File Attachment Code - Please help!

[bmccarthy]

I can't figure out what the heck is wrong with this code. When I attempt to use it, it get an error message from my browser that the file is under maintenance or configured incorrectly.

I am attempting to have a user complete a form field on my website, upload a document, and send the email to me with the file attached.

 

<?php

$subject = 'I am from '.$_POST['MID'].' ';  
$emailadd = 'me@domain.com'; 
$req = '1'; 

$text = "I declare that I have read and understand the Guidelines and that I comply within these guidelines.  
:\n\n"; 
$space = ' ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 20)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 20 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = ' ';
}

$file_name = $_FILES['userfile'];
$new_file_name = $file_name . trim($_POST['MID']);
$path= "Confirmation/" . $new_file_name;
if($userfile) {
   if(copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path)) {
     echo "Successful<BR/>";
     echo "File Name :" . $new_file_name."<BR/>";
     echo "File Size :" . $_FILES['userfile']['size']."<BR/>";
     echo "File Type :" . $_FILES['userfile']['type']."<BR/>";
   } else {
     echo "Error, file did not upload correctly!";
   }

mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$_POST['Name'].' <'.$_POST['Email'].'>');

header("Location: compliance/confirmation.html");

?>

 

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Try using move_uploaded_file() instead of copy()

[xyph]

Where is $userfile being defined? You're checking for it before you perform the move.

 

You should program with all errors showing. Check my sig. You'd be seeing an undefined variable notice.

@batwimp

I replaced copy() with move_uploaded_file(), but still receive the configuration error message.

 

@xyph

$userfile is the key/name within the my html form on the webpage.

The html code for the form is:

<form action="sendresults.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="PCI" target="_parent" id="PCI">

Also, where in my .php do I put the error checker? I tried placing it after the mail command, but...?

[xyph]

No it isn't.

 

Again, code with errors being displayed. You'll see it's undefined in your upper script.

 

Read this

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

 

In the future, you should consider what people who want to help you are trying to say, rather than dismissing it as incorrect advice.

[batwimp]

xyph, could it be a register_globals thing?

[xyph]

It could, but he's using the proper $_POST/$_FILES superglobal elsewhere. A 'better' assumption would be that he's using an undefined variable.

 

Or he could be using a version of PHP older than 4.2.

@xyph

I apologize if I came across as dismissive. That was not my intention. I am a rookie at php so I don't necessarily know what I'm talking about.

 

Where in the code do I place the error checker? I tried placing it just below the mail command, but that didn't work. Where is the proper placement of it?

[xyph]

Google will help you with little things like that.

 

The code in my sig should be placed at the top of your script. I'll modify my signature to include that.
