#21908 [Opn->Bgs]: File upload problems beginning in 4.3.0

ID: 21908 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: fn@panix.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: NetBSD-1.5.2 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. based on user comments the code works fine, the errors were due to configuration issues or misunderstanding of the docs. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 15:14:40] evatckovacs@netscape.net thank you. i am dumb. i saw the FILES stuff and blew it off as being irrelevant, for whatever reason. thank you again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 11:48:38] michael.mauch@gmx.de For file uploads it's $_FILES, not $_POST. Please read <http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 10:41:43] evatckovacs@netscape.net hi - i set the file upload dir but the problem is still happening and seems to be a little different. my filename variable does not get passed over in the post when in the same php program. i have not tried an html that calls a standalone php yet, but the $afile variable below holds nothing when you output contents while $crud does. maybe $_POST is not valid for filenames? or? should i just write email directly to someone? i promise i've looked at all the docs and grovelled for help locally. thank you. evatc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 13:36:48] fn@panix.com The problem for me was that upload_tmp_dir did not need to be set in 4.2.3. By default, it used /tmp. Now if it isn't set, nothing happens. However, now that it is set in the php.ini everything is working again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 13:32:40] evatckovacs@netscape.net Hello. I am also finding this error. I am actually running on Linux but everything else is the same version. this is kind of stolen out of the wrox book. the variable $afile is empty but $crud gets passed over just fine. am i referring to it incorrectly? this is making me nuts and i have an enduser crawling on me to get his scripts fixed. please help. thank you [kovacs@darth eva]$ more cispt1test.php <? function upload_form() { global $phpself; $phpself = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; print "<form name='formtest' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data' action='$phpself'>"; print "<input type='hidden' name='action' value='upload'>"; print "<input type='file' name='afile'>"; print "<input type='text' name='crud'>"; print "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='upload'>"; print "<input type='reset' name='reset' value='reset'>"; print "</form>"; } function upload_file() { global $afile; error_reporting(E_ALL); $afile = $_POST["afile"]; $crud = $_POST["crud"]; print "some stuff"; print "$afile $crud"; if (!@copy($afile,"/tmp/crud")) die ("Can't upload"); var_dump($_FILES); } ?> <html> <head><title>test</title> <meta http-equiv = "Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <? $action = $_POST["action"]; print "action = $action"; if ($action == 'upload') upload_file(); else upload_form(); ?> </body></html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
