Re: Testing file uploads using SimpleTest web tests?
Hi Josh,
Did you figure out the issue?
I am testing my php file using simpletest webtestcase. The form has file
type input where i upload files. I wrote webtestcase like this:
$this->setField('file', 'path to filename');
$this->click('Submit');
$this->assertText('file uploaded successfully');
This doesn't accept the filename and shows the test case fails in output.
Please let me know if anybody has done this before.
Thanks,
Kanaga

Re: Need help with file uploads
The files were not being accepted. Solved the problem thanks! Just in case
anyone has the same problem.
You cannot serialize file upload forms via jQuery and pass them to the
controller.

Re: Need help with file uploads
Check your PHP configuration and ensure that your file upload settings are
appropriate for the use-case.
Also, print out the _FILES array to also check to see if PHP is accepting your
upload.

Re: File uploads and Media Plugin
Hi stab,
I don't really know about ajax-upload. As I'm using plupload in one of
my projects and guess it's similar. You're right the media plugin's
transfer behavior doesn't natively handle streams, yet. Here's an
excerpt of the code I'm using to workaround that:
if ($this->RequestHandler->requestedWith('application/octet-stream'))
{
if (!$in = fopen('php://input', 'rb')) {
$this->cakeError('error500', array('api' => true));
}
$tmpFile = tempnam('/tmp', 'app_');
$tmp = fopen($tmpFile, 'wb');
while ($buf = fread($in, 4096)) {
fwrite($tmp, $buf);
}
fclose($in);
fclose($tmp);
$this->data['MediaFile']['file'] = $tmpFile;
} else {
$this->data['MediaFile'] = $this->params['form'];
}
Hope this helps,
- David

Testing file uploads using SimpleTest web tests?
Hi everybody After suffering hours of debugging the problem that my upload form worked great when used in Firefox and not working (being blackholed) using SimpleTest web tests, I finally found the problem: SimpleTest doesn't seem to recognize the file upload field, and so the SecurityComponent::_validatePost() fails because when displaying the form there is one more field than after submit, where the file field is missing in the $data array. I did some searching and found that SimpleTest should be able to simulate file uploads: "File upload testing - Can simulate the input type file tag" on http://www.simpletest.org/api/SimpleTest/tutorial_SimpleTest.pkg.html And here I found some API-information: http://simpletest.org/api_1.0.1/SimpleTest/WebTester/SimpleUploadTag.html But I didn't find any information on how to use this in practice. So for now I deactivated validatePost for the action using $this->Security->validatePost = false; in the UsersController. But it would be great if anybody could help me getting this to work using SimpleTest.

Re: Sanitize::clean breaking file uploads
Posting my solution.
function edit($id = null)
{
[...]
if (!empty($this->data))
{
$img = $this->data['Model']['image']; // save file
upload array into a variable before sanitizing
$this->data = Sanitize::clean($this->data); // perform
sanitization
if ($this->Model->save($this->data))
{
// clean data has now been saved.
// file upload logic, using the array we saved before
if (!is_uploaded_file($img['tmp_name']))
{
[...] // etc etc
}
}
}
}
No problems encountered using this approach.

Re: Sanitize::clean breaking file uploads
The file uploads are working fine without Sanitize::clean(). The only
solution I see is to handle the file validation/copy logic before
executing the sanitization. I'm puzzled.
Maybe I should mention that I'm running on my local windows machine
using XAMPP. But all the php.ini upload-related variables are set...

Re: Sanitize::clean breaking file uploads
Were the file uploads working before you used Sanitize::clean? Because
cake doesn't handle file uploads automatically. Aside from having to
set array('type'=>'file') in your $form->create() statement, you also
need to move/save the uploaded file yourself.
Unless you're manually moving the file, either to a permanent upload
directory or into a database or something, the web server (and cake)
has no way of knowing what you want to do with the file. It'll just
sit in the temp directory until the script terminates, at which point
the file will be deleted.

Sanitize::clean breaking file uploads
Hello.
I'm using Sanitize::clean for cleaning the $this->data arrays in the
controllers before saving them to the db.
example
if (!empty($this->data))
{
$this->data = Sanitize::clean($this->data);
[...]
}
The problem is that if a form contains a file input, the file is not
uploaded. The file array is correctly populated after the post (with
tmp_name and everything), but the physical file is not present in the
upload folder.
Is there any workaround for this?

