Problems with uploading file: Filesize is zero

[luftikus143]

Hi there,

I am pretty sure that it worked before. But now, neither on my local machine, nor on the server, it does what it is supposed to do: uploading a simple text file.

Code is as follows:

		<form action="upload_CDIAC.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
			<label for="file">Filename:</label>
			<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> &nbsp;&nbsp;
			<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
		</form>

and

	if ($_FILES["userfile"]["error"] > 0)
	{
		echo "Error: " . $_FILES["userfile"]["error"] . "<br />";
	}
	else
	{
		echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["userfile"]["name"] . "<br />";
		echo "Type: " . $_FILES["userfile"]["type"] . "<br />";
		echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["userfile"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
		echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"];
	}

So, really nothing fancy, and took it from some PHP tutorial pages.

Can anyone tell me why "Size: 0 Kb"?

Thanks for any hints.

The name you're using in the form is: file and the name you're using in the receiving script is: userfile.

Sorry, my fault. One shouldn't copy stuff from multiple files. Yes indeed, that was wrong. But my files have it correct. So, it's (now, from the other two files, which I used to use):

		<h1>Upload new news files</h1>
		<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload_from_gridca2.php" method="post">
			<!-- <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"> -->
			Upload this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
			<input type="submit" value="Send File">
		</form>

and

            if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
            {
                $nameNew = date("ymdHis");
				move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/xxx/logs/".$nameNew.".log");
				echo "<br />Uploaded!!<br />";
			}
			
			if ($userfile_size==0)
			{
			 echo "Problem: uploaded file is zero length";
			 exit;
			}

And it gives me that error message "uploaded file is zero length"...

I knew it would be a pretty dumb answer to that dumb question. But just couldn't find the solution... until.... One needs to set in php.ini the upload_max_file size to a higher value....

Hi
The reason is very simple. The free space left on your temporary folder (/tmp) is zero. Check it now!

have a nice day
