Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16747&edit=1 ID: 16747 Comment by: ava3ar at gmail dot com Reported by: hannes dot dorn at ibit dot at Summary: Empty file upload field results in "No file uploaded in Unknown on line 0" warn Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Output Control Operating System: Windows 2000 SP2, Apache 1.3.22 PHP Version: 4.2.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: In 5.4 this bug seems to be back Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-19 05:40:39] ga972 at yahoo dot com I am using PHP 5.3.3 and we are still seeing this error. If it was submitted in the snapshot in 2002 did someone put this bug back or was it just never committed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-13 16:54:12] vitek at 4rome dot ru I am using php5.0.2 on a Linux platform and I am having this bug, too. It is annoying (a notice appears, I also cannot send any headers) and I really don't want to develope with error_reporting level different from E_ALL as well as using output bufferring just to avoid a problem with headers. Please indicate if it is a strange behaviour to php5.0.2 or this issue hasn't been treated yet in this lovely version of php. I hope most of developers would agree that it IS more a bug rather than a feature (even if it is represented as a feature). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-16 19:03:19] m at balieu dot net I fully support the dropping of the "Notice".

You can grab a snapshot of the CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-06 04:06:28] irik at irik dot org If the development of PHP were a democracy (and it's not far off, I reckon :), I would vote (and maybe even campaign) to have this notice removed. Whether or not the user chooses to upload a file or is required to is a matter of application design and the sole responsibilty of the developer to address. What if a file upload is designed to optional? Why do I need to change the error reporting level on the server in order to suppress on Notice that is if fact completely useless to both the developer and the user. What benefit is it to the developer or the administrator to have notice in the logs that the user did not upload a file in a provided file box? I vote to drop the "Notice" and let it go.
