i have PHP on my RH9 system...
when i run an upload script... and press button upload, it automatically diverts the page to google.co with search string of google.. why does this happen and how can this be stopped??

please help

It sounds like your script probbaly has google set as the action in the form.

or it does some url forwarding and has a non existant url in there and your browser jumps to google as it's search page...

thanks for replying but i do not think that is the problem.. i m posting my form tag and i assure u i am not using header anywhere

<form action='upl.php' method=post enctype='multipart/form-data'>

some other suggestions?? maybe to do with global variables??

This is my upload script... the post and get variables are passing fine but then when i try to upload using this script.. it goes to google... with a search string of localhost..
Max Upload is set to 80MB in php.ini and i am trying to upload just 1 MB file.. also uploads have bee set on..
please suggest

$action = $HTTP_POST_VARS["action"];
$max_size = "50000000"; // Max size in BYTES (1MB)
$updir = "/var/www/html";

echo "
$updir<br>$action<br>
<b>Uploader</b><br>
<form action='upl.php' method=post enctype='multipart/form-data'>
File (max size: $max_size bytes/".($max_size/1024)." kb):<br>
<!-- This is NOT a secure method of checking filesize, but it tells the user if he tried to upload a file too big before
he waits for the huge file to upload, make sure to check the filesize after the form is sent as well -->
<!-- <input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='$max_size'> (removed because it wasn't working properly) -->
<input type='file' name='filename'><br>
<input type='hidden' name='action' value='upload'>
<input type='submit' value='Upload File'>
</form>";


if ($action == 'upload')
{
print "teri jai ho";
exit;

if ($_FILES["filename"]["size"] > $max_size) die ("<b>File too big! Try again...</b>");


copy($_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"],$updir.$_FILES["filename"]["name"]) or die("<b>Unknown error!</b>");
//copy($_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"],"./".$_FILES["filename"]["name"]) or die("<b>Unknown error!</b>");
echo "<b>File Uploaded.</b>"; // for debug --> $filename --> ".$destination."/".$filename_name."</h2>";
}

Have you tried it in other browsers?

Have you tried to upload a small file? Check your php.ini file, see if you are allowed to upload files, and what the max size is. Take a look at /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf too.

i tried konqueror on you advice .. as you can noice from my script it has a max size of 50000000 bytes.. that makes it about 40000 KB.. now when i tried to upload a 40 KB file, it tried to do so but actually could not do it giving this error


Unable to create '/var/www/htmlinstall.log': Permission denied in /var/www/html/upl.php on line 46

line 46 is the line where copy is taking place .. i will look into it and post the results...

when i tried to upload a 1.1 MB file, it gave me this error...

An error occured while loading http://localhost/upl.php:


Connection to host localhost is broken

why did this happen?? as max_file_size in upload file is much more than 10MB and upload limit and max post size in php.ini is around 80 MB why did this happen??

This problem has to be solved because i have been requested by at least 10 people to forward the solution to them.. so this problem has quite a wide base.

OK People.. This is the recent bit of research i have done and this is to be taken care of..
In php.conf, which is a httpd file, we have to take care of this value

LimitRequestBody

Set this to a higher value.. this governs the upload limit of your script as well... but my script is still giving me troubles... so lets see further.. till then

There is also a max upload size in php.ini

i have written in a previous post that max upload size is set to 80MB. Also max post size is set to 80MB.. i think we should concentrate on the issue of why permission is being denied inspite of full permission to executing script and the file that is to be uploaded?

And there is another in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf
