I've been trying to do a photo upload using Php. What I am seeing when I do a submit is, the page keeps loading infinitely.
End result the photo is not being uploaded to the directory.
Here is the HTML Code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Photo Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Php Script :
<style>
.sucess{
color:#088A08;
}
.error{
color:red;
}
</style>
<?php
$file_exts = array("jpg", "bmp", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
$upload_exts = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000)
&& in_array($upload_exts, $file_exts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
// Enter your path to upload file here
if (file_exists("uploads/" .
$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo "<div class='error'>"."(".$_FILES["file"]["name"].")".
" already exists. "."</div>";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "<div class='sucess'>"."Stored in: " .
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]."</div>";
}
}
}
else
{
echo "<div class='error'>Invalid file</div>";
}
?>
I've taken this code sample from Here.
I cannot understand what is going wrong here, but I think it has something to do with the path, but I am not sure.
Some help will be appreciated.
*I've edited the code and changed it to 'uploads/' .
It now works!
I checked it out use Relative Path Instead of absolute path then there will be no problem which ever environment you are working in local or server
eg:Instead of this C:\Users\Priyabrata\PhpstormProjects\FileUpload/uploads/
Use uploads/
It will work
when you host it on server some hosting providers will not provide the access so you have to change the folder permissions to writable and it will work cheers
See you are reffering like C:\\Users\\Priyabrata\\PhpstormProjects\\FileUpload/uploads/.Maybe this leads to the problem.
Replace it with the actual server link you use ..
I have tried your code and it works fine for me (I used different path since I am on Ubuntu). Try specifying your path without double slashes. (Like in the sample link you provided). Also make sure the folder exists ;)

So my problem is I get the message "Invalid File". This only happens when I try to upload video type files. However when I try to upload an image it works like a charm. I've searched all over stackoverflow for other video file upload codes and still couldn't find any that worked. Anyone that could refer another question/solution to me and/or fix this problem will greatly be appreciated.
EXTRA NOTE
I've already tried adding echo "Its type is " . $_FILES["file"]["type"]; to debug what file type is being given however it just returns a nice white space.
Change this part
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
to
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
echo "Its type is " . $_FILES["file"]["type"];
}
Now upload the files that don't work and add those types to your list
Apparently the problem only was because the php.ini was set to only accept 10M the file I was uploading was over 15MB and so I guess it gave me the error. But shouldn't that give me the error file-size is too much or something? But that's basically the reason I got the error. :)
I've created two files namely (index.html) and (upload_file.php) in my "var/www/html/nns" folder. Here the codes....
//index.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
//upload_file.php
<?php
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 200000) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
Finally i've created myown folder namely "upload" in "var/html/nns/". In order to upload an image using index.html then it shows in....
Upload: new_bar.png
Type: image/png
Size: 0.211895 kB
Temp file: /tmp/phpjSn4x8
Stored in: upload/new_bar.png
But i've didn't find any image in my folder... what happens??? am I missing something???
Try using an absolute path to the upload folder rather than a relative one, such as:-
$source=$_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$destination=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploads/'.$_FILES["file"]["name"];
$result=#move_uploaded_file($source,$destination);
Make sure, you have provided the write permissions i.e 777 to your upload folder.
Add a dot and a dash in front of the folder name.
./upload/
If the above solution is not working, try changing the permission of the upload folder.
I am new to PHP and I'm trying to make an upload script. But it doesn't work completely.
The thing that doesn't work is that when I have uploaded the photo it doesn't store the photo in the folder "uploads". (The folder location is: Applications > MAMP > htdocs > Marjolein)
Also I want to show the photo that has been uploaded in the browser, but this also doesn't work.
I work with a Mac and use MAMP to run my php code. Can you please help me so I can show the picture in the browser and that it will be stored in the folder "uploads"?
The code I have is:
uploader.php
<style>
.sucess{
color:#088A08;
}
.error{
color:red;
}
</style>
<?php
$file_exts = array("jpg", "bmp", "jpeg", "gif", "png");
$upload_exts = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000)
&& in_array($upload_exts, $file_exts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
// Enter your path to upload file here
if (file_exists("://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" .
$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo "<div class='error'>"."(".$_FILES["file"]["name"].")".
" already exists. "."</div>";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "<div class='sucess'>"."Stored in: " .
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]."</div>";
}
}
}
else
{
echo "<div class='error'>Invalid file</div>";
}
?>
<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['show_image']) and $_REQUEST['show_image']!='')
{
?>
<p><img src="uploads/<?php echo $_REQUEST['show_image'];?>" /></p>

