3 This is an upload script for SWFUpload that attempts to properly handle uploaded files
8 SWFUpload doesn't send a MIME-TYPE. In my opinion this is ok since MIME-TYPE is no better than
9 file extension and is probably worse because it can vary from OS to OS and browser to browser (for the same file).
10 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.
11 Accepting uploads can never be 100% secure.
13 You can't guarantee that SWFUpload is really the source of the upload. A malicious user
14 will probably be uploading from a tool that sends invalid or false metadata about the file.
15 The script should properly handle this.
17 The script should not over-write existing files.
19 The script should strip away invalid characters from the file name or reject the file.
21 The script should not allow files to be saved that could then be executed on the webserver (such as .php files).
22 To keep things simple we will use an extension whitelist for allowed file extensions. Which files should be allowed
23 depends on your server configuration. The extension white-list is _not_ tied your SWFUpload file_types setting
25 For better security uploaded files should be stored outside the webserver's document root. Downloaded files
26 should be accessed via a download script that proxies from the file system to the webserver. This prevents
27 users from executing malicious uploaded files. It also gives the developer control over the outgoing mime-type,
28 access restrictions, etc. This, however, is outside the scope of this script.
30 SWFUpload sends each file as a separate POST rather than several files in a single post. This is a better
31 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
32 the post would fail (2x60MB = 120MB). In SWFupload each 60 MB is posted as separate post and we stay within the limits. This
33 also simplifies the upload script since we only have to handle a single file.
35 The script should properly handle situations where the post was too large or the posted file is larger than
36 our defined max. These values are not tied to your SWFUpload file_size_limit setting.

141 Validating the file contents is OS and web server configuration dependant. Also, it may not be reliable.

148 needed, and implement a solution that meets the needs.
154 At this point we are ready to process the valid file. This sample code shows how to save the file. Other tasks
155 could be done such as creating an entry in a database or generating a thumbnail.
