thumbnail upload challenges

Hi All

I found a great program SWFUpload to uplaod mutliple images at one time. The code is very easy to set up. At this point everything works fine. I’m trying to add to the code so that a thumb nail is created from the images. My problem is I don’t know what variable the image file is stored in. I have been scratching my head on this for a while. The thumbnail function creats a black box. any ideas what is worng

upload images code

[code]
<?php
/*
This is an upload script for SWFUpload that attempts to properly handle uploaded files
in a secure way.

Notes:

SWFUpload doesn’t send a MIME-TYPE. In my opinion this is ok since MIME-TYPE is no better than
file extension and is probably worse because it can vary from OS to OS and browser to browser (for the same file).
The best thing to do is content sniff the file but this can be resource intensive, is difficult, and can still be fooled or inaccurate.
Accepting uploads can never be 100% secure.

You can’t guarantee that SWFUpload is really the source of the upload. A malicious user
will probably be uploading from a tool that sends invalid or false metadata about the file.
The script should properly handle this.

The script should not over-write existing files.

The script should strip away invalid characters from the file name or reject the file.

The script should not allow files to be saved that could then be executed on the webserver (such as .php files).
To keep things simple we will use an extension whitelist for allowed file extensions. Which files should be allowed
depends on your server configuration. The extension white-list is _not_ tied your SWFUpload file_types setting

For better security uploaded files should be stored outside the webserver’s document root. Downloaded files
should be accessed via a download script that proxies from the file system to the webserver. This prevents
users from executing malicious uploaded files. It also gives the developer control over the outgoing mime-type,
access restrictions, etc. This, however, is outside the scope of this script.

SWFUpload sends each file as a separate POST rather than several files in a single post. This is a better
method in my opinions since it better handles file size limits, e.g., if post_max_size is 100 MB and I post two 60 MB files then
the post would fail (2x60MB = 120MB). In SWFupload each 60 MB is posted as separate post and we stay within the limits. This
also simplifies the upload script since we only have to handle a single file.

The script should properly handle situations where the post was too large or the posted file is larger than
our defined max. These values are not tied to your SWFUpload file_size_limit setting.

which describes how a PHP script can be embedded within a GIF image file.

Therefore, no sample code will be provided here. Research the issue, decide how much security is
needed, and implement a solution that meets the needs.

// Process the file
/*
At this point we are ready to process the valid file. This sample code shows how to save the file. Other tasks
could be done such as creating an entry in a database or generating a thumbnail.

Depending on your server OS and needs you may need to set the Security Permissions on the file after it has
been saved.

@SyCoMar 31.2009 — On upload the image will be kept in the temporary folder and accessed through the $_FILES array.

[code=php]$_FILES[$upload_name]["tmp_name"]
[/code]


print_r($_FILES) to see exactly what you have in the array.

@kprocauthorMar 31.2009 — thank you for the reply. I gave that a try along with $_FILES["Filedata"]["tmp_name"] which what I was told on the forum that supports the application that I'm using. Still getting a black thumbnail. I'm not an expert on this stuff, is it possible there is an error in the script thats creating the thumbnail.


thank you

Success!
