Uploading mp4 files using PHP

Question

I am able to upload png/jpegs/images using PHP upload script but am not able to upload mp4 files on my local server. Script is not displaying any error.

<?php
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
//include authentication here/ Gmail is good solution for now
//check if it's not allowing any other extenstion other than MP4
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png","mp4");
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
print_r($_FILES["file"]["type"]);
$extension = end($temp);
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/mp4"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
  } else {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
    if (file_exists("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
    } else {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
    }
  }
} else {
  echo "Invalid file";

    } else {
      echo "Invalid file";

video/mp4Invalid file

Solution 1

If your code does not have any errors, please make sure to increase post_max_size AND load_max_filesize AND memory_limit

• post_max_size
• upload_max_filesize
• memory_limit

See Handling file uploads: Common Pitfals which explains this in detail and how to calculate the values.

Solution 2

you have to modify the POST max size, and the file upload size in your php.ini

It should look like this if you want to disable the limit:

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; Its value may be 0 to disable the limit. It is ignored if POST data reading
; is disabled through enable_post_data_reading.
; http://php.net/post-max-size
post_max_size=0

And of course the file limit:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize=1000M
