Progress Bar & UE attachment problems

9/19/2010 9:44 pm | #1 jarrad407561

Hi,
I can't seem to get my progress bar to work, i have had it working on pages in the past, and looking through the code i cannot see where i have gone wrong..

The page i'm having troubles with is:
submissions.php

<head>
<script src="webassist/progress_bar/jquery-blockui-formprocessing.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="submissions_ProgressWrapper">
      <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="submissions" id="submissions">............................
</form>
    </div>
<div id="submissions_ProgressMessageWrapper" class="blockUIOverlay" style="display:none;">
<script type="text/javascript">
WADFP_SetProgressToForm('submissions', 'submissions_ProgressMessageWrapper', WADFP_Theme_Options['ExtendingWheel:Slate']);
</script>
<div id="submissions_ProgressMessage">

	<p style="margin:10px; padding:5px;" ><img src="webassist/progress_bar/images/slate-wheel.gif" alt="" title="" style="vertical-align:middle;" />&nbsp;&nbsp;Please wait</p>

</div>
</div>
</body>

I'm also having trouble with large file attachments to emails.. A 5mb attachment works, but a 10mb attachment wont work, it uploads the whole file and when done it just reloads the page instead of going to the $GoToPage, and doesn't send the email..
I need to either allow large attachments (at least 25mb or so) or include some validation so that only small attachments can be attached (which i'm not sure how to do).

Please help.

ps. i'm using Universal Email v4.00

I've managed to fix my problem of only being able to send 8mb attachments, i've changed my php.ini file to allow "post_max_size = 128M", but i've tested it with a 20MB attachment, the email was sent but i received this error instead of the $GoToPage:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30395605 bytes) in /home/fingerma/public_html/submissions.php on line 97

It doesn't add up, the memory limit is 128MB, and it's exhausted the limit at 28MB??
What have i done wrong now??

btw. still no luck with the progress bar.. :( any ideas?

Thanks,

Jarrad

for the progress bar change:

<script type="text/javascript">
WADFP_SetProgressToForm('submissions', 'submissions_ProgressMessageWrapper', WADFP_Theme_Options['ExtendingWheel:Slate']);
</script>

to:

<script type="text/javascript">
WADFP_SetProgressToForm('submissions_ProgressWrapper', 'submissions_ProgressMessageWrapper', WADFP_Theme_Options['ExtendingWheel:Slate']);
</script>

If you are saving multiple copies of the file, or have the upload set to resize an image, it can easily use up the 128mb memory limit, the gd processor that is used to re-size images is very memory intensive.

try upping the memory limit to 256mb

Thanks for your reply Jason,

The progress bar is now working, thanks :)

As for the memory limit problem, I'm not doing any resizing or image processing, all it's basically doing is uploading a file (any file) and attaching it to an email with other form data.

For a test i tried attaching a 20 MB zip file (as i need it to be able to handle at least 20-30 MB attachments). this is where i got the memory error.. (although the email and attachment was sent, instead of the $gotopage i got the memory error.

Here is the UE code:

<?php require_once("webassist/email/mail_php.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("webassist/email/mailformatting_php.php"); ?>
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION))session_start();
if ((isset($_POST["submit_submit"])))     {
  //WA Universal Email object="mail"

  $GoToPage = "submission_received.html";
  $RecipArray = array();

  $RecipIndex = 0;
  // build up recipients array
  $CurIndex = sizeof($RecipArray);
  $RecipArray[$CurIndex] = array();
  $RecipArray[$CurIndex ][] = "submissions@fingermagazine.com.au";
  $TotalEmails += sizeof($RecipArray[$CurIndex]);

  $TimeRemaining = ($TotalBursts * $BurstTime) + ($AfterBursts*$RealWait);

  }
  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Total"] = $TotalEmails;
  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = 0;
  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = $TimeRemaining;
  while ($RecipIndex < sizeof($RecipArray))  {
    $EnteredValue = is_string($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]);
    $CurIndex = 0;
    while (($EnteredValue && $CurIndex < sizeof($RecipArray[$RecipIndex])) || (!$EnteredValue && $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0])) {
      $starttime = microtime_float();
      if ($EnteredValue)  {
        $RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][$CurIndex];
      }  else  {
        $RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0][$RecipArray[$RecipIndex][2]];
      }
      $EmailsRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount);
      $BurstsRemaining = ceil(($EmailsRemaining-$AfterBursts)/$BurstSize);

      if ($TimeRemaining < ($EmailsRemaining*$RealWait) )  {
        $TimeRemaining = $EmailsRemaining*$RealWait;
      }
      $CurIndex ++;
      $LoopCount ++;
      session_commit();
      session_start();
      $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = $LoopCount;
      $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = round($TimeRemaining);
      session_commit();
      wa_sleep($WaitTime);
      include("webassist/email/waue_submissions_1.php");
      $endtime = microtime_float();
      $TimeTracker[] =$endtime - $starttime;
      $RealWait = array_sum($TimeTracker)/sizeof($TimeTracker);
      if ($LoopCount % $BurstSize == 0)  {

        if ($TimePassed < ($BurstTime*60))  {
          $WaitBurst = ($BurstTime*60) -$TimePassed;
          wa_sleep($WaitBurst);
        }
        else  {
          $TimeRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount)*$RealWait;
        }
        $StartBurst = time();
      }
      if (!$EnteredValue)  {
        $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0] =  mysql_fetch_assoc($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][1]);

    }
    $RecipIndex ++;

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Total"] = 0;
  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = 0;
  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = 0;
  session_commit();
  session_start();
  if ($GoToPage!="")     {
    header("Location: ".$GoToPage);

}
?>

And you can look at my phpinfo() here:

I'm not sure i'm allowed to increase the memory limit as it is shared hosting..
I reduced the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize to 64M instead, and tried a 25mb attachment and it has worked without errors. :)

Thanks for your help

It seems that 25mb file before was a fluke, it's still logging errors, I've had a few memory_limit errors, and since then i've upped it to 256M memory_limit, and i am still getting errors including memory_limit and internal server error..

I've abandoned the whole email attachment idea (why does it require so much memory?).. Instead i'm saving the attachments on the web server and sending a link to the file in the email..
