Can upload files, but not a xls file.

[Anthony Smith]

What am I doing wrong? I will show my form and the action page. A csv
file works fine.

<form action="/CompRun/index.php?cmd=uploadEligibilityValidation"
method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type = "file" name="eligVal">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
if (isset($_FILES['eligRev'])){
$file = $_FILES['eligRev']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($file , 'r') or die("can't open file");
insertEligibilityRevenueFile($file, $_SESSION["year"], $_SESSION
["qtr"]);
fclose($fp) or die("can't open file");
$msg = "Data successfully uploaded.";
$smarty->assign('msg', $msg);
$smarty->display('uploadEligRev.tpl');
}

else{
$smarty->assign('next', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?
cmd=uploadEligibilityRevenue");
$smarty->display('uploadEligRev.tpl');
}

When I upload a xls, it always just goes to the else, when I upload
anything else, I get the result I expected.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Hi,

your form input name is different, i.e. in the form is name="eligVal"
and you're checking for "eligRev".

Next, don't do that: "isset($_FILES['eligRev']", it's better to do
like this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['eligVal']['tmp_name']))...

and then check for correct Mime type.

good luck!

Actually, he is also correct. You should check to see if the value is
set before you see if it is an uploaded file.
