Server Side Scripting / Coding: PHP File Upload and validation script problem
Bottom of Page1 to 3 of 3
-
Hello,
I have been working on a script to upload mp3, doc, and pdf files and put them on a folder on my server usin PHP. I have tried writing 3 different scripts all seem to be failing through the if option statements. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong please ? Code is below :
<?php
require_once('includes/inc_functions.php');
$target = "../files/";
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
$file=$_FILES['file']['name'];
// if it is not empty
if ($file)
{
// get the original name of the file from the clients machine
$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['file']['name']);
// get the extension of the file in a lower case format
$extension = getExtension($filename);
$extension = strtolower($extension);
// if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error, print an error
//message
//and will not upload the file, otherwise we continue
if (($extension != "doc") && ($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "pdf"))
{
echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}
else
{ // put files in folder
$target_path = "../files/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "<h1>It works, $file uploaded !</h1>";
}
else {
echo "<h1>There is a problem</h1>";
}
}
}
}
else {
?>
<body>
<form name="newad" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action=""><input type="hidden" name="phpMyAdmin" value="4594f30712f4fabaff6997416810f3f2" />
<table width="300" align="center" id="uploadImg">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><h1>Upload Files</h1></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> <p align="center" style="font-size:10px;">You can upload files with the <strong>.MP3, doc and pdf </strong> extension using this form. Please make sure that all your MP3's have been ID3 tags or they will not display in the flash player.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Please choose a file :</td>
<td><input name="file" type="file" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" name="Submit" />
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><div align="center"><a href="javascript:window.close()" title="Close Window">Close Window</a></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html><?
} // end else

Does the file actually make it to the server or are you having trouble moving it once it is on the server?
What do you get when you issue:
echo "<pre">
print_r($_FILES);
echo "</pre>";
I use Easy PHP Upload and it works like a champ.