I am looking to use a CakePHP form to upload a file and then submit it to another website using httpsocket. Is this possible given the current implementation of httpsocket in Cake (i.e version 1.2.6), and/ or will it be available in 1.3? Any info on how to do this appreciated.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
A few things to keep in mind are: * Don't just validate against the MIME type submitted by the client, verify the MIME type by inspecting the uploaded file directly. * Image transformations help to prevent some exploits (i.e. by stripping comment metadata). * Uploaded files shouldn't be directly accessible either only serve i.e. transformed images (see above) or obscure by using UUIDs. - David On 1 Sep., 07:21, the_woodsman wrote: > RE The media view - I try and avoid this unless it's a real security > requirement, as it means every request for a simple image requires > CakePHP to handle it, vastly increasing the load on yoru servers, and > the latency for that file. > > An alternative is to save each file based on a UUID, or similar - this > means you can serve the image files directly, but it's basically > impossible to guess another user's image UUIDs, meaning it's still > very secure. > > (That's my understanding - I'd be interested if anyone disagrees?) > > On Aug 31, 7:55 pm, Miles J wrote: > > > Regarding the mimetype, it allows all mimetypes listed in the config > > folder.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
@woodsman - No I agree with you. I was simply showing him the media view because you he wanted to supply downloads/files to users.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
RE The media view - I try and avoid this unless it's a real security requirement, as it means every request for a simple image requires CakePHP to handle it, vastly increasing the load on yoru servers, and the latency for that file. An alternative is to save each file based on a UUID, or similar - this means you can serve the image files directly, but it's basically impossible to guess another user's image UUIDs, meaning it's still very secure. (That's my understanding - I'd be interested if anyone disagrees?) On Aug 31, 7:55 pm, Miles J wrote: > Regarding the mimetype, it allows all mimetypes listed in the config > folder.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
Regarding the mimetype, it allows all mimetypes listed in the config folder. If you want to restrict the type, use the file validation behavior. For the second part of your question. You would do a normal controller action setup like /files/download/1 and then use the media view and your own logic to determine the file. http://book.cakephp.org/view/489/Media-Views --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
Hey,
yeah that's what I intend to do. I used your Uploader to upload files
for testing purposes, this works well, BUT I think that the allowed
mimetypes are not working as they should. I can upload ANY file,
although I allowed only JPEG and GIF to the plugin. That's a bit
weird, but I'm sure I'll find out why this is happening.
Let's assume we have done the work for uploading the files, store the
files with a unique name in a separate folder etc. but HOW can I
prevent a user getting files from other users? I think at the moment
every user can just type in a filename and if it's there, he will be
able to download it, no matter if it belongs to that user or not.
I've seen several solutions to this issue, mostly there is a php-
action involved (let's say download.php?filename.ext) where the
permission for the user is checked.
But there has to be a cake-style solution to this, right? In my DB I
store the user_id to every file that's uploaded, so I can check by
$this->Auth->User('id') wether the file belongs to the requesting
user, or not. But the direct download is not prevented.
Would a certain entry in the ROUTES.PHP file bring any help to that?
Maybe to redirect every request to the folder webroot/files to an
action that checks the permissions or sth. like that...?
I know it's kinda hard to understand what I mean, but if I see once
how to to such things, I won't bother you guys anymore, I swear :)

DD

Yeah but thats pretty pointless if your just uploading images. But yes what you said would be the ideal situation if you want to do a download system, or supply files to users.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
There is one thing to keep in mind when uploading files and that's the security risks in uploading files to the webroot where people can access them directly. It's generally recommended to upload files to a directory outside of the webservers document root and give them a unique name, so that the file can't be accessed directly. Store a reference in the database as a pointer to the file on the file system. Then you can use Cakes Media view to access the file. This helps prevent people from uploading a malicious file and then executing it on the server. On top of that you can do all kinds of server authentication or even use the ACL to grant proper permissions to the files.

Hey, this looks nice, and I like the fact that it can handle mutliple files at one time! I will try to implement this into my project, and then start to customize it to fit my requirements.

