PHP upload form doesn't accept .pdf - php

For some reason, my PHP-upload field doesn't accept pdf-files. I don't get it cause I thought there is no selection made while uploading the file... Any advice?
$name = $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"];
$tmp_name = $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["tmp_name"];
$add = "downloads/lkverslagen/".$name;
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $add);
if(file_exists("downloads/lkverslagen/$name")) {
$lkverslag = new LKverslag();
$jaar = date (Y);
$lkverslag->titel = $titel;
$lkverslag->datum = $datecorrect;
$lkverslag->link = $name;
$lkverslag->jaar = $jaar;
$lkverslag->auteur = $_SESSION['user']['naam'];
$lkverslag->teller = $_POST['titel'];
if ($lkverslag->saveverslag($_DB)) {
$feedback = "OK";
} else {
$feedback = "NOT OK";
}
} else {
$feedback = "ERROR";
}

Here are some things to check:
Ensure that your file upload and post limits are not reached by editing upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your .htaccess or php.ini file. If you have error reporting on, you should see an error when they're reached. See this: http://drupal.org/node/97193
Check for file upload error codes. See the documentation for these: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
Ensure that your memory_limit has not been reached. Again, with error logging enabled, you should receive an error message about this. http://drupal.org/node/207036
Check PHP's common pitfalls documentation and make sure there's nothing there that helps: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php
If none of this helps, enable error reporting and post what you receive so we can tailor our answers better to your situation.

So, to repeat my comment: there are limits on the allowed size of uploaded files -- the PDF file might simply be too large.

PHP SSH move file to another directory [duplicate]

I am uploading files to a server using php and while the move_uploaded_file function returns no errors, the file is not in the destination folder. As you can see I am using the exact path from root, and the files being uploaded are lower than the max size.
$target = "/data/array1/users/ultimate/public_html/Uploads/2010/";
//Write the info to the bioHold xml file.
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('bioHold.xml');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$root = $xml->firstChild;
$player = $xml->createElement("player");
$image = $xml->createElement("image");
$image->setAttribute("loc", $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']));
$player->appendChild($image);
$name = $xml->createElement("name", $_POST['name']);
$player->appendChild($name);
$number = $xml->createElement("number", $_POST['number']);
$player->appendChild($number);
$ghettoYear = $xml->createElement("ghettoYear", $_POST['ghetto']);
$player->appendChild($ghettoYear);
$schoolYear = $xml->createElement("schoolYear", $_POST['school']);
$player->appendChild($schoolYear);
$bio = $xml->createElement("bio", $_POST['bio']);
$player->appendChild($bio);
$root->appendChild($player);
$xml->save("bioHold.xml");
//Save the image to the server.
$target = $target.basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']))
echo 'It is a file <br />';
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
else {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
echo $target;
}
Any help is appreciated.

Most like this is a permissions issue. I'm going to assume you don't have any kind of direct shell access to check this stuff directly, so here's how to do it from within the script:
Check if the $target directory exists:
$target = '/data/etc....';
if (!is_dir($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not a directory");
}
Check if it's writeable:
if (!is_writable($target)) {
die("Directory $target is not writeable");
}
Check if the full target filename exists/is writable - maybe it exists but can't be overwritten:
$target = $target . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
if (!is_writeable($target)) {
die("File $target isn't writeable");
}
Beyond that:
if(!(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))) {
echo $_FILES['image']['error']."<br />";
}
Echoing out the error parameter here is of no use, it refers purely to the upload process. If the file was uploaded correctly, but could not be moved, this will still only echo out a 0 (e.g. the UPLOAD_ERR_OK constant). The proper way of checking for errors goes something like this:
if ($_FILES['images']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
// file was properly uploaded
if (!is_uploaded_File(...)) {
die("Something done goofed - not uploaded file");
}
if (!move_uploaded_file(...)) {
echo "Couldn't move file, possible diagnostic information:"
print_r(error_get_last());
die();
}
} else {
die("Upload failed with error {$_FILES['images']['error']}");
}
You need to make sure that whoever is hosting your pages has the settings configured to allow you to upload and move files. Most will disable these functions as it's a sercurity risk.
Just email them and ask whether they are enabled.
Hope this helps.
your calls to is_uploaded_file and move_uploaded_file vary. for is_uploaded_file you are checking the 'name' and for move_uploaded_file you are passing in 'tmp_name'. try changing your call to move_uploaded_file to use 'name'

