Hi,

I recently purchased an application I found via HotScripts; http://tools4php.com/form-wizard/index.html this application creates a php script to process html forms.

I want to use this for users to upload mp3 files to my server, it has a feature for uploading files which seems to work fine. However, I have been reading some articles which say that there may be issues uploading large files through php alone, using up all the memory etc etc.

The files I want users to upload are between 5-10MB each and they will be uploading 1-10 with each form submission.

Do you think the upload function would be quite easy to modify to upload via FTP. Below is all of the code that I think is used to process the upload;

PHP Code:

// Receiving variables

@$base_path = addslashes($_POST['base_path']);

@$r_Name = addslashes($_POST['r_Name']);

@$Company-Name = addslashes($_POST['Company-Name']);

@$re_eMail = addslashes($_POST['re_eMail']);

@$User-File_Name = $_FILES['User-File']['name'];

@$User-File_Size = $_FILES['User-File']['size'];

@$User-File_Temp = $_FILES['User-File']['tmp_name'];

@$User-File_Mime_Type = $_FILES['User-File']['type'];



function RecursiveMkdir($path)

 {

   if (!file_exists($path)) 

   { 

      RecursiveMkdir(dirname($path));

      mkdir($path, 0777);

    }

  }





// Validation

if( $User-File_Size == 0)

{

die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3' color='#FF0000'>Please enter a valid user-file</font></p>");

}

if( $User-File_Size >10000000)

{

//delete file 

unlink($User-File_Temp);

die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3' color='#FF0000'>Please enter a valid user-file</font></p>");

}

if( $User-File_Mime_Type != "audio/mpeg" )

{

unlink($User-File_Temp);

die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3' color='#FF0000'>Please enter a valid user-file</font></p>");

}

$uploadFile = "uploads/".$User-File_Name ;

if (!is_dir(dirname($uploadFile)))

  {

    @RecursiveMkdir(dirname($uploadFile)); 

  }

else

  {

  @chmod(dirname($uploadFile), 0777);

  }

@move_uploaded_file( $User-File_Temp , $uploadFile); 

chmod($uploadFile, 0644);

$User-File_URL = "http://www.site.com/uploads/".$User-File_Name ; 

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also interested in a method to show some sort of progress bar, or psuedo 'uploading' animation so users know that somethings going on in the background.

TIA

I found some ftp uploading script here;

http://px.sklar.com/code.html/id=1054

Perhaps this could be used.

By the way... I am not a PHP programmer, I only know a few basics, not enough to do this by myself with no help!

You could also try an applet. jClientUpload allows both HTTP and FTP upload.
http://www.javazoom.net/applets/jcli...entupload.html
It could work with server-side PHP technology.

Hope it helps.

Yeah, I already have your applet. The only problem is the code signing, I can't afford to buy a certificate!

I have been looking at http://upload.thinfile.com who sell their applet with a valid certificate, and you can download upgrades for 2 years (so when the certificate is replaced you can update). However, their software doesn't have as many features as yours, in particular renaming and deleting partial uploads, also as yours takes the url from the calling page I can customise it to go to the current users folder (Thin ftp upload has it in the config file which makes it hard!).

Anyway, I'm still seeing what I can do.
