File Upload Fail - Works on Win not on Linux

ejennings_98

I have a simple file upload routine, and if I try to upload a file that is over 500k the upload fails. I get a bad post error or something like that. If the file size is under the 500k size, everything works just fine.
I set upload and max file size php.ini settings to 8M, and the html file size limit is set to 10000000 = 10M. So I don't know what could be the problem.

The code works on my Windows box, but I move it to my Linux box (Mandrake 9.1 - latest PHP) and it doesn't work.

Thanks, Eric

I think the problem is that you have no code

I will get the code, it is a simple html form with a post for a file upload.

However, if you do not have a constructive comment, why do you bother responding. You obviously do not have an answer, so why do you have to be rude.

because you're wasting our time by not showing your code.... we can't help you if we dont know EXACTLY the code you're running.

Yeah, these "or something" errors are really hard to troubleshoot. I'm thinking your problem is like bad coding or something.

I had a hard-to-diagnose problem with uploaded images. Try doing this:

$x=ini_set('memory_limit','24M');

before copying the uploaded file.

Thanks nemonoman for the input, I will give it a try. I will work on it over the weekend and give you some feedback.

Found the problem.

My distribution is Mandrake 9.1. There was no php.ini config file and the PHP module was compiled with a non standard directory location for the php.ini config file. By using phpinfo(); I was able to determine the location of the config directory, and then set the max upload size to a larger number.
