File Uploads Script Does Not Work?

[Ghamdan]

I am working on File uploads and the script does not work.

I have checked for php.ini and everything is fine.

file_uploads = on

;upload_tmp_dir =

upload_max_filesize = 2m

max_file_uploads = 20

=====================

I am using windows 7.

uploads folder is inside htdoc and the web root folder inside htdoc.

============================================================

How can I fix this issue?

Thank you

What error are you getting?

[Ghamdan]

It does not show errors or print anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dan]

You will likely then need to turn your error reporting on. It is defaulted to off. What you want to do is in the php.ini file set the display_errors flag to on and then restart Apache. Try your page again and you should see an error or warning message. Note, it is mentioned several times in the books that you would only want to do this for your development server. Don't have this turned on for your live site as it can lead to security issues.

[Ghamdan]

Even I have tried to upload a file to a live server but it is not working.

display_errors error is already on.

That is really strange !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

====================================================================

 

; http://php.net/display-errors

display_errors = On

====================================================================

; The display of errors which occur during PHP's startup sequence are handled

; separately from display_errors. PHP's default behavior is to suppress those

; errors from clients. Turning the display of startup errors on can be useful in

; debugging configuration problems. But, it's strongly recommended that you

; leave this setting off on production servers.

; Default Value: Off

; Development Value: On

; Production Value: Off

; http://php.net/display-startup-errors

display_startup_errors = On

You have a typo in your script. The line below is incorrect.

 

// Check for an uploaded file:

if(isset($_FILE['upload'])) {

 

It should be:

 

// Check for an uploaded file:

if(isset($_FILES['upload'])) {

 

Happens to me all the time.

[Ghamdan]

Well done Dan,

I do not know what to say.............

Thanks a lot, Dan.

[Larry]

Here's a tip: one exclamation mark at a time will do. In fact, you don't need to use exclamation marks at all, nor bold. My thanks to Dan for helping!

I dont know why this is happening and hoping that someone here my have an idea??

im using MAMP on php 5.4.4 and my OS is MAC OSX 10.7.5.

 

here is the code below, I have triple checked it but im gonna but it here just in case:

You should so a print_r($_FILES['the_file']) to see more information about what's going on.

[conorarcher]

thanks larry!

it seems to have confirmed that nothing is wrong tho. i got error 0.

 

Array ( [name] => uploading tester.jpeg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpzs45VT [error] => 0 => 5876 )

 

Ive just figured it out, line 16,

if (move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['the_file']['tmp_file'], "../uploads/{$_FILES['the_file']['name']}"))

 

it should be ['tmp_name']

 

sorry for wasting time.

[Larry]

Ah, excellent. Kudos for figuring that out and thanks for sharing the solution.
