The Valums Fileupload issues in IE9 - PHP ? - php

Question

Im struggling with Valumx exellent Fileupload. Ive been using it for a couple of years, - and only recently realised that it doesnt work in IE9.
Ive found a couple of answers around here, - but cant seem to figure out how to implement it in my PHP project.
There should be an answer here: Valums file-uploader doesn't work under Internet Explorer 9
But I cant figure out where to put what, to make it work.
Can anyone help me, and write a Valums+IE9+PHP-for-dummies?

Answer 1

It seems that is IE cache issue, if you are using Ajax & GET, add timestamp value in the get parameters for the Ajax parameters, that will do the trick like this :
$.ajax({
url : "http:'//myexampleurl.php' + '?ts=' + new Date().getTime(),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
.
.
//more stuff

Answer 2

When you download the Valums File Uploader package from GitHub you will also find that this package comes with a PHP example that I am dumping here:
<?php
/**
* Handle file uploads via XMLHttpRequest
*/
class qqUploadedFileXhr {
/**
* Save the file to the specified path
* #return boolean TRUE on success
*/
function save($path) {
$input = fopen("php://input", "r");
$temp = tmpfile();
$realSize = stream_copy_to_stream($input, $temp);
fclose($input);
if ($realSize != $this->getSize()){
return false;
}
$target = fopen($path, "w");
fseek($temp, 0, SEEK_SET);
stream_copy_to_stream($temp, $target);
fclose($target);
return true;
}
function getName() {
return $_GET['qqfile'];
}
function getSize() {
if (isset($_SERVER["CONTENT_LENGTH"])){
return (int)$_SERVER["CONTENT_LENGTH"];
} else {
throw new Exception('Getting content length is not supported.');
}
}
}
/**
* Handle file uploads via regular form post (uses the $_FILES array)
*/
class qqUploadedFileForm {
/**
* Save the file to the specified path
* #return boolean TRUE on success
*/
function save($path) {
if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['qqfile']['tmp_name'], $path)){
return false;
}
return true;
}
function getName() {
return $_FILES['qqfile']['name'];
}
function getSize() {
return $_FILES['qqfile']['size'];
}
}
class qqFileUploader {
private $allowedExtensions = array();
private $sizeLimit = 10485760;
private $file;
function __construct(array $allowedExtensions = array(), $sizeLimit = 10485760){
$allowedExtensions = array_map("strtolower", $allowedExtensions);
$this->allowedExtensions = $allowedExtensions;
$this->sizeLimit = $sizeLimit;
$this->checkServerSettings();
if (isset($_GET['qqfile'])) {
$this->file = new qqUploadedFileXhr();
} elseif (isset($_FILES['qqfile'])) {
$this->file = new qqUploadedFileForm();
} else {
$this->file = false;
}
}
private function checkServerSettings(){
$postSize = $this->toBytes(ini_get('post_max_size'));
$uploadSize = $this->toBytes(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
if ($postSize < $this->sizeLimit || $uploadSize < $this->sizeLimit){
$size = max(1, $this->sizeLimit / 1024 / 1024) . 'M';
die("{'error':'increase post_max_size and upload_max_filesize to $size'}");
}
}
private function toBytes($str){
$val = trim($str);
$last = strtolower($str[strlen($str)-1]);
switch($last) {
case 'g': $val *= 1024;
case 'm': $val *= 1024;
case 'k': $val *= 1024;
}
return $val;
}
/**

function handleUpload($uploadDirectory, $replaceOldFile = FALSE){
if (!is_writable($uploadDirectory)){
return array('error' => "Server error. Upload directory isn't writable.");
}
if (!$this->file){
return array('error' => 'No files were uploaded.');
}
$size = $this->file->getSize();
if ($size == 0) {
return array('error' => 'File is empty');
}
if ($size > $this->sizeLimit) {
return array('error' => 'File is too large');
}
$pathinfo = pathinfo($this->file->getName());
$filename = $pathinfo['filename'];
//$filename = md5(uniqid());
$ext = $pathinfo['extension'];
if($this->allowedExtensions && !in_array(strtolower($ext), $this->allowedExtensions)){
$these = implode(', ', $this->allowedExtensions);
return array('error' => 'File has an invalid extension, it should be one of '. $these . '.');
}
if(!$replaceOldFile){
/// don't overwrite previous files that were uploaded
while (file_exists($uploadDirectory . $filename . '.' . $ext)) {
$filename .= rand(10, 99);
}
}
if ($this->file->save($uploadDirectory . $filename . '.' . $ext)){
return array('success'=>true);
} else {
return array('error'=> 'Could not save uploaded file.' .
'The upload was cancelled, or server error encountered');
}
}
}
// list of valid extensions, ex. array("jpeg", "xml", "bmp")
$allowedExtensions = array();
// max file size in bytes
$sizeLimit = 10 * 1024 * 1024;
$uploader = new qqFileUploader($allowedExtensions, $sizeLimit);
$result = $uploader->handleUpload('uploads/');
// to pass data through iframe you will need to encode all html tags
echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($result), ENT_NOQUOTES);
