Re: File upload problem

If you don't want users to write empty files to your server, why don't you just stop them ? You can write something like this: if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['size']!=0){ move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'], $upload_dir.$HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['name']); } else { echo "WARNING: File is zero size !!!<br>"; } Mi5ha -- Please enter your access password: penis ERROR: Sorry your password is not long enough...
