Dear fellow users,
can anyone help me with this block of code. the code is design( in principle) to filter out files as it is being uploaded. for example if I get the wrong type of file or the size of the file is too large etc. I should get an error
message on my screen, but that is not happening. the script just rans through the motion and stop (i guess) at the end.
<?php
$maxsize = 28480;//set max upload size
if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']){
//print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
$error=" ";
//this will cause the rest of the processing to be skipped
//and the upload form to displays
}
if (!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']) AND !isset($error)){
$error = "<b> You must upload a file</b><br /><br />";
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']);
}
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['size'] > $maxsize AND !isset($error)){
$error = "<b>Error, file must be less than $maxsize bytes.</b><br /><br />";
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']);
}
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['type'] != "image/gif" AND $HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']
['type'] != "image/pjeg" AND $HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['type'] != "image/jpeg" AND
!isset($error)){
$error = "<b> You may only upload .gif or .jpeg files.</b><br /><br />";
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']);
}
if (!isset($error)){
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], "uploads/".$HTTP_POST_FILES
['upload_file']['name']);
unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']);
print "Thank you for your upload.";
exit;
}
else{
echo ("$error"
;
}
?>
<html>
<head></head>

//<form action="<?php echo(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))?>" method="POST" enctype=

Replace $HTTP_POST_VARS with $_POST and $HTTP_POST_FILES with $_FILES. It will do the work.

Your syntax is for older hp version and you should use $_POST for $HTTP_POST_VARS and $_FILES for $HTTP_POST_FILES, for example.

Also remove the // slash comments, //<form action="<?php echo(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))?>" method="POST" enctype=
//"multipart/form-data">
They aren't correct in HTML syntax.
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="28480" /> should be included to avoid users waiting to upload a file with large size and then realize that it's waste of time.
//"multipart/form-data">