Multiple file upload scripts have stopped working

I have a site with multiple file uploaders on it, all of which have stopped working.
I am getting no errors; it's like the PHP just refuses to acknowledge the $_FILES handler.
This only occurs on the live server; on my local development system the exact same files work fine.
The HTML I use is:
<input type="file" name="docfile">
The PHP is:
if ($_FILES['docfile']['name'] != '') {
if (!file_exists('upld/documents/'.$docid)) {
mkdir('upld/documents/'.$docid, 0777, true);
}
//sanitise filename
$cleanname = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $_FILES['docfile']['name']);
$upfile = "v0-" . $cleanname;
//Upload image
$temp = $_FILES['docfile']['tmp_name'];
$dest = "upld/documents/".$docid."/";
if(move_uploaded_file($temp,$dest.$upfile))
{
//save file name in DB MySQL stuff here
} else {
$errors[] = "There was an error while uploading file";
}
}
Could a change on the server have affected this?
It turned out that someone had run an update on the server which had reset the php.ini setting file_uploads to OFF.
Once I changed it back to ON everything worked again.

PHP uploading issues

I'm having strange issues when uploading to the server via PHP.
I get the type of the file (working properly, it shows them via echo)
$file = $_FILES['file'];
$typeFile = end(explode(".", $file['name']));
Then I make some comparasions to let them upload it or not, here are the fille types allowed
if($file['size'] <= 52428800) { //50MB, and my file is about 2,5MB
if($fileType == "nlpack" || $fileType == "nl2pkg" || $fileType == "nlpark") {
$id = add_to_db($file['name']); //Adding to database the name, this will return an id, it works
if($id) {
mkdir("uploads/".$id); //create a folder where to add the file, working fine!
if(move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name']), ".uploads/".$id."/".$file['name']) {
echo "file uploaded correctly";
}
else {
echo "has been an error"; //it enters here, while the other file types enters in the if()
}
}
else {
echo "Has been an error";
}
} else {
//alert an error
}
}
The thing is, that "nlpack" file type doesn't uploads, and it enters the if() because I checked it with echos, while the other two are uploaded without problem.
I also check the file size, but that's running fine.
Any ideas of what is going on?
Thanks in advance
Make sure the filesize isn't exceeding the settings in your php.ini or the file will just fail to upload.
upload_max_filesize integer
The maximum size of an uploaded file.
When an integer is used, the value is measured in bytes. Shorthand notation, as described in this FAQ, may also be used.
AND if muliple:
max_file_uploads integer
The maximum number of files allowed to be uploaded simultaneously. Starting with PHP 5.3.4, upload fields left blank on submission do not count towards this limit.

problem with uploading the images with php file upload

hi guys i am uploading the images using the #PhP file upload Method # If i upload 10 Images at a time (Each Images is 2000 /3000 dimension). then the on click save function is not working. if i upload 5 images or less than five images then its working fine wats wrong with my coding i just include my php code with this post <input value="Save" type="submit" name="SubSave" id="SubSave" onClick="return changes();">
if($_POST['SubSave'] == "Save"){
$aid = $_GET['rid'];
$updcount = $_POST['theValue'];
if($_SESSION["almgtype"]==1 || (GetUserNoPhoto($_SESSION["almgid"]))>(GetTotalPhotoCount1($_SESSION["almgid"],$aid))) {
$uid = $_SESSION["almgid"];
for($k=1;$k<=$updcount;$k++) {
//echo $k;
echo $_FILES["uploadfile"]["type"];
if($_FILES["uploadfile".$k]["name"]!="") {
if(($_FILES["uploadfile".$k]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["uploadfile".$k]["type"] == "image/jpeg")|| ($_FILES["uploadfile".$k]["type"] == "image/pjpeg") || ($_FILES["uploadfile".$k]["type"] == "image/png")) {

