I can upload other file without error. But whenever I tried to upload rtf file in php it fails. My code it below:
if(isset($_POST['pid'])){
if($_FILES['uploadname']['name']==''){
//Failed
}else{
//upload the file
}
}
HTML form:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" accept=".csv,.doc,.pdf,.docx,.xls,.xlsx,.rtf,.txt, image/*"
name="uploadname" style="width:100%;">
<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="<?php echo $id; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo $max; ?>">
</form>
$max = 62914560 bytes
I got undefined index uploadname
The server log:
PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 24783980 bytes exceeds the limit
of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0
I upload the same file (resaved as doc format using msword) without problem. But when it comes to rtf it fails. I can upload other files like doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, txt and all image files without problem.
What could be the problem. I am using php 7.1.19 Thanks
See the documentation:
The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field (measured in bytes) must precede the file input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted by PHP. This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too large and the transfer failed. Keep in mind: fooling this setting on the browser side is quite easy, so never rely on files with a greater size being blocked by this feature. It is merely a convenience feature for users on the client side of the application.
You put that field after the file input, so it will be ignored.
The PHP settings (on the server side) for maximum-size, however, cannot be fooled.
… and it looks like your server-side configuration is set to a lower value anyway, so you need to increase that.
Check if your HTML form has enctype="multipart/form-data".
If your file input tag name is "uploadname".

I've been searching google abit and could not find anything that would help! I have a customer that would like to upload large CSV files of products (A right pain as there 150mb plus uncompressed).
I Noticed that he gets the files compressed from the wholesaler with gz (down to 6mb). I've been trying to upload the gz via the admin form I've created for him but the $_FILES global is empty when submitting (this is after it has gone through the upload to the tmpdir)
everything works fine if i upload the uncompressed csv (as in the $_FILES global is not empty), So i'm guessing the server is blocking the file? but i can't find anything about this and checking out other upload scripts people are allowing the extension.
Form Below:
<form action="/admin.php?current_page=new_upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="csvFile">CSV File: (*)</label>
<input class="form-control" type="file" required name="csvFile" id="csvFile" />
<input class="btn btn-success" id="subBtn" type="submit" value="Upload CSV to Site" />
</form>
Getting tmp_name here which is empty when trying to upload gz file (first line on the file):
$fn = $_FILES['csvFile']['tmp_name'];
put a var_dump($_FILES) at the top of the file and its completely empty, so its getting lost before hitting any of the script
But no issues if I upload a .csv file
So i finally gave in and uploaded the huge uncompressed file, which failed, i then GZ'd the sample data and it worked fine, so it must be an issue with file size, and even though the gz is only 6mb (we've set the limit to 150mb) the server must be reading the file at its actual size before even touching the script.
I'll be playing around with the server settings, but thanks for looking anyway!
I am able to upload other file types like .txt, .png, .apk using
<form action="index1.php" method="post" name = "mySuperForm"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" placeholder="Application Name" name="appname">
<input type="text" placeholder="Version Number" name="appversion">
Application File: <input style = "width:auto" type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
</form>
But, when I try to upload a .ipa file, I can't grab the application name or version number on index1.php (the page I am posting to)using $_POST. However, if I upload a different file type, I can. It's as if nothing is getting posted if I try to upload an ipa file, like the html is failing on that line. I am using my localhost, wamp server. Any advice?
Without seeing your handling PHP, it's a bit difficult to diagnose, but here are a few potential items that may point you in the right direction:
Does the .IPA file exceed the *post_max_size* or *upload_max_filesize* as defined in your PHP configuration?
Try var_dump($_FILES); to see if your script is seeing the files there.
I think this is happening because the file is too big and the request is being truncated by the web server, so PHP would not be able to access any form fields because the request was not completed. How large is the ipa file? You might need to adjust your maximum post size. The default is usually 4 MB.
Failed to upload file using HTML form:
after I click the submit botton, I could print out the $_FILES["file"]["name"] and $_FILES["file"]["type"] and ["size"] and ["tmp_name"] and
["error"] and etc.but I could not find the file in the tmp folder(it should be there by default)!I don't know why.
the html code goes like this:
<form action="manage.php?act=getback.questionOpt" target="fileUp" method="post" id="f1" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p id="file_u">
<input type="file" name="file">
<iframe width="0px" height="0px" name="fileUp" style="display:none">
</iframe>
</p>
</form>
Uploaded files are deleted from the temp-directory unless they are moved or renamed!
There is a small note about that just above the third example on the PHP-Documentation at http://de2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php
Therefore you will not be able to see the file after the request is finished.
Simply renaming the file should do the trick.
How big is your file? If it is too big and exceeds your server limit, it won't upload. If your server has uploading disabled by default, you will need to turn it on in php.ini. This is how:
Open the php.ini file in your editor.
Search for the text string file_uploads. You will find something which says file_uploads = Off | On. If it says Off as the value, problem solved. Otherwise, it could be commented (check for semicolon at start of line). Otherwise:
Change the file permissions of your tmp folder.
Unless you show us the full code, there is nothing else I can do to help you.
I have an image uploader that uses the imgur.com API and jQuery's .ajax() function to upload images to their servers. However, if I browse for an image using the <input type="file"/> element of the form, it will only be successful in uploading an image if the image file is found in the same directory as the page.php file that the form is found in (shown below). How can I allow the form to upload images from any directory on my computer?
page.php:
<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input type="file" name="doc" id="doc" /><br/>
<input type="image" src="go.gif" name="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
You've forgotten the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute on your form tag, for one. Without that, file uploads generally don't work too well.
Beyond that, the server won't really care what directory you're uploading FROM, especially under PHP. The uploaded copy on the server is stored with temporary filename ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']) that has absolutely nothing to do with the directory/filename on your computer.
Once it's on the server, you'll have to actually move that temporary file somewhere else, as PHP will auto-delete it once the script terminates and you've not handled it yourself. move_uploaded_file() is what's generally used to take of that process.
Perhaps this is the only folder with write-permissions.
I guess it is jquery that is doing the actual posting to http://imgur.com/api/upload as the form is just posting to itself, so my guess is that jquery / javascript can only read files in your web-space and not on your whole hard-drive.
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="mp3" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
I tried the above,and found var_dump($_FILES); is always empty.
It only works when you upload text files or images.
UPDATE
I added method="POST" and it works.Why is POST necessary here?
MP3 file uploads should work like any other file upload, there's no discrimination by file type or extension.
Check whether your file is not larger than allowed.
PHP manual on file uploads
PHP manual on file uploads: Common pitfalls
Update: #Adhip Gupta solved it. GET seems to be the default method for a FORM, not POST as I thought. Check here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.1
This attribute specifies which HTTP method will be used to submit the form data set. Possible (case-insensitive) values are "get" (the default) and "post". See the section on form submission for usage information.
Did you specify the form method to be POST explicitly and try?
First thing to check is how big the files are, and what the max upload size in PHP.ini is set to.
Nothing wrong with your PHP code. And neither PHP nor the webserver know the difference between a MP3 file and other types of content.
Have you checked its not size related?
Do you know that there isn't other things between the browser and the PHP which might be filtering?
Have you tried using a wiretap (e.g. wireshark) to confirm the data is leaving the browser / getting to the server?
C.
Maybe you have missed the MAX_FILE_SIZE which should be included.
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="157286400" />
You should also add action="some.php" and method="POST" to <form>
