Hello,

For my first php project I am wanting to be able to upload files to MySQL. I have created the database and tables but every time I try and upload a file I recieve this error.

Code:

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/start/minion/upload.php on line 4

Here is the file:

Code:

 <?php

mysql_connect("localhost","DATABASEUSER","PASS");

mysql_select_db("USERDATA");

$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), filesize($form_data)));

$result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO uploads (description, data,filename,filesize,filetype) ". "VALUES ('$form_description','$data','$form_data_name','$form_data_size','$form_data_type')");

$id= mysql_insert_id();

print "<p>File ID: <b>$id</b><br>";

print "<p>File Name: <b>$form_data_name</b><br>";

print "<p>File Size: <b>$form_data_size</b><br>";

print "<p>File Type: <b>$form_data_type</b><p>";

print "To upload another file <a href=http://here/minion/test2.php> Click Here</a>";

?>

This is the form:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">



<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

</head>

<body>

<form method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Description:<br>

<input type="text" name="form_description" size="40">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">

<br>File to upload:<br>

<input type="file" name="form_data" size="40">

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

Obviously the file I am trying to upload is valid as I browse to it and select it. I just am kinda stumped now.
Will gladly offer more info.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try not using register_globals and explicitly defining your form variables. Your $form_data variable would then become $_FILES['form_data']['tmp_name'].

Worked like a charm.

Code:

<?php

$uploadFile = $_FILES['form_data']['tmp_name'];

$uploadDesc = $_FILES['form_description']['form_description'];

$uploadName = $_FILES['file_data']['name'];

$uploadSize = $_FILES['file_data']['size'];

$uploadType = $_FILES['form_data']['type'];

mysql_connect("localhost","USER","PASS");

mysql_select_db("USERDATA");

$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($uploadFile, "r"), filesize($uploadFile)));

$result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO uploads (description, data,filename,filesize,filetype) ". "VALUES ('$uploadDesc','$uploadFile','$uploadName','$uploadSize','$uploadType')");

$id= mysql_insert_id();

print "<p>File ID: <b>$id</b><br>";

print "<p>File Name: <b>$uploadName</b><br>";

print "<p>File Size: <b>$uploadSize</b><br>";

print "<p>File Type: <b>$uploadType</b><p>";

print "To upload another file <a href=http://here/minion/test2.php> Click Here</a>";

?>

Many thanks.