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
Hey, I couldn't wait and tried out your Plugin. And, well, it works like a charme! It does everything I want to do right from the start, the data I need is stored, I can even set the path where the files are uploaded to within the action (so I can save the files in a separate directory for each user!). This is by far the best and easiest to use plugin I've ever seen! I was searching the web for weeks to get a working component but NONE worked well! I'm really excited now and would love to go on with my project now, but I gotta go to sleep because of work tomorrow :( ! The first thing I'll do tomorrow afternoon is working on that topic! Thanks a lot man, you really saved my day!

Re: File Uploads: What security-issues I have to take care of?
A few here: - Check the extension as well as the mimetype - Only allow certain types - Check the filesize if needed - Make sure the file is a valid file resource - Make sure there are no errors upon uploading I however have create a file upload plugin.

Unit testing and file uploads
Hi, I'm working in a plugin for my system to manage uploads. It includes an Uploadable behavior. Is it possible to unit-test the upload part in some way? That is, is there a way to "mock" a file upload to the server. My "B plan" is try to isolate the move_uploaded_file() part into a method, to be able to simulate the results of the upload to test the rest of the behavior. Could this be a correct strategy?

Apologies for the late reply - I solved this, it was a really silly
error on my part!
I was accessing the array but not the specific field I needed.

Re: File uploads - getting an undefined index.
OK, so I have solved the undefined index problem - the view file was
wrong, it should have been "Tip.image" instead of just image. However,
I changed it to "Img.pic" so as not to clash with image.
I'm now getting the following error when trying to "add":
Notice (8): Array to string conversion [APP\controllers\components
\image.php, line 50]
Warning (2): strrpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
[APP\controllers\components\image.php, line 145]
I've done some searching, and I understand that the error means an
array is being given as opposed to a string, but I didn't really come
across a fix? Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

File uploads - getting an undefined index.
I'm trying to add the ability to upload files on an existing add
method within a controller, but no matter which method I use to try
and upload files I get an "undefined index" error on the name of the
field within the view and I cannot understand why.
I thought it may have been a problem with the components I was trying,
but after stripping back to a simple bit of code found here (http://
www.davidgolding.net/cakephp/using-the-file-functions-in-cakephp.html)
- I am still getting the error.
Code looks like this:
// Controller:
if ($this->data['Tip']['image']) {
$file = new File($this->data['Tip']['image']);
$ext = $file->ext();
if ($ext != 'jpg' && $ext != 'jpeg' && $ext !=
'gif' && $ext !=
'png') {
$this->Session->setFlash('You may only upload
image files.');
$this->render();
} else {
$date = $this->data['Tip']['created'];
$filename =
$date['year'].'-'.$date['month'].'-'.$date['day'].'-
post-image.'.$ext;
$data = $file->read();
$file->close();
$file = new
File(WWW_ROOT.'/img/'.$filename,true);
$file->write($data);
$file->close();
}
}
// View file:
create('Tip',array('type'=>'file')); ?>
input('comment_count');
echo $form->input('name');
echo $form->input('slug');
echo $form->input('description');
echo $form->input('image',array('type'=>'file'));
echo $form->input('expires');
echo $form->input('rating');
echo $form->select('Tip.category_id', $cat_list, null, array(),
true);
echo $form->input('site_id');
echo $form->input('user_id');
echo $form->input('Tag.name',array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => __('Add Tags',true),
'after' => __('Seperate each tag with a
comma. Eg: family, sports, icecream',true)
));
?>
end('Submit');?>
There is more in the controller file, but I thought I would include
just the relevant information for the time being. Is it possible that
something else in there is conflicting with the code? I tried also
adding ['tmp_name'] but no joy...
Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: File uploads timing out
Are you using safari by any chance? I sometimes find that safari gets
stuck while doing POSTs containing files, while firefox doesn't have a
problem and I've never got to the bottom of it. But this was happening
to me before I started using cake as well as now.

