PHP: File Upload Error Msg

Team Member Joined: 06 Jan 2002 Posts: 2564

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to get anywhere with this.

Try asking in the 34SP Forums, or ask imknight in the chat room (irc.hashnet.org, #34SP).

Not sure how to use IRC, can you let imknight know about this post?

Perhaps, it will be good to try this script and see whether you can get it working at your end. I'm using it at 34SP, so the environment is the same.

Apparently the unlink() command is not needed, as move_uploaded_file gets rid of the original file when it moves it. So just delete both of the unlink() lines and it should work.

Hey, your finger crossed works! Smile

- removed the 2 unlink()commands
But now I got 2 files in my upload directory:
XXX.gif and the redundant XXX.gif.new
How come I get this additional redundant similar file?

I think there is a hiccup....
Now I am not able to upload any more files to the upload folder, though I received no error msg. Strange....

It works now...not sure why there is such a long delay before I can see the files uploaded into the upload folder on my ftp client.

This can happen if 34SP caches data for faster accessing, and rebuilds the cache after about 5 min, then you may get about 5 minute delay.

There can be no other reason for the delay (from those I know)
btw, still getting the redundant file?

Maybe you're not refreshing the file list? Question

As far as I know, 34SP don't use any cache.

jayant, Yes, about 5-10 min delay when I tested the script the other day.

Daniel. I did refresh the remote list on my ftp client then. Couldn't have got the script to work without your prompt follow through replies. Excellent step-by-step troubleshootings! *3 Cheers*

But you're still getting two files? If so, is one of them empty?

I just tested uploading a file. Seems the 5 to 10 min delay has gone away, and I do not have any more duplicate file with the .new extension. Not sure why I saw it the other day and I have to manually delete it via ftp; strange. The script works fine now. I couldn't have done it all without you Smile

Maybe you submitted the form twice? The script will name the second file with a .new suffix if the file already exists.

Your "new" logic makes sense, I might have submitted the same file twice the other day. Otherwise, I would have still face this problem when I tested just now.

Tested and your "new" logic is verified correct.

How do I set local time for this formmail script? I see that the server time is reflected in the email when users use the form.

I can't find any reference to time in the actual script, so it sounds to me like the only "time" which you could be seeing would be the one you see next to the subject in your mail client...
