I have been trying to get a script to work that lets the user upload a picture through an html form. Coding it is the easy part.....for some reason, that i can't explain why file uploads (through an html form) won't work on my server. I tryed fooling around with the php.ini file and httpd.conf file. Nothing i've tryed has seemed to work. I have noticed one thing: The var $HTTP_POST_FILES and $_FILES (there really the same thing.) arn't getting set. I am thinking that the file isn't getting uploaded to the server tmp dir. here's the code that i am using:

(Toggle Plain Text)

 $file = $_FILES['testfile']['tmp_name'];
 $path = "/usr/local/web/";
 $dest = "";
 $size = getimagesize($file);
 echo $file . "<-- The File On The System!<br>";
 echo $size . "<-- The Size!<br>";
 switch ($size)
 {
 * * * * * *case 0:
 * * * * * * * * * * * *echo "Image is unknowen";
 * * * * * * * * * * * *break;
 * * * * * * *case 1:
 * * * * * * * * * * * *echo "Images is a GIF";
 * * * * * * * * * * * *$dest = $path.uniqid('img').'gif';
 * * * * * * * * * * * * *break;
 * * * * * * *case 2:
 * * * * * * * * * * * *echo "Image is a JPG";
 * * * * * * * * * * * *$dest = $path.uniqid('img').'gif';
 * * * * * * * * * * * *break;
 * * * * * * *case 3:
 * * * * * * * * * * * * *echo "Image is a PNG";
 * * * * * * * * * * * * *$dest = $path.uniqid('img').'gif';
 * ** * * * * * * * * * * *break;
 * }
* *if ($dest != "")
* *{
* * * * * * * *if (move_uploaded_file($file, $dest))
 * * * * * * *{
     * * * * * * * *echo "File moved.";
 * * * * * * *}
 * * * * * * *else
 * * * * * * *{
 * * * * * * * * * * * *echo "Could not move the file.";
 * * * * * * *}
* * *}

Anyways, the part where i echo the file names and shit at the top only outputs the text that i apended to it, nothing else. Anyways, does anybody here have a clue to what's going on? I think the whole problem is to do with apache and slackware, but i am not sure. Thanks for the help in advance.

For Apache, I am not sure if it will work, but in AddType, did you add the PHP?

If not, add the foolwing code:

Quote:

AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php .php3 .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php?"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Add the part in the red

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i have the AddType all setup...other wise my scripts wouldn't even run. The stuff you have at the bottom of your quote is for windows....not Linux. Unless there's equlivant directives for linux, there not really that much help. I will look around for their linux counter parts.
Thanks again.

I figured it out. You seem to need to use fopen to open the file when it's in the system temp file in order to access it, makes sence i guess. Thanks for you're help though.

You have needed to do this since PHP4, there were several security issues with the old PHP3 method of handling uploaded files.
