Hi Steve and all,

I am turning around my file upload field, I could not get any result. My app is under xampp/windows system (PHP: 5.3.1; MySQL: 5.1.41).

Code: Select all

[pressbook]
widget:type= file
Type = container


The field pressbook in the database (varchar 255) remains desperatly empty like the homonymous folder in the tables/proposition_artistique parent folder.
So I tested with an other program to see if the folder was OK, it was.

I checked up the phpInfo (file_uploads On).

So far, I have no error message. I am puzzled.

Thank you for any help

Do you have a "pressbook" folder to receive the uploads?

Yes I do with the right permissions.

Does the error log say anything? Is the file large? (i.e. check the max post size and max upload size settings of apache and php).

No the log does not say anything. I tried many files and they are in the size range of the phpinfo settings.

I though about a path problem in Windows. Could it be ?

In the index.php, I have :

Code: Select all

require_once "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\xataface-1.3rc6/dataface-public-api.php";

Could it be a problem with the mix between slashes and anti-slashes in the default path ?

Jean

I suppose that windows path problems is a possibility (I don't have a windows machine readily available for testing) but I would have thought I'd see other complaints from windows users if this was the case.

It is very fishy that there is no error. Generally if I have a configuration problem with respect to file uploads (e.g. folder not writable or folder doesn't exist) the application dies in spectacular fashion. A silent fail makes it sound more like it is completely unaware that you tried to upload a file. Is this version 1.3rc6?

Perhaps you could do some digging/debugging to try to hunt down the problem. The code that handles file uploads is in the Dataface/FormTool/file.php file in the pushValue() method.

Thank you Steve,

I did not get anything with file.php and realized that the file fields are not in the $_POST variables sent to the index.php, as if they did not exist -- although they had been informed. This is strange. Even the empty fields have an empty variable...

File uploads are generally provided in the $_FILES superglobal.

yes I need some rest...
Thank you Steve

Well in fact, all slashes are gone in the tmp_name index of $_FILES :

Code: Select all

[tmp_name] => C:xampptmpphpDB1.tmp

How can I prevent this ?

Jean

Ah.. this was happening in another thread also. I believe that it is having problems with magic quotes gpc - and stripping slashes twice. Can you check to see if you have magic_quotes_gpc turned on?

Thank you Steve, I set magic quotes gpc off and now it works smoothly.
