haha, wow, that has taken me about 3 hours to fix, and all for the sake of a $ in the wrong place!!! the following line:
CODE
$file_name = trim($this->$file_name);
should have been
CODE
$file_name = trim($this->file_name);
for anyone interested /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
** solved **
hello all, i have a php class that uploads files, which i found as a tutorial on the net. this is the first time i have used it, and so far, just 2 small errors seem to happen.. it isn't accepting the extensions it should, and it is always saying that the filesize is too big.. the extensions is the main validation i want to check, and the function thaty does this in the class is as follows:
CODE
function validate_extension() { //set vars $file_name = trim($this->$file_name); $extension = strtolower(strchr($file_name, ".")); $ext_array = $this->ext_array; $ext_count = count($ext_array);
Thanks for posting the solution and leaving the original probelm here Patrick! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

hello all,
i have a php class that uploads files, which i found as a tutorial on the net. this is the first time i have used it, and so far, just 2 small errors seem to happen.. it isn't accepting the extensions it should, and it is always saying that the filesize is too big.. the extensions is the main validation i want to check, and the function thaty does this in the class is as follows:
//set vars
$file_name = trim($this->$file_name);
$extension = strtolower(strchr($file_name, "."));
$ext_array = $this->ext_array;
$ext_count = count($ext_array);
//start validation process
if(!$file_name) {
return false;
}
else {
if(!$ext_array) {
return true;
}
else {
//put extensions into an array
foreach($ext_array as $value) {
$first_char = substr($value, 0, 1);
if($first_char <> ".") {
$extensions[] = "." . strtolower($value);
}
else {
$extensions[] = strtolower($value);
}
}
//find out if the extension is valid
foreach($extensions as $value) {
if($value == $extension) {
$valid_extension = "TRUE";
}
}
//is the $valid_extension variable present?
if($valid_extension) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}
}
so, if it returns false, the extension is not valid and it should flag an error... to call it, I have:
$upload_class->temp_file_name = trim($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']);
$upload_class->file_name = trim($_SESSION['uid'] . strtolower($_FILES['upload']['name']));
$upload_class->upload_dir = "images/";
$upload_class->upload_log_dir = "images/upload_logs/";
$upload_class->max_file_size = 524288;
$upload_class->banned_array = array("");
$upload_class->ext_array = array(".jpg", ".gif", ".jpeg");
//run through class functions and upload image.
$valid_ext = $upload_class->validate_extension();
$valid_size = $upload_class->validate_size();
//$validate_user = $upload_class->validate_user();
$max_size = $upload_class->get_max_size();
$file_size = $upload_class->get_file_size();
$upload_directory= $upload_class->get_upload_directory();
$upload_log_directory = $upload_class->get_upload_log_directory();
$upload_file = $upload_class->upload_file_with_validation();
so it should accept all 3 extensions... can anyone see what i am doing wrong here?
thanks
Patrick
