UPLOAD only certain file type

[johnseito]

I created a upload form to upload only a JPEG file type but it doesn't seem to work even if the file I upload is JPEG.

 

Quote:

if (($uploaded_type=="image/jpeg")) {

anyone know what is wrong here?

 

thanks

[phpSensei]

there is also pjpeg.

 

Try outputting the filetype, and see what it spits out.

 

also your method should be

 

<?php
$allowed_type = array('image/gif','image/pjpeg','image/png','image/jpeg');
if(in_array($uploaded_type,$allowed_type)){
?>

[johnseito]

Yup, I changed it to how you have it and it still doesn't work.

Echo the filetype, and post where you defined $uploaded_type

[johnseito]

Here is what I have.

 

<?php

 

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

 

$target = "pictures/";

 

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

$ok=1;

 

 

$allowed_type = array('image/jpg','image/tif','image/gif','image/pjpeg','image/png','image/jpeg');

if(in_array($uploaded_type,$allowed_type)){

 

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))

{

echo "<font color =red> The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded</font><br><br>";

}

else {

echo "<font color=red> Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file. Please try again!</font><br><br>";

}

 

}else

{

echo "<font color=red>Sorry, you may only upload JPEG files!</font><br><br>";

$ok=0;

}

 

}

?>

 

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

Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />

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

</form>

Ok I noticed something.  I was missing these codes..  sometimes example codes are never completed.

 

 

$uploaded_type = $_FILES['uploaded']['type'];

                 

[johnseito]

But I do have a question if you know that would be great. 

 

I can only upload file size that are under 2mb, anything above that doesn't works.  How can I do to change this, I changed the php ini to allow 300mb and it doesn't do any good.

 

thanks

[phpSensei]

ini_set('upload_max_filesize','300');

 

I think its that

[phpSensei]

Try

 

<?php ini_set('max_upload_size', '50M'); ?> 

 

change the value of 50M

[johnseito]

No, it doesn't work.

[uniflare]

Relevant php.ini settings:

 

file_uploads = on

upload_max_filesize = 100M

max_execution_time = 240

max_input_time = 240

memory_limit = -1

post_max_size = 100M

 

hope this helps,

[johnseito]

No, it doesn't work. 

 

any other ideas?

[uniflare]

try php_info();

 

see if you can find anything that prevents you from uploading larger files, also check it to make suer your editing the correct php.ini file (more often than not people have multiple copies of php.ini in the php bin/system32 folder/windows folder etc)

 

other than that im not sure but maybe your web server (ie apache) is causing the problem.

 

--- also, what operating system/php version/apache vers you running and what exactly happens when you try to upload files larger than 2mb?

[johnseito]

I changed all the php.ini files to this

 

file_uploads = on

upload_max_filesize = 100M

max_execution_time = 240

max_input_time = 240

memory_limit = -1

post_max_size = 100M

 

and it still doesn't work

 

what operating system/php version/apache vers you running and what exactly happens when you try to upload files larger than 2mb?

 

Operating system  ---- vista

php version ---------  PHP 5.2.3

apache version - -----http server 2.2.4

 

It just doesn't upload it, it pretty much gives me an error, because in my code if it doesn't do this

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))

it will give me an error.  When it upload successfully I will not see the error and I can see the file uploaded in the directory.

[priti]

your form - post size should also be more.

to increase it use php.ini and set post_max_size.

 

upload_max_filesize = 10M ;

post_max_size = 20M ;

 

and remember to check your memory_limit notable point is :memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size

 

Regards

[johnseito]

I did that, it didn't work.

[priti]

What is the size of your file????

 

and which error are you receiving?

other than that im not sure but maybe your web server (ie apache) is causing the problem.

 

Does it work for you?

you talked as if you have it done

[uniflare]

no im sorry ive never attempted to up the limit on upload sizes, ive just read a lot of posts on other forums in similar situations. sorry

try this - its untested, and incomplete, but it should get you on the right track:

 

<?php
//check that there were no errors, and that something was submitted

if(!empty($_FILES) && $_FILES['attachment']['error'] == 0) { //['attachment'] is the name you gave your file input box
  //no errors, and a file is present - assign and check the values:
  $file_name = $_FILES['attachment']['name'];
  $file_type = $_FILES['attachment']['type'];
  $file_size = $_FILES['attachment']['size'];
  $file_tmpname = $_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'];

  $error = array();
  //set allowed file types and check against the uploaded file
  $allowed_types = array('image/jpeg','image/pjpg','image/png','image/gif');
  if(!in_array($allowed_types, $file_type)) { //not an allowed file type
    $error .= 'type';
  }
  //next set the max filesize and check it against your file. 1048576 bytes = 1 mb
  $max_size = 1048576;
  if($max_size < $file_size) { //if the file is larger then the max size allowed:
    $error .= 'size';
}
//and so on....
  
//File checking done, lets see if there were any errors:
   if(!empty($error)) { //there was an error
     //some code here explaining what the errors were and output to the user
  } else { //no errors
    //upload the file
  }
}
//fin
