RE: [PHP] HTTP POST FILE UPLOAD HELP - REVISITED
You're absolutely correct. The script works perfectly fine now, and I have you to thank. I went back to "Handling file uploads" and re-read the entire thing. I guess I missed the part that said the following before the actual script example. My fault and my apologies. Thanks Jason, and thanks to all the others who replied as well.

Because otherwise you'll know that "the file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the request if it has not been moved away or renamed." If you didn't 'simplify' the example and removed the all important copy() or move_uploaded_file() then you would have had something that worked! -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Mount St. Helens should have used earth control. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] HTTP POST FILE UPLOAD HELP - REVISITED
Sorry about that guys, here is a bit more info that might be useful:
I forgot to tell you that I'm working on a Windows XP box with full rights,
which means the default temporary directory is C:\WINDOWS\Temp and there are
no limitations on what I can and cannot access on the system (running as
system administrator). I did change that default to C:\PHP\tmp_uploads. I
ran this script with the default temp directory as well, same result.
I tried the code at http://www.php.net/manual/sk/features.file-upload.php
and listed the results of the test below. I simplified the code a little,
and here it is:
--[clip
start]
Filename: " . $_FILES['userfile']['name']
. " Mime-Type: " . $_FILES['userfile']['type']
. " File Size: " . $_FILES['userfile']['size'] . " bytes"
. " Temporary File Name: " . $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
. " Error: " . $_FILES['userfile']['error'];
} else {
?>
Send this file:
--[clip
end]
Here is what's happening:
2. When the submit button is pushed, the files are uploaded through the form
but the temporary file is never created on the system. I did a search on the
entire C: drive for the temporary file that should have been created, but
it's not there.
Here is the data received after the file is supposedly uploaded with a GIF
image:
The temporary file exists
Filename: icon_processing.gif
Mime-Type: image/gif
File Size: 408 bytes
Temporary File Name: C:/PHP/tmp_uploads\php93.tmp
Error: 0
Here is the data received after the file is supposedly uploaded with a JPG
image:
The temporary file exists
Filename: Sunset.jpg
Mime-Type: image/pjpeg
File Size: 71189 bytes
Temporary File Name: C:/PHP/tmp_uploads\php95.tmp
Error: 0
NOTE: The error code 0 means that there was no error uploading the file.
THE QUESTION: Shouldn't PHP automatically create a temporary file of the
uploaded image? Is there something I'm missing in the php.ini settings?
If you have any other questions that might help you further your probe into
this problem, please let me know. Thanks...
