Php upload image to directory

Question

Ive been experimenting with the upload capability of php, I have been looking at this tutorial on w3school.

Answer 1

This happens because the following expression evaluates to false:

(($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts)

Which means that either

• The file type is incorrect (it is not a GIF/JPEG/PNG/PNJPEG file)
• The file is bigger than 20000 bytes
• The file extension is incorrect (it is not any of "jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png")

My guess would be the file size - increase it drastically. Change it to the following to allow sizes up to 10 MB:

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 10485760)

The best way to see the problem is to add this line to the beginning of your script:

var_dump($_FILES);
