BIG problem with POST upload form

[teknesia]

Hi everyone!

I have legacy code that I'm trying to fix on a server running PHP 4.3.1. Below I have pasted some of the code I borrowed from another post in my attemt to solve this problem.

On my personal webserver, all runs a-ok... $_FILES['fupload'] contains the file information and where it is stored in tmp after upload. (PHP4.3.1/file_uploads=On)

However, on my server at work (same config as above), $FILES['fupload'] doesn't exist... $POST['MAX_FILE_SIZE'] comes through fine after submittal, but it seems like even with PHP.ini's file_uploads=On, this just isn't working.

Does anyone know of any other settings I need on my webserver or PHP.ini to allow file uploads????

This is totally baffling me here...

Thanks in advance everyone!

<?php
$file_dir="/web/myserver.com/images/";
$file_url="http://www.myserver.com/images/";

            //Print out $_FILES
while ( list ($key, $val) = @each($_FILES['fupload']) ){
	echo "_FILES $key : $val <br>";
}
if(isset($_FILES['fupload'])) 
{ 
	$upl_clientname = $_FILES['fupload']['name'];
	$upl_servtmpname = $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];
	$upl_size = $_FILES['fupload']['size'];
	$upl_type = $_FILES['fupload']['type'];
	print "path : $upl_clientname<br>\n"; 
	print "name : $upl_servtmpname<br>\n"; 
	print "size : $upl_size bytes<br>\n"; 
	print "type : $upl_type<br>\n\n"; 

	if($upl_servtmpname)
	{ 
		copy($upl_servtmpname,$file_dir) or die ("Could not copy"); 
		print "<img src=\"$file_url/$fupload_name\"><p>\n\n"; 
	} 
} 

?>
<form name="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="102400">
<input type="file" name="fupload">
<input type="submit" value="upload">
</form>

hmmm

copy() sometimes has problems with safe_mode being on, you can check for that, or you can try

www.php.net/move_uploaded_file

An excellent way to debug is the following, as it will show all:

<?php
    print_r($_FILES);
?>

Also, there are other directives to keep in mind all of which are listed here:

http://www.php.net/features.file-upload

Also be sure to look at the ['error'] code that lives in $_FILES, you can read about what they mean in the above manual page.

I have tried every way imaginable to see if I could get an error value/message... I can't use $FILES['fupload']['error'] since $FILES['fupload'] doesn't even exist after submitting. The $_FILES array is empty, basically.

I can't use move_uploaded_file since the file is never uploaded to the server.

And every possible related php.ini setting has been checked... I think?

I'm sooo out of ideas.