You probably need to change the maximum POST size in your php.ini configuration file (post_max_size setting).
You can use the command phpinfo() to dump your configuration. Likely, as others have stated you need to increase the upload size and execution time.
These can be modified through a .htaccess file.
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
Just as a warning: Your upload handling script will make it utterly trivial to completely subvert your server:
You blindly trust that the $_FILES[...]['type'] value is correctly set - this value is completely under the user's control, and they can stuff in "image/jpeg" and upload any type of file they want
You blindly trust that the $_FILES[...]['filename'] value is correctly set - again, this value is completely under the user's control, and they can stuff in "hackme.php" if they want to
You blindly write the file to your photoalbum directory, but don't check if the user-supplied filename contains pathing data
So, what happens if someone uploads the following file:
$_FILES['uploadfile0']['type'] = 'image/gif';
$_FILES['uploadfile0']['filename'] = '../pwn_me.php';
You've now happily put a user-provided PHP script ONTO YOUR WEBSERVER and they can now do anything they want.
On top of that, your database queries blindly insert the same data into the queries, leaving you wide open to SQL injection attacks. As well, you don't check for filename collisions until AFTER you've moved the file. So, someone could upload a malicious script, but only do it once for that particular filename. Congratulations, you've implemented versioned attacks on your server. You'll have "pwn_me.php", "pwn_me2.php", "pwn_me3.php", "my_little_pwnme.php", and so on.

How to test if a user has SELECTED a file to upload?

on a page, i have :
if (!empty($_FILES['logo']['name'])) {
$dossier = 'upload/';
$fichier = basename($_FILES['logo']['name']);
$taille_maxi = 100000;
$taille = filesize($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name']);
$extensions = array('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg');
$extension = strrchr($_FILES['logo']['name'], '.');
if(!in_array($extension, $extensions)) {
$erreur = 'ERROR you must upload the right type';
}
if($taille>$taille_maxi) {
$erreur = 'too heavy';
}
if(!empty($erreur)) {
// ...
}
}
The problem is, if the users wants to edit information WITHOUT uploading a LOGO, it raises an error : 'error you must upload the right type'
So, if a user didn't put anything in the inputbox in order to upload it, i don't want to enter in these conditions test.
i tested :
if (!empty($_FILES['logo']['name']) and if (isset($_FILES['logo']['name'])
but both doesn't seems to work.
Any ideas?
edit : maybe i wasn't so clear, i don't want to test if he uploaded a logo, i want to test IF he selected a file to upload, because right now, if he doesn't select a file to upload, php raises an error telling he must upload with the right format.
thanks.
You can check this with:
if (empty($_FILES['logo']['name'])) {
// No file was selected for upload, your (re)action goes here
}
Or you can use a javascript construction that only enables the upload/submit button whenever the upload field has a value other then an empty string ("") to avoid submission of the form with no upload at all.
There is a section in php documentation about file handling. You will find that you can check various errors and one of them is
UPLOAD_ERR_OK
Value: 0; There is no error, the file uploaded with success.
<...>
UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE
Value: 4; No file was uploaded.
In your case you need code like
if ($_FILES['logo']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) { ... }
or
if ($_FILES['logo']['error'] != UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE) { ... }
You should consider checking (and probably providing appropriate response for a user) for other various errors as well.
You should use is_uploaded_file($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name']) to make sure that the file was indeed uploaded through a POST.
I would test if (file_exists($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name'])) and see if it works.
Or, more approperately (thanks Baloo): if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name']))
We Could Use
For Single file:
if ($_FILES['logo']['name'] == "") {
// No file was selected for upload, your (re)action goes here
}
For Multiple files:
if ($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name'][0] == "") {
// No files were selected for upload, your (re)action goes here
}
if($_FILES["uploadfile"]["name"]=="") {}
this can be used
No file was selected for upload, your (re)action goes here in if body
echo "no file selected";
if ($_FILES['logo']['error'] === 0)
is the only right way
