Uploading files

[Sammy the Bull]

Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction for how I can upload a file to
the server, and overwrite the existing file if there is one.

Thanks.

I've found that ASPFaq.com blows the socks off of MS docs:

[url]http://www.aspfaq.com/2189[/url]

I've just tried freeaspupoad, it works for me and comes in under budget.

Cheers,
Jeff

Try C:/Temp

Try "c:\Temp\" (Slash at the end!)

I've checked permissions on the directory, and
re-entered them to be sure. At the moment, "Everyone" as "Full Control"
permissions, which should cover it

I tried turning on auditing on file events, and tried an upload. I'm seeing
a series of events with User Administrator in C:\Temp (which is what's
specified in php.ini), which is me playing with Explorer. And I see a
series of events with User System in C:\WINNT\Temp involving a file called
_246_166_2.wrk, with the same Process ID as the file accesses in the
directory the upload script is in. So it looks like, for some reason,
either Apache or PHP (whichever is handling the writing of the temp file)
is not putting the temp file in the right place (assuming that .wrk file is
the temp file). But it's looking for it in the right place when the script
later tries to move it?

And there are no failed events, only successful ones, from what looks like
changing in to the directly to writing the file, to reading the directory
information, to reading the file, to deleting the file.

Now, I'm very confused.

Why would it put the temp file in c:\winnt\temp (which is the system temp
directory) instead on the explicitly assigned temp directory in php.ini?
And why would it then not be able to find it?

Have you tried just to echo the elements of $_FILES[]? It should give you
the temp path being used.

Tried that. Same result.

Everything is pretty much copy&pasted from the manual, with paths adjusted
as necessary.

The form is:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

(the file I've been testing with is about 3.5k)

upload.php is:

$uploaddir = "c:\Temp";
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir .
$_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. Here's some more
debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
} else {
print "Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
print $_FILES['userfile']['error'];

The print_r produces:

Array
(
)

the other print produces nothing at all.

Is that what print_r($_FILES); does? All it produces is

Array
(
)

Double slash, that is. A single slash produces an error.

That is the conclusion I keep coming to. Except for the *.wrk files that
show up when I turn on file access auditing in NT.

That's what is actually in php.ini. phpinfo was reporting it
as "1". I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3.2 yesterday, BTW (which
does report it as On), with the same results.

Tried that, with the same results.

Everything else seems to be working. I can POST form data without
submitting file, and that works fine.

Last night, I tried the same form and script on a 98 machine at home, but
with the same version of Apache and PHP, and got the same results - I
think. I'm beginning to think it's something in the OpenSA version of
Apache that is handling the temp files incorrectly. I really didn't want to
have to figure out how to manually configure SSL stuff. Sigh. I think I'll
try uninstalling Apache completely, and rebuild it from scratch with an
unaltered version from apache.org.

Oh, you've helped eliminate stuff it's not, which is something. Thanks for
that, at least.

I guess I need to become an expert on Apache and PHP. Story of my life.

OK, I dumped the OpenSA install, and started over with the lastest stable
build of Apache 1.3 from apache.org, and the lastest version of PHP, and
now everything works. Something is broken in OpenSA. Sigh.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I have made a php script for uploading files to the server. It works fine
on the pre test:
if (($uploadDir == "ERROR") OR ($uploadLogDir == "ERROR"))
{

return false;
}
else
{
if (is_uploaded_file($tempFileName))
{
but this next test goes false:
if (move_uploaded_file($tempFileName,$uploadDir . $fileName))
{

Someone with a clue on this?

Check the permissions of the target dir.

Hi

I am realtively new to CF. I am trying to accomplish something that I am not
sure i can do with CF. I want to have visitors to a page on our site have the
ability to upload files to a specific folder on our website. I have no access
to CF on the server side as it is a service provided by my ISP. I have tried
CFFILE with no luck. I have successfully done it with CFFTP but i am unable to
pass the file name via a form. It seems to want to pass the entire path which
causes errors when the file is uploaded. Does any one have a very simple
solution to this. If so I wouls very much it. Please email me at
[email]webmaster@clcintersol.com[/email] or reply here. Many thanks in advance

I believe my ISP is using CF 5

[Knum]

I had the same problem along time ago and I know that doesn't help you at
all... err sorry... Try <cfoutput>#Server.ColdFusion.ProductName# and
#Server.ColdFusion.ProductVersion#</cfoutput> to find out what you ISP is
running

[gwgiswebmaster]

your ISP may have disabled that tag, ck with them to verify

[CoffeeCup]

This is the code I use: (This is taken straight form a web site, so you will

Hi can anyone help? I have a database on our website that holds all of the
products that we sell. I have created some asp pages that lets an admin user
edit all of the products on the database. However alot of the products have
..pdf datasheets that would need to be viewed when clicking on an apropriate
link. The question is how can i have it so that the admin user that is editing
the products can upload .pdf to an apropriate directory and the correct path
will be added to the web database so that the pdf can be viewed. Thanks John

[Manuel Socarras]

you can use a component like ASPUpload or take a look at Pure ASP File
Upload
