file upload fails silently

hkeach

I'm using IE5.5 as client and php4 on linux/apache as server. I've followed the examples for doing a file upload from a form and everything appears to work from the client side. In my script I see the following values:

UploadedFile=none
UploadedFile_name=test.html
UploadedFile_type=text/html
UploadedFile_size=0

I've tried different files and sizes and the time required seems to be proportional to file size, so I think there is a file being sent. The UploadedFile_name and type reflect the file being sent. In a nutshell: no errors, no file! Any ideas?

Hi,

Some ideas, not solutions:
- Variables in functions are'nt declared as "Global" ?
- ENCTYPE (in the FORM-Tag) correctly set to "multipart/form-data" ?
- MAX_UPLOAD_FILESIZE set in the php3|php.ini?
- MAGIC_QUOTES_RUNTIME=OFF (php3|php.ini)?

If this doesn't help, be so free and quote the appropriate codesnippets into your next post.

regards,
micha.

Here's the whole thing:

<HEAD><TITLE> File Upload Test</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
ACTION="<?php print($SCRIPT_NAME) ?>" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4096">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="UploadedFile" SIZE="60" >
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Action" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>

<?php
print("UploadedFile=$UploadedFile<br>\n");
print("UploadedFile_name=$UploadedFile_name<br>\n");
print("UploadedFile_size=$UploadedFile_size<br>\n");
print("UploadedFile_type=$UploadedFile_type<br>\n");
?>
</BODY>

Are you trying to put the file in a certain directory?

Since, there is no copying of the file in these snippets you might not be getting an error because the file was actually uploaded, just into the /tmp directory instead. (Just an idea)

I haven't gotten as far as copying the file anywhere because I don't have a name for the temporary file.

I am having this exact same problem if anyone can help.

Anon

oh, except I found I could get the filesize of files under 4k

I am really stuck. :/

I spoke to people at my server and the issue has been solved. Files uploaded through php belong to the web user of my server.

The web user however only had a quota of 4k. I have ammended to web quota and now everything is fine.

I suggest that this may be the problem you are encountering also.
