Re: [symfony-users] File size validation?

[Nathan]

This is actually a php limit. Not a Symfony one. There's not much you can do
besides increasing your php max_post_size value. (but I wouldn't do this).

[symfony-users] File size validation?

[Mark Smith]

Hi,

I am trying to implement file size validation for an upload field on a
form.

For security / performance the php.ini post_max_size config setting is
set to 8 mb.

Now I want to limit the file size upload to about 1 mb. I am using the
built in sfValidatorFile:

$this->setValidator("file", new sfValidatorFile(array('max_size' =>
100, 'mime_types' => array('text/plain'),'required'=>false)));

This works ok if the user uploads a 2 mb file, but if the
post_max_size is exceeded by the user trying to upload a file of say
10mb, a 500 error page is produced! This is not very friendly and it
makes it look like the page is broken, when actually it is a simple
validation error.

A way to request the browser to limit the file size would be
acceptable, and the 500 page would be reserved for bad requests
But sadly after a quick google it doesn't look like that is possible.

How should this problem be dealt with?

Thanks

[symfony-users] File Size validation not working...

[Sumedh]

I want to allow users to upload image files of upto 1 MB in size...

I tried with YML...

fields:
...
  file:
file:   True
sfFileValidator:
  mime_types:
- 'image/jpeg'
- 'image/png'
- 'image/gif'
- 'image/bmp'
  mime_types_error: Please upload only PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP images
  max_size: 1024000
  max_size_error:   Max size is 1024Kb

It doesn't work...it correctly checks for file type...but it doesn't
give any error for file size...it doesn't upload it either if it's
greater than 1 MB...but doesn't generate any error...just goes to
success page...



In code, I tried this -

$fileName = $this->getRequest()->getFileName('file');
$fileSize = $this->getRequest()->getFileSize($fileName);
$this->logMessage(" file size = " . $fileSize);

And I get nothing in the fileSize variable...though I get fileName
correctly...

So, a simple task is eating up all the time... :(

Any ideas?
