I need to get this script to check if the uploaded file is a video file or not and whether the file size is too big or not over the limit. Therefore, need to replace the getimagesize
with something else that gets the video file size. How can I accomplish this? Which function to use here? getvideosize
function does not exist.
This is where I am stuck.
<?php
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
//Check whether the file was uploaded or not without any errors.
if(!isset($_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]) &&
$_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["Error"] == 0)
{
$Errors = Array();
$Errors[] = "Error: " . $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]
["ERROR"];
print_r($_FILES); ?><br><?php
print_r($_ERRORS);
exit();
}

//Feed Id Verification Video File Upload Directory path.
$directory_path = "uploads/videos/id_verifications/";
//Make Directory under $user in 'uploads/videos/id_verifications'
Folder.
if(!is_dir($directory_path . $user)) //IS THIS LINE CORRECT ?
{
$mode = "0777";
mkdir($directory_path . $user, "$mode", TRUE); //IS THIS LINE
CORRECT ?
}
//Grab Uploading File details.

$file_error = $_FILES['id_verification_video_file']['error'];
$file = $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["name"];
// in PHP 4, we can do:
$fhandle = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME);
$mime_type = finfo_file($fhandle,$file); // e.g. gives "video/mp4"
// in PHP 5, we can do:
$file_info = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME); // object oriented approach!
$mime_type = $file_info->buffer(file_get_contents($file)); // e.g. gives
"video/mp4"
switch($mime_type) {
case "video/mp4":
// my actions go here...
}
// Let's assume that the name attribute of the file input field I have
used is "id_verification_video_file"
$tempFile = $_FILES['id_verification_video_file']['tmp_name']; // path of
the temp file created by PHP during upload. I MOST LIKELY GOT THIS LINE
WRONG AT THE END PART. HOW TO CORRECT THIS ?
$videoinfo_array = getimagesize($tempFile); // returns a false if not a
valid image file
if ($videoinfo_array !== false) {
$mime_type = $videoinfo_array['mime'];

//Notify user their Id Verification Video File was uploaded successfully.

Best I done so far is above. I'd appreciate if you guys can add the correct lines where they should be and add comments so I can easily spot your changes and learn from the corrections.
EDIT: Folks, I managed to fix a lot of things on my current update. But, one new problem. The move_uploaded_file() is failing. Why is that ? Do have a look. I actually wrote my questions to you in my code's comments in CAPITAL. If you could kindly answer these questions then I'd be grateful and hopefully we could close this thread as SOLVED asap.

I get echoed when trying to upload an mp4 file: Error 3: There was a problem uploading your file id_check.mp4! Make sure your file is an MP4 video file. You may try again.
Should I set the folder permissions to 0644 from 0777 ? I am being told I should not allow any files to be executable in the folder by users (file uploaders) and so I should set it to readable & writeable only to "0644". I need your expert opinion on this.
