I believe I mentioned using end and explode on the same line here:

http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/439050/file-upload-not-working-for-audio-and-video-files#post1887945

You don't seem to have done anything about that. Did you try it?

Does $_FILES['uploadedfile']['error'] give any clue? You could do a var_dump($_FILES) to see all items:

Error codes can be seen here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php#109648

@diafol i tried it before.. but it didnot gave any error i've used var_dump($_FILES)
and now these are the errors

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\teacher\add-material-action.php on line 6
There was an error uploading the file, please try again!
Notice: Undefined variable: imgname in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\teacher\add-material-action.php on line 67
array(1) { ["uploadedfile"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> string(10) "1 copy.jpg" ["type"]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" ["tmp_name"]=> string(24) "C:\xampp\tmp\php22B0.tmp" ["error"]=> int(0) ["size"]=> int(208739) } } 

these errors are shown only for videos and images.
it is uploading other media perfectly but with this warning

I've mentioned twice now that end and explode shouldn't be combined. Have you tried separating them?

$bits = explode(".", $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"]);
$extension = end($bits);

I'm assuming that the problem files do have an extension in the first place.

@diafol sorry for bothering you

yes i've tried it aswell this is the error that only removes the strict standards error...
this is the error i encounter after seperating end and explode

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!

$imgfile is not being set at this point:

$imgname = $imgdir.$mediafile;

If you could do some proper indenting of your code, that would help - nested ifs and no indenting is almost impossible to assimilate.

hi.. Riu 2009,
pls check this code... it may help you...
its working for .doc,.txt,.jpg,.csv... etc....it saves path in database and also
saves files in the directory...
but its not sure about audio and video files...

<?php
    $name           =  $_POST['name'];
    $resumepath     =  $_FILES['resume']['name'];

    $resume=$_FILES['resume']['name'];
    $file=$_FILES['resume']['tmp_name'];
    $ext=strstr($resume,".");
    $resumepath=$name.$ext;
//echo $resumepath;
@move_uploaded_file($file,"../admin/resume/$resumepath"); //file uploading

 $sql="INSERT INTO  tbl_candidate (resume) VALUES ('$resumepath')";
          $obj->query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


        }


        header("Location: ./candidatelist.php");
        exit();
    ?>  

@amiyar thanks for ur help :) i think im so messed up with this code and i think i would have to put a lot of things in the code for my use...

@diafol i know the code is so annoying..sorry about that.any other way to solve this problem??

Not cheked too closely.

@diafol im so sorry for annoying you..i have done everything you said and this is the result

There was an error uploading the file, please try again!IMAGENAME NOT SET

OK, it's your main IF clause (obviously). Change to just:

if(in_array(strtolower($extension), $allowedExts)){
    ...
}

for now. See if it's the list of types. You're using the 'pathinfo' right?

@diafol yeah using PATHINFO

where should i place this???

Member Avatar for diafol
if(in_array(strtolower($extension), $allowedExts)){
    ...
}

instead of:

$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"]));
if (( ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "audio/mpeg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "audio/mp3")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "video/mp4")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "video/avi")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "video/quicktime")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "video/x-flv")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/msword")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/pdf")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "text/plain")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "application/pdf")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/png")
|| ($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts)){
    ...
}

yup you were right @diafol this line
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts cause all the problems...

i've removed the extensions for time being and the code is working. Thanx for helping fo so long
