I'm trying to add a file upload script in php to a website I'm designing. I've used an online example (I know it's not secure and I plan on making it secure, I just want the basic functionality working first).
Basically what's happening is that when I click the "submit" button, the page stalls and says "loading xyz server.." forever and doesn't ever go to the post action php page! This is very frustrating and I can't see why it won't work!
The code is below and I've tried this on 2 different servers with same results. I'd be very grateful if someone could let me know what I'm possibly doing wrong?
<html>
<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="do.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploaded_file" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
//Сheck that we have a file
if((!empty($_FILES["uploaded_file"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0)) {
//Check if the file is JPEG image and it's size is less than 350Kb
$filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
$ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
if (($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") &&
($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"] < 350000)) {
//Determine the path to which we want to save this file
$newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload/'.$filename;
//Check if the file with the same name is already exists on the server
if (!file_exists($newname)) {
//Attempt to move the uploaded file to it's new place
if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
echo "It's done! The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
} else {
echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
}
} else {
echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]." already exists";
}
} else {
echo "Error: Only .jpg images under 350Kb are accepted for upload";
}
} else {
echo "Error: No file uploaded";
}
?>
Thanks very much for your time, I have searched for hours to fix this with no luck!
Nevermind! It turns out it was something to do with the wireless network at my University. I got home, refreshed the page and it worked fine. I will have to have words with the system administrator about the time I wasted trying to solve a problem made by them.
Thanks for the help anyway guys,
Scott
