Hello all…my php knowledge isn’t advanced enough to fully write any decent php scripts so I found this upload script online and I can’t seem to get it to work right. here’s the code:
<?php
// Configuration - Your Options
$allowed_filetypes = array('.jpg','.gif','.bmp','.png','.jpeg',); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
$max_filesize = 3145728; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB).
$upload_path = 'removed for security'; // The place the files will be uploaded to (currently a 'files' directory).
$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
$ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.
// Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.
if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');
// Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user.
if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');
// Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.
if(!is_writable($upload_path))
die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');
// Upload the file to your specified path.
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename))
echo 'Your file upload was successful, view the file <a href="' . $upload_path . $filename . '" title="Your File">here</a>'; // It worked.
else
echo 'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.'; // It failed :(.
?>
when I go to actually upload a .jpg file, it returns this:
The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.
I just checked a different file type…the file type was a .gif image from a site I manage…it gave me this error:
You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.
the directory where the upload goes to is chmod to 777 and I have the entire path in the upload path:
public_html/X/X/X/uploads
also, while I’m asking on here…would simple adding .zip to the allowable file types allow users to upload zips?
ok, so I removed the . before the allowed file types
$allowed_filetypes = array(‘jpg’,‘gif’,‘bmp’,‘png’,‘jpeg’,‘zip’,); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.
and tried uploading a file named:
04 Apr. 28.jpg
and got this error:
The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.
I assume by the pathinfo link you referenced, you’re talking about this area in the .php code?
$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).
$ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.
I’m not actually sure what to do to remove the restriction…can I simply remove strpos($filename,‘.’) ?
for my upload path, I have it set to:
$upload_path = ‘./uploads’;
it keeps dumping the photos in the ./form path which is where the upload.php file exists…if I try to do the full path to upload folder it gives me
You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.
if I move the upload.php file into the ./uploads folder to just have it dump it right into there and specify ./uploads/upload.php it returns this:
500 error
