DFP 2.0 Not uploading pdf

I've not used DFP before but now have reason to use it to upload some pdf files. Unfortunately, I'm obviously missing something vital, as nothing is getting uploaded.

I've included 3 attachments showing what info I've used in the interface etc. I've also chmod the PDF folder on my server to 755 and even tried it at 777, but to no avail.

It is presently on the web at url [form.php]url

Hope someone can assist and TIA

Remove the entries in file and default file, these will be replaced from the file that you upload. All should then work.

Hi Jaffa,

Sorry, I should have explained that I have tried it with the fields empty and this also did not work! I've tried all sorts of combinations and none of them work, unfortunately.

Thanks anyway for your trouble.

Hi David,

Did you check to see if your form is MultiPart/formdata?? This is usually a common overlook.

Hi Dave,

I've copied the form in this post and yes it is the multi-part/form_data. I'm not sure what this does??

Are there any files in the PDF/ upload directory?

Can those be accessed through the browser?



I tried uploading an image named 1.jpg using your form, then browsing to :
1.jpg

this gave an error:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.



In DFP, you should leave the file setting at the default:
[FileName]

to let dfp manage the name of the file that is uploaded.


Also, add the following at line 1 to make sure a PHP error is not occuring that is preventing the file upload:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

Hi Jason,

I removed all the files early on to see if I could upload without overwriting originally. I have now ftp'd a file to the server and this can be accessed under the navigation 'Entry Forms' - 'Collectors Corner'. I have just tried this and it downloads successfully.

I have now re-inserted the [FileName] and I have added the error reporting to the top of the page - I presume you mean before the 'require_once'?

I've also made a copy of the last few server errors to see if this might assist you.

I have just tried it again with all this in place and it concluded with a blank page and nothing!!

Thank you.

from the error log:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/vhosts/stringer-family.co.uk/httpdocs/form.php on line 2, referer: form.php


please send a copy of the PHP page compressed into a zip file so I can look at line 2 to see why the error is occurring.
