I'm developing a small image hosting project (not commercial just a project to test my php abilities)
and i want to check that the user has entered a file
the code: -
<?php
-
$lengthCheck = $_POST['file'];
-
if(strlen($lengthCheck) < 1){
-
setcookie("shortLength", "No File Innput", time()+3600);
-
header('Location: http://mahcuz.com/upload.php');
-
}
-
?>
-
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
-
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
-
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
-
<head>
-
i want to check that the user has input a file and if not redirect back to the previous page. There's a cookie so i can display an error on the previous page.
Even if there is a file entered the page is still redirected..
Any ideas?
Much thanks.

Hi Markus.
Try using the isset() function.
Also, files are not passed as text variables, via the $_POST array. They are sent as a part of the $_FILES array.
So try something like this: -
# Check if the file element is set
-
if(isset($_FILES['myFile'])) {
-
# Check if the upload was successful.
-
if($_FILES['myFile']['error'] == 0) {
-
# File was uploaded successfully
-
}
-
else {
-
# File was sent but failed to be uploaded!
-
}
-
}
-
else {
-
# File was not sent!
-
}

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here:
The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store

Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the
session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name
and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...
