quick simple upload

#1 (**permalink**) 12-14-2004

Hi,

I would like to upload a 15Mo zip file on my site. Is there a quick script
(no-password, etc necessairy) to do this. This is a one time usage only.
The precise number of bytes will be know only by the php.ini file.

Thank you in advance

Jean

Why don't you use ftp if it's for one-time use only?

Because it is for an input from the web, from a user who would have to
painfully have to learn how to use and install ftp.

Here's a quicky:

<?php

// Name of the dir with 777 permission, to move the
// uploaded file to, without a trailing slash
$dir = "temp";

if (isset($_FILES['file']) && !$_FILES['file']['error']) {
list($name,,$tmp_name) = array_values($_FILES['file']);
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$dir/$name");
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>

<body>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

With my first trial:
This server dont accept 'post' so I replaced with get
Where do I set it to POST?Php.ini? Config.inc
---------------
in php .ini

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if
not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = "secret\EasyPHP1-7\tmp\"

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 15M

---------------------------
I replaced
<?php

//FULL PATH
$dir = "secret/EasyPHP1-7\www\~uploads\";

if (isset($_FILES['file']) && !$_FILES['file']['error']) {
list($name,,$tmp_name) = array_values($_FILES['file']);
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$dir/$name");
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>

<body>
<form method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

http://localhost/mydir/~upload/uploa...%5Caupload.zip

As far as I am aware, you cannot upload files using the GET method, you
*must* use POST

Ant.

As Anthony Plunkett pointed out, file uploads only work with the POST
method.

To enable the POST method on the server and when the server is Apache,
search for a <Limit /> section within the <Directory /> section that is
pointing to the website root.

It should look something like this (notice "POST" and "Allow from all"):

<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>

You might also see a <LimitExcept /> section, which should look like this
(notice "POST"):

<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>

See the apache website @ apache.org for more info.

Goodluck

Just to clearify; this applies to the httpd.conf file in the Apache
installation directory (in the root or in the conf subdir).

There is none?

It seems that you have your escapes mixed up. In general, you should not mix
backslashes with forward slashes and escape backquotes only, so not:

<Directory "somethingAnd//www">

But:

<Directory "somethingAnd/www">

And not:

$dir = "secret/EasyPHP1-7\www\~uploads\";

But either:

$dir = "secret/EasyPHP1-7/www/~uploads/";

Or:

$dir = "secret\\EasyPHP1-7\\www\\~uploads\\";

When using single quotes, you don't have to escape backslashes:

$dir = 'secret\EasyPHP1-7\www\~uploads\';

It also appears that you are working on a Windows system, in which case, you
should indicate the drive letter also:

<Directory "C:/somethingAnd/www">

This also applies to the DocumentRoot setting and absolute path settings in
your scripts.