Re: File uploads timing out
You didn't mention what technique you were using to upload files,
however here is one idea.
If you are doing a flash upload, some browsers (can't remember which)
won't complete the request until data is returned from the server. So
in my upload action I always output a space. exit(' ');
Also, are you testing locally or on a server? Do any errors show up in
the apache, php or cakephp logs?
Cheers,
Adam

Re: File Uploads
I wouldn't save to a DB. Just move the file based upon the user id or something and automatically create folders based on the user id or whatever. I would think it to be a security hazard if you did do that. Also, you will increase the size of your db which could degrade performance. People are generally very liberal in their use of "findAll()" in Cake. Loading ALL.. the image data would be quite interesting if you had many images. Whether you display those images or not, just parsing all that to an array...mmm...so you gotta be careful how you handle data. NOT that it's impossible to store the images in a DB table and not that it can't be effective to do so. It could also tidy up a bunch of directory structures all over the site and calling back those images could perhaps be very easy, rather than messing with DS this and DS that yada yada and if it's installed to a different path on another server...you get the idea. There's two sides to the coin. I have a fairly simple file upload component that I've put together, it's really just snippets of various parts of other file upload scripts found on the wiki and cakeforge. I will ultimately try to post it as a tutorial soon. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

also, if you want to store the data of the file in the database instead
of just in a file, you should also base64_encode(); the data before
saving it to either a blog or text datatype.
when you want to retreive you do:
http://us2.php.net/header if you want to know how to make the
file downloadable
header('Content-type: '.$var['MyFileModel']['type']);
// output the file itself
echo base64_decode($var['MyFileModel']['datafield']);

Re: File Uploads
Sorry, after a bit of a reread don't forget to record the path of your file somewhere. Either in the database itself or I tend to include it as a constant or attribute of my model so I can move stuff easily. cheers, mikee On 05/12/06, Mikee Freedom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Paul, > > File uploads can be tricky sometimes. > > Have you gone through the information found in the PHP manual? > > http://nz.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php > > Some good pointers in there. > > In a nutshell, a file input field is going to be interpreted by PHP as > an array.

Re: File Uploads
Hey Paul, File uploads can be tricky sometimes. Have you gone through the information found in the PHP manual? http://nz.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Some good pointers in there. In a nutshell, a file input field is going to be interpreted by PHP as an array. It is full of data about the file the user has uploaded. Do a debug() (or good old print_r()) on the $this->data array or even better on the field that uploads the file. You won't be able to get Cake to insert that information straight in to the database, you're going to have to run some code to process it first and then update your $this->data array prior to saving. What I tend to do is have my file upload as a seperate input field not attached to the data array. i.e. Then in my controller I look to see whether a file has been uploaded successfully using: $this->params['form']; SEE: http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/controllers What I would be looking for in this instance would be $this->params['form']['my_file_upload']; Then I run my file upload processes i.e. move_uploaded_file() and all that jazz. If this goes successfully then I update the file_location field of my model. $this->data['MyFileModel']['file-location'] = $this->params['form']['my_file_upload']['name']; and then I can save my model. As I said do a debug on : $this->params['form']['my_file_upload']; and you'll know more about what is going on. I've got a file_handler component that I wrote that I will put in to the pastes: http://cakephp.org/pastes/show/56da1a8477e9814a877e64014d3babbf Your best reference for this stuff is the PHP manual - absolute gold!

File Uploads
Ok so i am having some major issues getting file uploads going on my cake app. Firstly what seems to happen is as soon as i add 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' to mthe form in my view, my call to $this->Model->save($this->data) in the controller spits the dummy as the file field is now an array of the related file info (tmp_name,name,size etc) and cake spits this at me: Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/users/visionnz/cake/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php on line 502 And the sql insert also fails as the file value is now Array as opposed to 'filename', so corrupting the sql. If anyone has any pointers how the hell i get my data to save and also if anyone could suggest a good source for a file upload component - i have tried a couple neither of wich i got to test properly due to this other problem. Any feedback is much appreciated, i have spent many hours pulling my hair out and scouring the net to no avail for a solution to my problem!! Cheers.

