    PHP File Upload Fails

    Hello,

    I am trying to do a FTP file upload which works fine on my localhost but on
    my ISP server it fails. I can't seem to find where I can go to find the
    specific cause of the failure. In both cases the file is being transmitted
    to the same FTP server and using the same PHP script so it shouldn't be a
    file size or login credentials problem. Could someone please help me out and
    give me some ideas what is wrong.

    I would really appreciate any help someone could provide as I've spent many
    hours on this looking for answers. I've contacted my ISP and they've looked
    at everything and also do not have an answer.

    Thanks a lot,

    Vic

    Here is the PHP form and script I'm using:

    Form:

    <form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="fileupl oad.php" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="300000" />
    Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedf ile" size="60" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" name="continue" value="Continue " />
    </form>


    PHP:

    // set up basic connection
    $ftp_server = "ftp.showmyhors e.com";
    $conn_id = ftp_connect($ft p_server);

    // login with username and password
    $ftp_user_name = "XXX";
    $ftp_user_pass = "XXX";
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn _id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass) ;

    // check connection
    if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result )) {
    $_SESSION['message_new']= "Attempted to connect to
    $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name has failed! ";
    break;
    } else {
    //echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name" ;
    }

    // upload the file
    $source_file = $_POST["uploadedfi le"];

    $basename = preg_replace( '/^.+[\\\\\\/]/', '', $source_file );
    $filename = preg_replace( "/[^\w\.-]+/", "_", $basename );
    $ShowID = $_SESSION['ShowID'];
    $destination_fi le = $ShowID . "_" . $filename;

    echo "source_fil e: $source_file <br>";
    echo "filename : $filename <br>";
    echo "destination_fi le: $destination_fi le<br>";

    $upload = ftp_put($conn_i d, $destination_fi le, $source_file,
    FTP_BINARY);

    // check upload status
    if (!$upload) {
    $_SESSION['message_new']= "FTP upload has failed; Contact
    support@showmyh orse.com!";

    } else {
    //echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as
    $destination_fi le";
    $_SESSION['message_new']="Uploaded $filename as
    $destination_fi le";
    }

    // close the FTP stream
    ftp_close($conn _id);

    # Now add the schedule name to the database
    $connection = mysql_pconnect( $host,$user,$pa ssword)
    or die ("Couldn't connect to server.");
    $db = mysql_select_db ($database, $connection)
    or die ("Couldn't select database.");

    $query = "UPDATE ShowInfo SET ShowSchedule = '$destination_f ile'
    WHERE ShowID=$ShowID" ;
    $result = mysql_query($qu ery)
    or die("Problems encountered adding schedule information to
    database
    Query: $query <brdatabase: $database <br>");

      Re: PHP File Upload Fails

      Hi Vic --

      PHP stores information about file uploads in the $_FILES superglobal
      array, not $_POST. Using the proper array should solve your problem.

          Re: PHP File Upload Fails

          Geoffrey,

          Thanks for the reply. The FILES array doesn't contain the file name to be
          uploaded for some reason but the POST array does. What might be the reason
          for this?? What I don't understand is that since there is a file name passed
          to the FTP put (even though it's in the POST array) why wouldn't htat work?

          $target_path = $target_path . basename(
          $_FILES['userfile']['name']);

          ** The following statement when executed after the file is selected for
          upload shows nothing ***
          echo "target Path: $target_path <br>";

          ** The following statement when executed after the file is selected for
          upload contains the name of the file ***
          $source_file = $_POST["userfile"];

          $basename = preg_replace( '/^.+[\\\\\\/]/', '', $source_file );
          $filename = preg_replace( "/[^\w\.-]+/", "_", $basename );

          Thanks Geoffrey,

          Vic

              Hmmmm...well, I'm stumped. I've never seen this behavior before and
              don't really know how to explain it. The POST array should contain the
              values of the two input elements in your HTML file (MAX_FILE_SIZE and
              your submit button). The FILES array should contain the file
              information. Even with uploads disabled in php.ini, the POST array
              contents shouldn't change. For curiousity's sake, could you post the
              output of the print_r function for POST and FILES, please?

                  Hi Geoffrey,

                  yea me to! here's the print_r stuff showing userfile in the POST array. Why
                  would it matter to the FTP put which array contains the file name to be
                  uploaded? I could see that being a problem if it was an HTTP upload. Since
                  it works on my localhost going to the same FTP server I would think the
                  problem would not be in the PHP script. Here's also the php.ini info

                  FILES Array:
                  Array ( )
                  POST Array:
                  Array ( [MAX_FILE_SIZE] =30000 [userfile] =C:\\Client Databases\\Hugh es
                  Supply\\Hughes_ Projects.NET.zi p [continue] =Send File )

                  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;
                  ; File Uploads ;
                  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;
                  file_uploads = On ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads
                  upload_tmp_dir = ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded
                  files (will use system default if not specified)
                  upload_max_file size = 2M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files


                  Thanks,

                      Re: PHP File Upload Fails

                      Geoffrey,

                      I do need to do an HTTP upload and NOT FTP because it will look for the file
                      on the C drive on the server instead of the user's local drive. So maybe
                      once we figure out why the file information is not in the FILES array it
                      will work.

                      Thanks,

                      Vic

                      PHP stores information about file uploads in the $_FILES superglobal

                          Hi Vic --
                          >
                          PHP stores information about file uploads in the $_FILES superglobal
                          array, not $_POST. Using the proper array should solve your problem.
