#18959 [NEW]: Non-existant file uploads return success error message

From: mikeharris@rogers.com Operating system: Windows 98 SE PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: HTTP related Bug description: Non-existant file uploads return success error message PHP v4.2.2 w/ Apache 1.3.22 on Windows 98 SE. Re: Handling File Uploads You can enter a path/filename that doesn't exist (or even gibberish) into a HTML <INPUT TYPE="file"> control and PHP will assign the corresponding $_FILES['foo']['error'] variable a value of 0, even though 0 indicates a successful upload. Since the file didn't exist on the client machine, it couldn't possibly be uploaded to the server, but PHP creates a 0 byte temp file anyways. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to assign the non-existant file upload an error code of 4, since nothing was actually uploaded? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18959&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18959&r=globals
