[RELEASE] Image upload

I don't recall seeing this done exactly this way before. If it has been, I apologize to the author.

Anyway, what this will allow a user to do is upload a file to your webserver that they can insert into their post. It's modelled after the old UBB image upload hack.

Please keep in mind that this was a quick and dirty hack job, and I wasn't making it with the intentions of releasing it.

You can specify the maximum file size that you'd like to use - that's about it as far as security goes.

Here's the file:

Hope someone will find this useful .

Fred does your server run php on safe mode?

I found out the problem, I edited the file on my HD (global.php3), but I forgot to upload it. A simple mistake that caused the problem.

Anyways, so that part worked. And I made a dir in my forum dir called 'pictures'. I chomd it to 777 like I was told to.

But when I browse for an image, and then try to Upload it, it brings me to this:

// This is the script that takes the form values and uploads the image to the server. Illegal file type. Only files with .jpg and .gif extensions can be uploaded.
Please click here to go back and try again.

Any idea whats that from?

Did you rename upload_file.php to upload_file.php3?

Yes, and it's uploaded too

Wonder why it dont work.. i edited upload_file.php3 inside.. was i supposed to?

If so, what was I supposed to edit exactly..?

Even though the images are gif or jpg, I am getting this error and am not able to upload images. I am running vB 1.1.4 and PHP4
Thanks

Thats my problem too. JimF, please help me with this. The hack looks fantasic so far, I've got it on my pages and everything. The popup comes up, I can browse for an image (jpg or gif) and when I upload, that gay illegal gay comes up.

What EXACTLY do I edit in upload_file.php3 when I'm manually editing it in my Frontpage?

So can you help me?

hey hows it going
just a small question

when adding the max file size in:
$filesize = "300"
do you make it 300kb or leave it as 300

when i try both it comes up with this error:
// This is the script that takes the form values and uploads the image to the server. Your file is too large. Please click here to go back and try again.

let me know if i am doing anythgin wrong
thanks
