#27844 [NEW]: $_POST and $_FILES empty when upload_max_size exceeded

From: marco at opus dot ch Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.6RC1 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: $_POST and $_FILES empty when upload_max_size exceeded Description: ------------ I've got a form which uploads a file along with other information (including and ID that identifies location in the site). When I upload a file that exceeds the size limits, I get no $_FILES and no $_POST information. That means if the user chooses a large file, they are redirected to a 'not allowed to do that here' page instead of a form error, because the ID is missing and their request can't be validated. This bug has been documented in the user comments in the documentation, but is still in the latest release: http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php Reproduce code: --------------- <html> <body> <form action="test.html" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="SID" value="XXX" <input type="file" name="test"> <input type="submit"> </form> </html> <?php print_r( $_REQUEST ); ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27844&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27844&r=float
