Hi All,

I am trying out the file uploading bit and encountered some problems when uploading a file>2MB, it gives me an error like the one below:
Warning: Packets out of order. Expected 1 received 0. Packet size=33 in C:\Program Files (x86)\db_inc.php on line 150

So i played around and realized if i upload a file size smaller than 2MB, i do not encounter the error above and no code changes were being made. So i checked if it could be the max file upload size here to configure my systems. I am using WAMP by the way. So i changed the values to 16MB and 300 seconds.

Any idea what could be causing this? I am a bit stumped.

And are you trying to "upload" from the same machine?

Yes, i am just trying it out on localhost and it is weird i am encountering this error.

I just tested again and it seems if i upload text based files it is okay, but if i upload say jpg or pdf, there seems to be a problem. Below is my code:

PHP Code:

if(isset($_FILES['uploaded_file'])) {
    // Make sure the file was sent without errors
    if($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0) {
        $conn=connectDB();
        
         // Gather all required data
        $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
        $mime = mysql_real_escape_string($_FILES['uploaded_file']['type']);
        $tmpName=($_FILES  ['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']);
        $data = file_get_contents($_FILES  ['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']);
        $size = intval($_FILES['uploaded_file']['size']);
      
         $query = "insert into $tablename (Name,Type,Size,Content)".
        "Values ('$name ','$mime ',$size ,'$data ')";
        $result = mysql_query($query);
        
         // Check if it was successfull
        if($result) {
            echo 'Success! Your file was successfully added!';
        }
        else {
            echo "FAILED";
        }
        
        closeDB($conn);
        
    }
    
} 


Possibly something to do with your router not handling "loopback" connections to well, most "home routers" don't.

How do i check if my home router is able to do that? I am using DLink DIR655. I googled online and some say that this router has loopback but i am not sure how to configure. Any clue?

Use another machine on your network and connect using the internal IP (192.168.x.x) see if that works ok, the the problem is with your router or the N.I.C. in the machine acting as server.

I guess i will have to try that. Thanks
