PHP & FTP

[Smurf]

Hi everyone,

I am pulling my hair out here. I have been trying to make a simple upload script for friends and family to upload files to share with each other. The idea is to upload zip files with pics in them. I have been trying to get this to work and seem to be struggling. This is what i have tried so far which I found on another site.

<?php
$target = "MYROOTGOESHERE/uploads/incoming/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
$ok=1; 

//This is our size condition 
if ($uploaded_size > 50000000) 
{ 
echo "Your file is too large.  Its a maximum of 50Mb<br>"; 
$ok=0; 
} 

//This is our limit file type condition 
if ($uploaded_type =="text/zip") 
{ 
echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
$ok=0; 
} 

//This is our limit file type condition 
//if (!($uploaded_type=="application/zip")) {
//echo "You may only upload ZIP.<br>";
//$ok=0;
//} 

if ($ok==0) 
{ 
Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
} 
else
{
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
  {
  echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
  } 
  else {
  echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
  }
}
?>

This seems to work a treat however my webhost has the upload_max_file size and the post_max_size set to the default of 8M/2M. I have tried the ini_set procedure to increase these to 50M without any success. The file i wanna upload is 41Mb which obviosuly fails.

So, I noticed the FTP function. My first question here is does this function rely on these two php.ini variables ?

The next thing is, i cannot seem to get it to work. I have search the other posts in this forum and googled it and cannot seem to get it working.

Here is what i have been trying;

<?php
$local_file = 'c:\TB.log';  //its my understanding that this is the file on my PC
$remote_file = 'tb.log';  //its my understanding that this is the destination, i.e. file to save it to on the ftp server

$ftp_server= 'myftpserver';
$ftp_user_name = 'theusername';
$ftp_user_pass = 'thepassword';

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to".$ftp_server);


// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass) or die("Couldn't Login to FTP Server");

//ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); //you can comment or uncomment it if you using firewall
//echo "ftp pasv is on";

// upload a file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $local_file, FTP_ASCII)) {
 echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
 echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

I don't know if it makes any difference but i am trying this to the same server, i.e. its hosting my ftp and also my php/website.

All i seem to get is "There was a problem while uploading TB.log". Its really doin' mi head in so any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Wayne

if your using a free server or a basic server the company may heve a permanant upload size that applies to all files goung onto the server. Can you upload this zip through ftp without php or using a file manager from your server company?
