Issue
I'm using MAMP for Windows. I need just a basic script to upload a video file so that I can put it in a known directory for a native windows application. I started with code I grabbed from this question for a template to go off of, but my preliminary tests have revealed that it's not as easy to just upload a file with MAMP on Windows.
I've modified it a little bit and it looks like this:
video-form.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="video-up.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
video-up.php
<?php
$allowedExts = array("mov");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if ( $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/quicktime" && in_array($extension, $allowedExts) )
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
<br><br>$_FILES
<pre>
<?php
var_dump($_FILES);
?>
</pre>
<br><br>$_POST
<pre>
<?php
var_dump($_FILES);
?>
</pre>
<br><br>$_GET
<pre>
<?php
var_dump($_GET);
?>
</pre>
I put $_FILES $_POST & $_GET there just to see what I was gettin, but the output of video-up.php after being given a video file is a bunch of blank arrays.
Invalid file
$_FILES
array(0) {
}
$_POST
array(0) {
}
$_GET
array(0) {
}
The file uploads section of the php.ini looks like this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = C:\MAMP\temp
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 200M
; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 20
Any help as to why php doesn't seem to recognize the upload is welcome. Thanks.
Solution
I tried it with a different .mov file and the upload now recognizes the file. I'm not sure what the difference between those two files are that would cause one to not be recognized/uploaded at all while the other works, but when I find out I will update this answer.
UPDATE:
Turns out there are two settings in php.ini that need to be tweaked that affect the allowed file size. One being the specific one of upload_max_filesize and the other being general to the size of the entire post request itself: post_max_size.
The post_max_size setting doesn't show an error on the page with error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);, but will put it in the php error log. It will actually be a warning and look something like this:
PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 8708224 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0
I believe the default size is 8M for that setting.
