Validate Max File Size for DFP Upload

Validate Max File Size for DFP Upload

With a nod to this thread in the DFP forum I have a situation where I need to limit the image upload size to for the sake of argument 500kb and the most obvious way to do this is to validate it server side BUT if you have the validation routines BEFORE the upload routines the WA_UploadResult1 array has not yet been created so $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["fileSize"] is undefined and no validation takes place, having the validation routine after the upload routine means that the file has already been uploaded which defeats the object of validating it in the first place.

In DFP1 you could set maximum file sizes that made this much easier.

Is their an answer to this issue ?

I use VTK2

If you create a form with a file field. use the server validation. use to check the FILE-SIZE you can find it under the file-field.

check it against NUMBER, use intrenational and zero decimals. for 500KB you need to set max to 500000.

here is the my VTK2 line

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateNM(((isset($_FILES["imageName"]))?$_FILES["imageName"]["size"]:"") . "",0,1500000,0," ,",true,5);



I hope that helps.

I already wished to have that limit of file-size and image size back in the DFP2 like it was in DFP1, in this case its a step back.

im trying to do that but with the picture width and height, but if i follow those steps when i try to submit the form im getting:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function WADFP_getImageWidth() in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxxxx\admxxxxx\cat_Insert.php on line 18

and on line 18 i have

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateNM(WADFP_getImageWidth((isset($_FILES["foto"]))?$_FILES["foto"]:"") . "",1,500,0," ,",true,5);

do i need to do something else in order to avoid ppl uploading pictures over a size that i want?

Or is there any recepie on how to validate file size, width, height etc... cant find any specially about height and width

sounds like the require once line for the WA_DigitalFile Pro/Helper_PHP.php file is on the page after the validation toolkit code, move that file to around line 1 so the function will be declared before it is used.

ok i missed some things i did that to several of my insert page but checked one that was not the one that had to check for width and height the one that has to check the width and height of a picture keeps giving me the exact error moving the required <?php require_once("../WA_DigitalFilePro/HelperPHP.php"); ?> to line 2 just after the conection requirement.

Also on the insert page where i want to do a check file extension if i add this it just doesnt insert anything just reloads the page if i take out the check extension the validations work but this one has nothing about the width or height wich is 2 difrent page issues.

i added both files so techs here can have a better look seems like a bug unless im doing something wrong

the file extesnion validation is failing.


the preg_replace function is triming the period from the file externsion. change the code:

php:
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateFE(((isset($_FILES["foto"]))? preg_replace('/^.*\./', '', $_FILES["foto"]["name"]) :"") . "",".gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png",true,4);




to:

php:
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateFE(((isset($_FILES["foto"]))? preg_replace('/^.*\./', '', $_FILES["foto"]["name"]) :"") . "","gif, jpg, jpeg, png",true,4);
