version 2.xls has been uploaded

[cooldude832]

well if IE ever gets to that second page and you can see an error that isn't 0 you can figure out what is error, but I think its IE7 browser having issue with the file, to test it have it process to itself and see if it at least goes without doing anythign

[themightydude]

Talking about going straight to the .php and skipping going through the html to get to the code?

 

If so that does work, and I get:

 

Array ( ) There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

 

Its just anything larger than 40-50KB kills it

 

What kills me, is that IE6 will work fine...its just IE7

 

 

[cooldude832]

no change the

form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

and see if IE pushes it through or not.

[themightydude]

changed the form code to show this

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">

 

Then put the php code on the same page as the index file....but same thing.

 

Firefox will upload the files, IE7 still times out..goes to a "IE cannot display the webpage".
