    I have a php uploader script that has some file restrictions on it. It only allows certain kinds of pictures to be added. It also has a restriction that rejects any file over 500mb. I want to be able to upload any kind of file type but at the same time I want to keep the file size limit. Can someone please help me because I don't know php I just got this code off the w3schools page and really don't know how to edit it. If someone could edit the code for me I would really appreciate it.

    Code:
    <?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
  echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
  echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
  echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
  }
?>

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/mp4")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 65540000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/mp4")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 65540000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

    Nope

    Nope didn't work all I got was this.

    Code:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/bosweb/web112/b1127/glo.clm51193/upload_file.php on line 16
    If you want to test out the uploader I left the bad php script in it so you could see it. clm51193.com/uploader.html

    What angelwatt gave you is correct. That error generally means you forgot to close a bracket or parentheses. Double check your code, because we cannot see the php from the URL you provided.

    You've typed something wrong.

    You've got a bunch of asterisk in places like below that don't belong. Not sure how they got there, but should be deleted.
    PHP:
    if*($_FILES["file"]["size"]*<*65540000) 
    **{*

    Thats totally weird I have no idea how they got into my post being as they aren't in the code which I copy&pasted into the post. Another computer mystery I guess. Besides those which don't exist in my code anyway does anyone else see what could be wrong? Here is the code the way it really looks on my computer sorry for all the confusion.

    PHP:
    <?php
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
      {
      echo     "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
      }
    else
      {
      echo     "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
      echo     "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
      echo     "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
      echo     "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
      }
    ?>

    <?php
    if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 65540000) 
      { 
      if (    $_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
        {
        echo     "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
        }
      else
        {
        echo     "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo     "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo     "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo     "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
        }
      }
    else
      {
      echo     "Invalid file";
      }
    ?>

    <?php
    if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 65540000) 
      {  
      if (    $_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
        {
        echo     "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
        }
      else
        {
        echo     "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
        echo     "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
        echo     "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
        echo     "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

        if (    file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
          {
          echo     $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
          }
        else
          {
              move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
              "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
          echo     "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

    Are you still getting error messages? Also, what program are you using to edit the file?

    It sounds like TextEdit may have left some invisible characters behind. In BBEdit you can turn on invisible characters so you can tell if there are any weird characters. Alternatively I would create a new file and type what you see in the file to make sure no odd characters get introduced.

    If you're using TextEdit, make sure to go to Format->Make Plain Text.

    I'd recomment downloading TextWrangler (free) to edit PHP files.

    try copying the code you posted here and pasting it into your php file. It ran without any errors for me.

    I think your right, I just turned on the show invisible characters setting and it turns out that every space is actually an invisible circle that text edit put in. Thanks for the idea, I should have all of them gone soon and I'll say if that worked.

    Ahh the drama continues only files that I had originally allowed are working, once I tried a .mp4 video I got this

    Error: 1
    Error: 1

    Heres my code
    PHP:
    <?php

    I really appreciate the time you guys are giving this. Hopefully you can fix the script so only files that are more then 500mb get denied.

    From http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
    I haven't really dealt with file uploading. Have you tried small files or large ones? Also, have you tried various types of files e.g., images, text, etc.?
