I have run a simple file upload and it doesn’t work for me. Can someone tell me what the problem is? I have two simple files (one file will do the work too),

********
  • * file.php
    ********
    <html>
    <body>

    • <form enctype=”multipart/form-data” action=”uploader.php” method=”POST”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”MAX_FILE_SIZE” value=”100000″ />
    Choose a file to upload: <input name=”uploadedfile” type=”file” /><br />
    <input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Upload File” />
    </form>

    </body>
    </html>

    **************
  • * uploader.php
    **************
    <?PHP
    if(isset($_POST[‘submit’]))
    {
    echo “tmp name is ” . $_    FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘tmp_name’] . “<br>”;
    echo “name is ” . $_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘name’] . “<br>”;
    echo “size is ” . $_    FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘size’] . “<br>”;
    echo “type is ” . $_FILES[‘uploadedfile’][‘type’] . “<br>”;
    }
    ?>

    • The output of uploader.php displays

    tmp name is
    name is DSC00678.JPG
    size is 0
    type is

    if I tried to upload a jpg file, and sometime displays correct info for pdf and doc file, but some time does not.

    tmp_name, size and type used to work for me all the time, suddenly it’s not working. I only have one linux machine which runs PHP. I’m running php 5.2.4 on linux/apache.

    Thanks.

    @MrCoderOct 17.2007 — Heya, echo out the error number.

    [code=php]
    echo $_FILES['uploadedfile']['error'];
    [/code]

    Or..
    [code=php]
    echo "<pre>".var_export($_FILES, true)."</pre>";
    [/code]

    Then compare the error number to this list.

    @jfernandezauthorOct 18.2007 — Found the problem, I changed the MAX_FILE_SIZE to 4000000 makes it work. I verified with echo $_FILES['uploadedfile']['error'] and it returns 2. Thanks MrCoder.
