    copied!<p>I a bit of newbie to PHP and coding pretty much. I created the site www.newbornsounds.co.uk with pure HTML and css but am now integrating membership features with PHP. I am having trouble with my upload script, it won't allow audio uploads. I have checked that the php.ini allows upload sizes large enough and have gone through everything i can think of. When an audio file is selceted only the name is echoed and not the size or file type. By the way I am using wamp as the dev server if that has any significance.</p> <p>Here is the PHP script with form inside the php file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // Connects to your Database include("phpscripts/database.php"); //checks cookies to make sure they are logged in { $username = $_COOKIE['username']; $pass = $_COOKIE['password']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); } while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { } if ($pass != $info['password']) { } else { header("Location: login.html"); } //********************************************************************************************** echo "Please wait while we attempt to upload your file...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"; //********************************************************************************************** $target_path = "../uploads/"; $flag = 0; // Safety net, if this gets to 1 at any point in the process, we don't upload. $filename = $_FILES['file']['name']; $filesize = $_FILES['file']['size']; $mimetype = $_FILES['file']['type']; $filename = htmlentities($filename); $filesize = htmlentities($filesize); $mimetype = htmlentities($mimetype); $target_path = $target_path . basename( $filename ); if($filename != ""){ echo "Beginning upload process for file named: ".$filename."&lt;br&gt;"; echo "Filesize: ".$filesize."&lt;br&gt;"; echo "Type: ".$mimetype."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"; } //First generate a MD5 hash of what the new file name will be //Force a MP3 extention on the file we are uploading $hashedfilename = md5($filename); $hashedfilename = $hashedfilename.".mp3"; //Check for empty file if($filename == ""){ $error = "No File Exists!"; $flag = $flag + 1; } //Now we check that the file doesn't already exist. $existname = "../uploads/".$hashedfilename; if(file_exists($existname)){ if($flag == 0){ $error = "Your file already exists on the server! Please choose another file to upload or rename the file on your computer and try uploading it again!"; } $flag = $flag + 1; } //Whitelisted files - Only allow files with MP3 extention onto server... $whitelist = array(".mp3"); foreach ($whitelist as $ending) { if(substr($filename, -(strlen($ending))) != $ending) { $error = "The file type or extention you are trying to upload is not allowed! You can only upload MP3 files to the server!"; $flag++; } } //Now we check the filesize. If it is too big or too small then we reject it //MP3 files should be at least 1MB and no more than 6.5 MB if($filesize &gt; 8920600){ //File is too large if($flag == 0){ $error = "The file you are trying to upload is too large! Your file can be up to 8.5 MB in size only.

Are you sure that the file is an MP3?"; } $flag = $flag + 1; } //Check that the file really is an MP3 file by reading the first few characters of the file $f = @fopen($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'],'r'); $s = @fread($f,3); @fclose($f); if($s != "ID3"){ if($flag == 0){ $error = "The file you are attempting to upload does not appear to be a valid MP3 file."; } $flag++; } //All checks are done, actually move the file... if($flag == 0){ if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { //Change the filename to MD5 hash and FORCE a MP3 extention. if(@file_exists("uploads/".$filename)){ //Rename the file to an MD5 version rename("uploads/".$filename, "uploads/".$hashedfilename); echo "The file ". basename( $filename ).
