Weird IE Only Error File Upload

Anon

I am having a weird IE only error with FILE upload. PHP is not getting the file in the first place, it seems. Anyone else experience this? Is there a work around?

HELP!

It's always a good idea to post a bit of souce code when you post... This could be due to a number of errors, usualy just a typo. Lets put a small list up:

The capitalization of the form item name arn't the same.
The file information is actualy separated into several variables, maybe you're not checking the right ones.

Example:
"UPLOAD" - Form items name
$UPLOAD - Temporary storage files name
$UPLOAD_FILE - Original File name

You arn't copying the file from the temporary file to a permenent location.
It's just another nasty bug that either Microsoft or the PHP guys havn't gotten rid of in the versions you are using. Solution - Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade... 🙂

There are several other little errors that could happen but these are the most common. I could better understand your problem if you told me more of the situation, like source code and php.ini settings regarding fileupload's.

Thanks, the code works great under netscape. I resolved the issue by doing three things

1) "Upgrading" to 4.0.3b to get the is_uploaded_file, and move_uploaded file functions.
2) Copy & Pasted the FORM tag from the php manual. Now this shouldn't have fixed it, as again it worked great in netscape.
3) Changed my HTML from INPUT TYPE=FILE to INPUT TYPE="file"

now I have been doing PHP file uploads for a relatively long time, and this has to be one of the weirder problems. Same code on another machine works fine. I am thinking it was a combination of stuff on the server that caused the problem, and recompiling apache/php, and making the HTML changes, somehow fixed it.

Thanks for replying,
