Steve's Locomotion Cache (Objects)

Post by Steve »

Introducing the top of the line Locomotion Object Storage System!

The Locomotion Cache is a place where users can upload their own files and then after a quick check, have them ready for download by the entire Locomotion Community! No more rummaging through forums with lots of random downloading, everything is easily searched and found!
It also makes use of a phpBB forum system for comments and ranking, making sure that you have lots of info before that vital download. Just make sure to rank it yourself afterwards!

To ensure that all files are properly uploaded, properly credited and with proper english descriptions and stats, every file is looked over by a responsible Admin before being allowed into public. This process will last a maximum of 48 hours, and most probaly a lot less, so noone is missing out.

The site stores Locomotion Scenarios too! The site is still quite new, so if you find any bugs, please contact me on any of the forums or via the in-built Contact page!

What are you waiting for:
http://cache.locomotiondepot.net/
Download your objects, today!


Note: Within the next week i shall contact all object authors on these here forums, about getting them to upload their work. To help ease the pain of this task, please submit your own work. Oh, and the site will get a much needed facelift in due time.

That doesn't work, it doesn't matter wich program is supposed to open it on your computer, it doesn't affect how the server identifies the file format.

The Zip thing
Here is the code i use to check the file is valid:

Code: Select all

if ($_FILES['ObjFile']['type'] == 'application/x-zip-compressed') 
I found that code from testing an upload, i'm not sure what it says that you are uploading. It would help if you sent me the file so i can check what it says, thanks.


Blank thing:
I'll add it to my list.

Many browsers don't set that correctly, often it's just application/octet-stream, which is the generic "binary data" type. You'd probably be better off checking the file extension.

Someone hasn't been paying attention to me in the IRC Channel ;)

I now check the file extension yes. In my original code i presumed it was the server that checked the type, not what the browser said the type was.
