OK, for my web server, I'm setting up a file uploader and file manager. I made a form which uploads files to their folder space, but for some strange reason, doesn't upload songs. Anybody know why? Here's the code:

<?PHP

if ($_POST["submit"]) {
if ($_POST["MAX_FILE_SIZE"] >= $_FILES['uploadFile']['size']) {
copy ($_FILES['uploadFile']['tmp_name'], "../users/".$_REQUEST['username']."/".$_FILES['uploadFile']['name']);
} else {
echo ("File is too large: ".$_FILES['uploadFile']['size']);
}
}

?>

<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/main.css">

<BODY>
<form action="" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
<tr bgColor="#777CAB">
<td><font color="#EEEEEE">File: </font></td>
<td>
<input type="file" size="60" name="uploadFile">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="20000000">
</td>
<td align="right">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value=" Submit" style="width: 66px; height: 18px; font-family: Tahoma; text-align: left;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</BODY>

</HTML>

By music files, do you mean MP3s? And are you hosting this yourself, or using someone else? Perhaps the server itself won't allow MP3s to be uploaded (created)?

Are these copyrighted files??

This is my server (Apache2). Whenever people try to upload, they have to wait a long time and then they get an error message (fatal error: something about 30 seconds). And yes, these are mp3. EDIT: I just realized that it is not just mp3's that do not upload, but any file over a certain file size (around 2mb).

you have to set the limit higher than 2 MB in your php.ini file.