</form>
</body>
</html>
The webbrowser shows after I click on the submit button:
Upload: 0_8caab_996cc75d_orig.jpg
Type: image/jpeg
Size: 538.166992188 kB
Temp file: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phptpCA8B
Stored in: ://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/0_8caab_996cc75d_orig.jpg
Try to echo the image after uploading: (Don´t know about the storage of the image)
echo '<img src="://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]" border=0>';
Place it here:
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "<div class='sucess'>"."Stored in: " .
"://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]."</div>";
echo '<img src="://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Marjolein/uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]" border=0>';
}
Maybe the path to the file is not correct. i think you can try this instead of your previous path:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"../uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
or if the folder "uploads" is located at in the same as the uploader.php you can use this:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
'm trying to upload a file(actually move it from a directory to another) using PHP. The problem is, every time i load the html, after i select the file to upload and press submit, it redirects me to a page that actually saves my .php file instead of the file i'm trying to move. Do i need to give permissions to a program? I am working on ubuntu 14.04.
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
And this is the PHP script:
<?php
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$extension = end($temp);
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
} else {
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
} else {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"/home/laurentiu/Desktop/asd/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "/home/laurentiu/Desktop/asd/".
$_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
} else {
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
Okay, now I've moved on a server.It prints:
Upload: launcher_arrow_ttb.png
Type: image/png
Size: 0.3017578125 kB
Temp file: /tmp/phpRanbFV
Stored in: /home/laurentiu/Desktop/asd/launcher_arrow_ttb.png
but nothing is uploaded. Moreover, when i var_dump the function it prints FALSE, so the function move_uploaded_file does not execute. Why i do not know...
This means your web server is not configured to run PHP files. Instead of executing PHP instruction in the file, it sends back the file like it would do with a plain text file.
in php file you are getting your file as
$_FILES['uploaded']['name']
which should be
$_FILES['file']['name']
I am having issues moving files once uploaded. The upload appears to pass ok with no errors reported. I have 777 on the folder to upload to. The system is wordpress and I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
It should be noted that the form is inside another form. The eventual outcome is to have an image upload (this form, which is inside the larger one) that will allow the user to crop the image and add tags, title description etc before submitting the second form. The final submission of the second form will post to a custom post type and that is working fine. just the moving files and jcrop I am concerned about.
can anyone see a typo in there?
I cannot.

The issue is with this line:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
You need to specify the uploaded directory in your second parameter, like so:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $upload_dir.$_FILES["file"]["name"]);
OK, So it is a convoluted process. Simple enough outside of Wordpress but inside.... its a pain.
There were a few thing I needed to change, firstly the file size was in bytes not kb! Idiot!...(Thanks to Panama Jack for making me look at it again and reminding me to not assume things.)
Secondly, the move_uploaded_file() function does NOT work inside wordpress. Instead I cobbled together something out of this useful post:http://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-move_uploaded_file-in-a-plugin
$path_array = wp_upload_dir();
$path = str_replace('\\', '/', $path_array['path']);
$old_name = $_FILES["image_upload_path"]["name"];
$split_name = explode('.',$old_name);
$time = time();
$file_name = $time.".".$split_name[1];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image_upload_path"]["tmp_name"],$path. "/" . $file_name);
(Please note if you use this code you WILL need to know what you are doing as the references in the question and answer do not correlate.)
With this I was able to send the uploaded file to the uploads directory and generate the various image sizes that wordpress likes (80x80 thumb, medium, large etc).
Why WP doesnt allow move_uploaded_file is beyond be....anyone?
Either way, it is possible, just a pain. I hope this helps.
