How to upload a file using a form - Page 3

sebastianmuntean · #61 11-26-2007, 02:50 PM

Maybe VH lowered the limit to 2MB... However, it's very annoying, I'll try to talk with VH guys about that because I cannot teach my client how to use FTP to upload his videos on his website

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Can some help, I tried all this and (the steps to allow visitors upload flies and images) but when I try my upload form and click submit it says this;

Not Found

The requested URL /uploadaction.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

why is this can someone help?

Did you create the "uploadaction" page and publish it as php ?

hi...i know this thread was from a long time ago and i'm hoping i can still get some help... i followed these instructions as best i could, then when i tried to test my form, it came up with a screen saying
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/ezioxokc/public_html/members/uploadaction.php on line 156"
could someone please tell me what this means and what i've done wrong?
this is gonna sound stupid but was i meant to delete the red writing? is that what i did wrong? or is it because i put it into a password protected directory inside the public_html folder?

sorry to be such a pain!

thanks, jess

P.S. i have tried ABVFP but it doesn't seem to agree with me :( but now i appear to be having the same trouble with this way...

ABVFP is far more versatile than this script. And it will also mail you the attached files.

However, we can't help you with this error, because this depends on your code. You must have missed a closing } somewhere.

Hello, how can i make the script to filter the file extensions?

Like i want that possible file types to upload are just .ZIP and .PNG

Can someone help me please? Or can someone suggest me... How to protect the upload from hackers?

You need to use a code like

$upload_Name1 = $_FILES[$file_key]['name'];
$upload_Name = $prefix.str_replace(" ", "_", $upload_Name1);
$upload_Size = ($_FILES[$file_key]['size']);
$upload_Temp = ($_FILES[$file_key]['tmp_name']);
$upload_Type = ($_FILES[$file_key]['type']);
if($upload_Type != "image/gif" AND $upload_Type != "image/pjpeg" AND $upload_Type != "image/jpeg" AND $upload_Type != "image/png" AND $upload_Type != "image/tiff" AND $upload_Type != "image/bmp"){
$error1 = "$file_key file type is '$upload_Type' which is not allowed! \n";
// Add here a "include" command to include an error page
}
