Hi there.
I've spent the weekend getting ever more frustrated, trying to get an
upload file function working on a website.
The site is hosted by a company called oneandone. They're using PHP 4.2.
3, not in safe mode. I think that the basic problem is the set-up for
the temp folder, but I don't have access to the .ini settings.
I'm pretty sure it's possible, because I've got MyPHPAdmin running, and
it's happily accepting uploaded files (although I can't make head nor
tail of their code).
I've read through the manuals online (most of which assume 'it just
sorta works' or that you have access to the .ini files), and I've tried
setting the values for upload_tmp_dir using ini_set() but I just can't
get it to work.
Here's the code I'm stuck with at the moment...
file 1: upload.php
****
<?php
$root = $HTTP_SERVER_VA RS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
ini_set('upload _tmp_
dir', $root.'tmp');
?> <html>
<head>
<title>Administ ration - file
upload</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Upload new files</h1>
<form
enctype="multip art/form-data" action="upload2 .php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="1000000" >
Upload
this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit"
value="Send File">
</form>
</body>
</html>
***
file 2: upload2.php
***
<?php
$root = $HTTP_SERVER_VA RS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
ini_set('upload _tmp_
dir', $root.'tmp');
?> <html>
<head>
<title>Uploadin g...</title>
</
head>
<body>
<h1>Uploading file...</h1>
<?php
echo 'Document
root is '.$root."<br />\n";
echo 'Upload directory: '.ini_get('uplo ad_
tmp_dir')."<br />\n";
echo 'Upload directory: '.get_cfg_var(' upload_tmp_dir' )."\n";
?>
</body>
</html>
***
(I realise that this doesn't actually do any uploading, but I've rolled
it back as far as I can, as a follower of a walk then run school of
philosophy, just to get it to tell me where it might deign to upload
stuff, were it to work ;-) )
When I execute these two pages, the second page just coughs up a blank
Upload directory, as if it hasn't been set. Can somebody please point
me in the right direction?!?!? My desk is starting to get a forehead
shapped dent in it... I just want to upload some plain text files and a
few 4k jpgs for goodness sake!
Aaarrrgh.
Thanks.

I've been looking at stuff all weekend on googlegroups and I've come
to the conclusion that on shared servers you can't alter
upload_tmp_dir using ini_set().

That's the same conclusion you'd reach by reading ini_set on the manual
:) http://www.php.net/ini_set
The info for "upload_tmp_dir " on the "Changeable " column has
"PHP_INI_SYSTEM " wich is specified as "Entry can be set in php.ini or
httpd.conf"

Did you try putting something like this in an .htaccess file?
php_value upload_tmp_dir /whatever/dir/you/want

I personally think the issue is elsewhere...

I'd say it's uploading fine (assuming your account isn't more restricted
than wherever phpMA runs).
I've read through the manuals online (most of which assume 'it just sorta
works' or that you have access to the .ini files), and I've tried setting
the values for upload_tmp_dir using ini_set() but I just can't get it to
work.
I have to ask.. why?
Why are you trying to change the temp upload dir? What's wrong with the
current one?
Here's the code I'm stuck with at the moment...
[ snip code with no code to process uploaded file ]
(I realise that this doesn't actually do any uploading, but I've rolled it
back as far as I can, as a follower of a walk then run school of
philosophy, just to get it to tell me where it might deign to upload
stuff, were it to work ;-) )

Did you move the uploaded file to your specified dir before the end of the
script finished executing? You've shown no code that would deal with this.
When a file is uploaded, it's stored in the $TEMP dir as something like:
php87Dkdfs9
You then use something like 'move_upload_fi le()' to put this into
$YOUR_CHOSEN_PA TH as $YOUR_DEFINED_F ILENAME.
If you already have this code present but didn't post it here, if you
could post the section maybe it can be analysed better (I'm not saying
this _is_ the problem, but without seeing anymore of your code, it's my
first suspect).
Regards,
Ian

Newbie ASP.NET question:
Now that I've created an ASP.NET site, how to I get it to my hosting
provider?
I've developed sites with Dreamweaver MX in the past - with Dreamweaver,
it's very easy. The ability to link to the remote site (via FTP) is built
into the IDE and all you have to do is click upload. Does Visual Studio
have a similar feature? How do most people deploy their sites to a remote
server from Visual Studio?

My apologies if this question has been asked before ..
I would like to split large files into smaller chunks for uploading to
php for re-assembly on the server.
Is there a (relatively) simple way of doing this in javascript? If so,
could someone point me to relevant documentation to read or (if really
simple!) give me some coding hints? Thanks.

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t.
In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