Re: File uploads, image uploads
hi jon and all
what is on line 219 of your
/myserver/app/controllers/businesses_controller.php ?
for file upload, I actually use this component which does perfectly the job :
http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=36
I've written my own File model, FilesController and stuff around it,
all of which are quite simple (the files table has only
"id","name","location","mime","extension")...
and I populate the db by manipulating the $this->params['data'] array
after doing the FileHandler stuff, and before saving the model
for you it would be probably somethin like :
$this->params['data']['Business']['imageFile'] =
$_FILES[filename][name]; // or in my case :
$this->fileHandler->filename
$this->Business->save($this->params['data']);
(I don't know if it's the "good" way, but it works quite well to me)
(my File::add() function is in the bottom of this msg)
anyway it seems to me more a CakePHP MVC issue than a problem of file
upload itself (you could get this error trying to populate your db
with any "off the conventions" stuff)
could you please tell us more about your businesses table, your
Business model and you businessesController ?
clemos
= = = = =
function add(){
if(empty($this->params['data'])){
}else{
if($this->FileHandler->upload("upload","app/webroot/files/",null,true)){
$this->params['data']['Fichier']['location'] =
$this->webroot .
substr($this->FileHandler->location,12); //don't remember why it's
substr 12...
$this->params['data']['Fichier']['filename'] =
$this->FileHandler->filename;
$this->params['data']['Fichier']['mime'] =
$this->FileHandler->type; // added this property to FileHandler
component myself
$this->params['data']['Fichier']['extension'] =
strtolower($this->FileHandler->ext); // and this one too
$this->Fichier->set($this->params['data']);
$this->Fichier->save();
$this->flash('fichier
enregistré','/fichiers/');
}else{
$this->flash('erreur
#'.$this->FileHandler->error.' de
téléchargement du fichier ','/fichiers/');
}

Re: File uploads, image uploads
jb- thanks for the input but that isn't exactly the issue. What I don't quite get is a) why I'm getting an "index" error, and b) how to populate the db (with the imageFile [name] value in addition to the other values passed by the form) at the same time I'm uploading the file into a specific directory. BTW enctype is not the issue, it is in the form tag correctly (I mentioned that in the original post). Just still trying to get the hang of Cake overall; I'm getting most things to work here and there but it seems like every new thing I want to do takes 6 hrs to figure out.

firstly, make sure you have the correct enctype for your form:
formTag('/controller/action/','post',array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'));
?>
then, you can access the imageFile like so in your controller:
$this->params['form']['imageFile']
not used the files component, so can't help with that, but the above
should get you started. it's not very tricky really, once you know how
cake works with form vars.

File uploads, image uploads
I want to populate a row in a database, and upload an image (into a
directory, not the db) from the same form. I'd also like to grab the
$_FILES[filename][name] param to go into the database.
I have NO idea how to do this in Cake - no problem for me otherwise,
but I don't even know where to begin when it comes to doing this
w/Cake. (MVC Kung Fu is weak)
Right now I've got a controller that functions fine to CRUD the data. I
tried out the Files Component by Nicolas Cohen (put it in
app/controllers/components as files.php)
http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=7
added this to the view:
file('imageFile') ?>
and this to the controller:
add()
{
yada yada...
if ($this->Business->save($this->params['data']))
{
if ($_FILES['imageFile'])
{
$this->Files->saveAs('imageFile', $imgId,
WWW_ROOT .
'img'.DS.'uploads'.DS);
}
//cleanUpFields(effective_to_dt);
$this->flash('Your listing has been
saved.','/businesses');
}
else { yada yada }
}
I get this error:
Notice: Undefined index: imageFile in
/myserver/app/controllers/businesses_controller.php on line 219
Is it trying to add imageFile to the db?
FWIW, the upload dir is 777, and the form has the correct enctype.
I've spent WAY too many hours on this one, searching the manual, wiki,
group, lurking on IRC... it's driving me nuts! any help is GREATLY
appreciated. If I can get it working I'll probably write a tutorial to
save a future baker this headache.
Thanks folks

Re: File uploads go where?
Oh... apparently they go in /app/webroot/img... what a surprise.

File uploads go where?
I followed the tutorial found here on handling file uploads, but I'm stuck on one thing. http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_frm/thread/fe4c9d7739f8be2a/4bede155456ff93f?q=file+upload&rnum=4#4bede155456ff93f Normally when PHP fails a file-upload it gives me a bunch of warnings, but it doesn't seem to do that with this tutorial. What I've basically figured however, is that whatever directory the images are supposed to be going to either isn't created or doesn't have permissions set correctly. So my question is this: Where exactly is WWW_ROOT.IMAGES_URL and do I need to create it?
