php error messages

[Anon]

Hi all,

Does php have a standard error if a file is uploaded that's too big i.e. the file is bigger than php.ini's upload_max_filesize setting.

I seem to get this message when the file's too big.

Warning: Unable to open 'none' for reading: No such file or directory in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 43

but this is message also appears if I try to upload a blank form.

I've read in places that php doesn't output any error message when the file's too big but just doesn't upload it (could have been down to error supression for them though).

Well, if there is no uploaded file, the variable usually containing the filename contains 'none'. So if PHP removes a file because it's too big, the variable will contain 'none'. Just check the contents of it, i.e. if ($filename != 'none') { .. do stuff } .. ?

I'm not too concerned about coding an error trap it's just that I wanted to confirm that this message was PHP's response to the file being too big.

Most of the time (not all) I get this error if the file exceeds the limits I've set in testing, but most of the time isn't really acceptable to me as an explanation 🙂

I haven't really got a problem, I just want to understand the error 🙂

Thanks anyway.
