Apache :: File Uploading failure via PHP

davidapache · Joined: 08 Aug 2015 Posts: 25 Location: usa, detroit

Hello

My computer spec: Window XP 32 bit Home, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3.5.
When uploading the file, always, failure are occurred: there is no file under c:\windows\temp.

Simple PHP Code:

if($_POST['submit']) {

$name = $_FILES["upload"]["name"];
$temp = $_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"];
$type = $_FILES["upload"]["type"];
$size = $_FILES["upload"]["size"];

echo "$name<br>$temp<br>$type<br>$size";

if (move_uploaded_file($name,$temp)) {
echo "Uploaded sucessed<br>";
}
//echo "<img src ='$name'>";
else { echo "failed<br>";
}
}
else {

header("Location: upload_file.html");
}

paint.png supposed to be uploaded to apache server
Output of html: paint.png
c:\windows\temp\php132.tmp
image/x-png
67213 failed

as shown in output, return value of move_uploaded_file is 0 (which is failure.)

I checked php.ini/httpds.conf for file uploading configuration. it seems like correctly setting up.

Should I increase connection timeout time from apache?
If yes, how can timeout time be increased?
Is it related to my PC itself?

Your support would be appreciated.

Thanks,
davidapache

Hello David, it looks like you may be looking for the information that is here:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

The code below may be relevant to you problem. Only guessing though, since you omitted the input part of your code.

Hello Wait

Adding html file calling php file.
<html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/
1999/xhtml" xml:lang = "en"
lang = "en">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content = "text/html;
charset= utf-8" />
<title>Uploading an Image </title>
<style type="text/css" title="text/css"
media = "all">
.error {
font-weight:bold
color:#C00;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Uploading Files</h1>
<hr>
<form action = "upload_file.php" method= "post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="90000" />
File: <input type="file" name = "upload">
<input type = "submit" name= "submit" value ="Uploading File Now">

</form>
</body>
</html>

Total file size is about 68k. But still the same failure is occurred.

Please let me know if you get the same error.

javascript:emoticon(' Embarassed

')

Hello David, I would be happy to try it.

I'm still not sure what your setup is though:
1) The html file and php files are both on a remote server?
2) OR The server and php are both on your PC, and you are doing everything from your pc, there is no remote server? This I cannot try.

Just in case, are you testing '$_FILES['userfile']['error']' somewhere? If this is what is giving you a value of '0', it means that there are no errors:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php

The setup below worked in Firefox 41.0 and IE8 on Windows xp. Both the html file and php were on a remote server, together in public_html/ directory. Hope it helps!

Output displayed by receiver.php:

Hello Wait

Set up environment: PC is window xp home version, not professional.
using http://localhost/upload.php, to make sure that file is copy to C:\Window\Temp folder as default, but

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['name'],$_FILE['userfile']['tmp_name'])

Output:
File received ok
File name: mc.jpg
File type: image/jpeg
File size: 83503
File temp: C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php13D.tmp

However, file is not stored in C:\windows\temp\.

I heard that Liinux need to change the setting for file permission, but in the window xp (home version), it is not required.

Thanks,

Hello David, unfortunately I cannot try your setup, however, the file may be getting deleted after the script is done:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3817360/where-does-php-save-temporary-files-during-uploading

Also, try this search in Google:
"http://localhost/upload.php C:\WINDOWS\Temp\"

Apparently it's a common thing people have struggled with. Maybe you could enlighten me on why this is done/needed? Smile

. Maybe after you have figured out what the problem is, don't want to take up your time now.

Edit
I managed to install Apache and php on my Windows xp. This example is working.

Some tweaks to the code above. In upload.php:
