#24404 [NEW]: File Upload Failure

From: catalin at ips-software dot de Operating system: Linux (mandrake 9.0) PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: File Upload Failure Description: ------------ Trying to upload files which exceed the post_max_size param from php.ini fails without any errors transmitted to the PHP script that handles the upload. This is the logged error. [error] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 11184886 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0 I did specify MAX_FILE_SIZE in the HTML form, before the <Input type=file ... block. The engine discards the download and gives no error. The $_FILES and any other server vars are completely empty; no error about the broken upload. php.ini: memory_limit = 48M post_max_size = 8M file_uploads = On upload_max_filesize = 8M allow_url_fopen = On Reproduce code: --------------- <FORM name='up' enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST' action='<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>'> <INPUT type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='5242880' /> <INPUT type='file' name='up_file' size='50' /> <INPUT type='submit' name='submit' /> </FORM> <?php if(!empty($submit)) { print_r($_FILES); phpinfo(); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Since I tryied to upload a file which exceeds both the MAX_FILE_SIZE and the post_max_size I would have expected to find some sort of error in the $_FILES['up_file']['error'] or anywhere else in the PHP variables, but I found no such error(s). Actual result: -------------- No result whatsoever except the log: [error] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 11184886 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24404&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24404&r=gnused
