Re: File upload problem

Thanks for the idea. I didn't think that solution before, bacause in the previous PHP-version it was impossible to upload empty files. Now server makes empty file even, if there is no file to upload. I still would like to know, where is the reason for the change of function in the server. Is there somebody, who knows?

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...

I'm using: - Apache 2.0.40 server (linux) - PHP 4.2.2 I use file uploads in my code, but there occured small problems with the server update(from Apache 1.3.??, PHP 4.1.2). is_uploaded_file()- and move_uploaded_file()-functions don't work correctly any more. Or actually the file upload system doesn't work correctly. The problem is to recognice, when the user try to upload a file, which doesn't exist. It's possible to even write nonsense like "sdafasdf" into the file type input-field (Mozzilla and IE). In that case the current server writes an empty file named according to the text "sdafasdf". When there is a legal empty file "uploaded" to the server, is_uploaded_file() doesn't fail. So, there is no way to recognice, when the user try upload a "nonsense-file". Can anybody help? I don't know, if it's PHP or Apache causing the problem. Is there any settings, which could cause this?
