Question

I am encountering a strange problem with my script which I am testing to upload PDF files. I can sucessfully upload some pdf files while not the other files, even though they are all pdfs and have .pdf as extension. Can anyone throw some light on this after going thtough my code

HTML PART:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">                            
    <input type="file"  name="upload" /><br />        
    <input type="submit" name="submit">  

PHP PART:

  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
                $output_form = 0;                

                if (($_FILES["upload"]["type"] == "application/pdf")
                    && ($_FILES["upload"]["size"] < 80000)){
                        if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["upload"]["name"]))
                          {
                            echo $_FILES["upload"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
                          }
                          else
                          {
                            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"],
                            "upload/" . $_FILES["upload"]["name"]);
                            echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["upload"]["name"];
                          }                          
                    }else{
                        echo 'Invalid File';
                    }                      
            }

For some files I am getting the output, stored in output. For the others I am getting the message ‘Invalid File’.

Thanks

Answer 1

your code above seems to have a condition that if the filesize is greater than 80000 then it should throw the ‘Invalid file’ error? What size are the ones that fail? I’d be willing to bet if you comment out that condition it’ll work
