Hello List.
I am learning php and MySQL for my project work.
I am trying to upload files to local server.
First, a page is displayed on the browser to upload file
Relevant code:
<form method="post" action="index.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="upload">
</form>
After the user chooses a file and hit the submit button,the browser
displays the content from the "uploads" directory.
Php code:
<?php
if (isset ($_POST['submit']) && ($_POST['submit']=="upload")) {
$pathname = "uploads";
if (!file_exists($pathname)) {
$mkdir = mkdir($pathname);
if (!$mkdir) {
echo 'could not create directory uploads/';
exit();
}
}
$filename = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$destination = "uploads/" . time() . "_-" .
$_FILES['file']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($filename, $destination);
header("Location:uploads/");
But the uploads directory is empty and no warning or error is displayed !
Then i set a check for the return value of move-uploaded_file.
if(isset ($move_uploaded_file)):
echo ""success;
else:
echo "error in uploading";
endif;
But it does not print anything ! .According to manual,
Returns *TRUE* on success.
If /filename/ is not a valid upload file, then no action will occur,
and *move_uploaded_file()* will return *FALSE*.
If /filename/ is a valid upload file, but cannot be moved for some
reason, no action will occur, and *move_uploaded_file()* will return
*FALSE*. Additionally, a warning will be issued.
So the above code should have printed "error in uploading".
Then i tried the copy() function and it prints a warning:
*Warning*: copy() [function.copy
<http://localhost/file_uploading/function.copy>]: Filename cannot be
empty in */srv/www/htdocs/file_uploading/index.php* on line *38*
line 38 is
copy($filename, $destination);
Then i did a print_r($_FILES['file']) and found that
$_FILES['file']['error'] was 1 .The problem was the file i was trying to
upload was 6M in size,greater than upload_max_filesize in /etc/php.ini
which was 2M.I changed that and now it works.
So I want to know - does move_uploaded_file returns false on failure or
is there a bug in my code ?
I am using php 5.3.8 which is configured with
'./configure' '--prefix=/php' '--with-apxs2=/apache/bin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock'
'--with-openssl' '--with-zlib' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2'
'--enable-calendar' '--with-gdbm' '--with-enchant' '--enable-exif'
'--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-gettext'
'--with-gmp' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-readline'
'--enable-soap' '--enable-sqlite-utf8' '--enable-zip'
'--with-mysql=mysqlnd' '--with-mysqli=mysqlnd'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-freetype-dir'
and error_reporting directive in php.ini is "error_reporting = E_ALL |
E_STRICT".
