PHP - Check File Size Before Upload

files that upload during insert/submit form was gone , only files upload during the update remain , is the way query for update multiple files is wrong ?

$targetDir1= "folder/pda-semakan/ic/";
if(isset($_FILES['ic'])){
     $fileName1 = $_FILES['ic']['name'];
 $targetFilePath1 = $targetDir1 . $fileName1;
 //$main_tmp2 = $_FILES['ic']['tmp_name'];
$move2 =move_uploaded_file($_FILES["ic"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath1);
}

$targetDir2= "folder/pda-semakan/sijil_lahir/";
if(isset($_FILES['sijilkelahiran'])){
     $fileName2 = $_FILES['sijilkelahiran']['name'];
 $targetFilePath2 = $targetDir2 . $fileName2;
$move3 =move_uploaded_file($_FILES["sijilkelahiran"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath2);
}

$targetDir3= "folder/pda-semakan/sijil_spm/";
if(isset($_FILES['sijilspm'])){
     $fileName3 = $_FILES['sijilspm']['name'];
 $targetFilePath3 = $targetDir3 . $fileName3;
$move4 =move_uploaded_file($_FILES["sijilspm"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath3);
}



$query1=("UPDATE semakan_dokumen set student_id='$noMatrik', email= '$stdEmail', surat_tawaran='$fileName', ic='$fileName1',sijil_lahir='$fileName2',sijil_spm= '$fileName3' where email= '$stdEmail'");

 

Is there a way I can get the .jpg file in kilobytes from a remote url and check it to make sure it does not exceed 40 kilobytes before it saves the remote url into my database?

Hi,

I wanted to realize an upload form for a max. file size of 5GB. Don't ask me why, but my friend needs that.
Now I set up a webserver with ISPConfig and this interface provides a lot of features including openbasedir.
Uploading files up to 80MB is no problem but choosing bigger files causes the following errors:

[Mon Sep 12 23:39:03 2011] [warn] [client XX.XX.XXX.XXX] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 97477678 bytes) in Unknown on line 0, referer: hxxp://www.mydomain.com/kontakt-upload.html

As I see the upload get's buffered in the PHP Memory area instead directly to the harddrive.
How could I fix that?

Hi,

I'm developing a code that uploads images. I need to verify if the image have the minimum size of 100*100 pixels before the upload. How can I do this?

Best Regards,

Sorry for my bad english.

Hey there so I'm using the below code to upload images/files to my server via ftp. The issue I've found is that anything bigger than 200KB either stalls out and partially uploads or doesn't upload at all.

I've set my php.ini file to have upload_max_filesize = 1000M and post_max_size = 1000M. And still anything bigger than 200KB won't upload right. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using php version 5.2.14 fyi. Thanks so much.

<?if(!isset($_POST["submit"])){?>

<form action="index.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload image" />

</form>

Hi

I am running debian lenny, apache2 php5. My fail upload fails for large file sizes. A 6.2 MB file uploads file, but a 10.2Mb file fails. I have set the Max file size to 50MB and max_execution to 600  etc in php.ini, but still have the same problems. I  have noticed many others having similar problems. Is there a solution?

(1) What does this actually do? (compress it?)

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("image.jpg");
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($image);

By using this rather than displaying by using www.site.com/image.jpg it reduces file size of an image from 2.5mb to 0.5mb !!

(2) ImageMagick can't get these results. Am I doing something wrong? If I change the pixel size of an image in ImageMagick then I can reduce its file size, but (1) above reduces file size regardless of changing pixel size.

I have an array of $fl
By using values of this array, i want to create a new string.
I need string size will be maximum 200 characters.
When i try below code snipped, $f value is added to string two times.
How can i add $f to array only one time, with checking size of string.
Thank you

Code: [Select]
$fl=getsomelist(); // gives an array
$userList='';
foreach ($fl as $f) {
    if ( strlen($userList .= $f) <= (200) ) {
        $userList .= $f;
    } else {
        break;
    }
}

Now that image is created but the TN is not

//Edit
Just a note.
I have ini_set('memory_limit', 16MB);
if you notice the allocated memory is less than the memory allowed.

In this multi file upload form, choose three images, click submit and preview the images on the preview page. If the user wishes to delete or replace an image, click edit and the form will go back to the previous page. Select the replace radio button for example on one of the three images and select a new image from the file input prompt and click submit. The form will go to the preview page again to display the images. During this process the image names are being input into a table and the images are being moved to a directory.

The table is

  `id`  AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `image0`
  `image1`
  `image2`
  `status`

So input name='image[image0]' can be directed to table `image0` and so on.

The code for keep and delete work fine, but how do I replace an image?
I have two foreach blocks. The first one deletes the image file from the directory and deletes the image name from the table, but the second foreach dose not move the new image file into the directory.
Thanks.

<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='replace' />

Hiya,

Firstly, I'm a complete novice, apologies! But I have got my upload.php working which is nice. I will post the code below.

However, I would now like to restrict the file size and file type to only word documents.

I currently have a restriction of 200KB but it's not working - no idea why as I've looked at other similar codes and they look the same.

Also, just to complicate things - can I stop files overwriting each other when uploaded? At the moment, if 2 people upload files with the same name one will overwrite the other.

Is this too many questions in 1?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Code below:

Code: [Select]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="careers.php" method="POST">
        Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />

</form>

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 200) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //This is our limit file type condition 
 if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
 { 
 echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
 if ($ok==0) 
 {

Hello, all: been trying to convert this little single-file upload to multiple by naming each file form-field as "userfile[]" as it's supposed to automatically treat them as an array.. but no luck!  Can you guide me as to what am I doing wrong??
appreciate the help!

   Upload file: <input name="userfile[]" type="file" id="userfile[]">
   <input type="submit" value="Upload">
   <input type="hidden" name="seenform">
   </form>

}

['drama_image'] is the name of the file

I wanna echo it out in the box of file upload so when I save , the default picture will still be there instead of being overwritten as the box does not have any value in it.

So, I'm learning how to upload pictures into a system from my awesome PHP book. I've looked and looked through the script but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Goal:
The script is meant to save a full version of the image in the images folder and a thumbnail in the thumbnail folder.
Bug:
The full image does not appear in any folder, and the thumbnail is created but its put in the images folder.

I've checked the GD library, and everything is supported.

Any help appreciated.

I havent included the whole title as it wouldnt let me but I was wondering if someone could help me on this?

I know this is possible as torrentflux caters for this but unsure of where to start.

I dont want to allow file or directory uploads or creation in my /etc/php.ini file (this is turned off).

Yet then torrentflux allows me to link a torrent from an external source (using legal downloads of course  ) but then it uploads it on my server and creates folders on a per user basis.

How is this possible can someone give me some pointers please?

I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.
