File Upload
- 1. CSC 2720 Building Web Applications PHP File Upload
- 2. Handling File Uploads in PHP PHP must run with the right settings. You may need to change the PHP configuration file php.ini . A temporary storage directory must exists with the correct permissions. Uploaded files are stored here temporarily; the files may be removed from here when your PHP script finishes processing the HTTP request. The final storage directory must exists with the correct permissions. You have to write codes to move the uploaded files from the temporary directory to another directory.
- 3. Configuring php.ini file_uploads Enable/disable PHP support for file uploads max_input_time Indicates how long, in seconds, a PHP script is allowed to receive input post_max_size Size, in bytes, of the total allowed POST data upload_tmp_dir Indicates where uploaded files should be temporarily stored upload_max_filesize Size, in bytes, of the largest possible file upload allowed
- 4. HTTP File Upload ( RFC 1867 ) Set attribute METHOD="POST" Set attribute ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" Use INPUT element with TYPE="file" to create a file upload control (one control per file) Hidden input field MAX_FILE_SIZE recommends to the web client the limit of the size of the uploaded file. <form action="file_upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" > <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> <input type="file" name="upload" /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" /> </form>
