HEADER

I have the following:

Code: Select all

<?php
if(isset($_POST['upload']) && $_FILES['result']['size'] > 0)
{
$fileName1 = $_FILES['result']['name'];
$tmpName1 = $_FILES['result']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize1 = $_FILES['result']['size'];
$fileType1 = $_FILES['result']['type'];
}

$fp = fopen($tmpName1, 'r');
$content = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName1));
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{ $fileName1 = addslashes($fileName1);
}     
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$userid = $user->get('id');

$database =& JFactory::getDBO();

$testquery = "INSERT INTO jos_uploads (userid, name, type, size, content) " .
"VALUES ('$userid', '$fileName1', '$fileType1', '$fileSize1', '$content')";

$database->setQuery($testquery);

if (!$database->query()) {
echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>
";
}
?>

The problem is the uploaded file 's size is 0 kb. I am using windows xp. What's wrong? I had it worked on another machine.

Hi nmay,

Sorry, I've no real idea - this isn't ChronoForms code as far as I can see. Where are you putting it? Is the file uploading OK from the form?

Bob

Hi nmay,

you had it working with the same DB structure ? the field type to store the file is of which type ?

Max

The above code was stored in auto generated code box, I had it working one time on a different machine. I am storing JPGs PDFs Zips users uploaded into MYSQL. But when I use MYSQLADMIN to download the file, it is 0 kb. I checked the upload folder, looks like files are there. I also changed var $mosConfig_fileperms = '0644';

And my debugging statement is telling me that $tmpName1 is C:\tempuploads\phpA.tmp (I am using windows) But nothing present in that folder, even I have full permission to that folder, tested , writable. $fp and $content are null, I guess that's why content (blob) is empty.

Could you please help me with it?

Hi Namy,

ChronoForms moves the file from that temp folder into components/com_chronocontact/uploads. Do you see anything there?

Bob

Hi nmay,

from your words I understand that there is a problem uploading files to the server then, I think you should start by removing this code and trying Chronoforms upload tool, do your files get uploaded ? if not then there is something must be fixed on your machine, whats it exactly... I'm not sure, try contacting your host support, or if you have a local machine then you will need to configure something!

Cheers

Max

P.S: do you have FTP settings configured in your joomla admin ? may be this affecting it someway ? try to use the FTP functions ?

Thank you very much sir, I figured out what the problem is:

Code: Select all

$fp = fopen($tmpName1, 'r');

The above code is reading file at apache's upload file directory specified in php.ini (C:\temp, but actual files are stored in
C:\apache\htdocs\components\com_chronocontact\upload

That is why $fp is null. What I am trying to accomplish is to store files users uploaded in mysql, so I need use $fp to read the file. In my mind, there are two options:

1. Modify your code so that uploads are uploaded to c:\temp

2. Move pointer $fp to C:\apache\htdocs\components\com_chronocontact\upload

I am a super php noob. Can you give me little instructions or tell me few lines of codes I need to look at?

Hi nmay,

Put the file path into the fopen function:

Code: Select all

fopen('path'.$file_name, 'r')

See the PHP manual for more info.
