Hello group, I have a very strange issue coming up when uploading large files ( about 30MB). The problem is it works fine on my computer (and two others that I've tested), but it doesn't work on my client's laptop. It comes up with error code - 0 (which is upload successful), but the actual file is not on the server. Here is my error checking code: if ($sizeOK && $typeOK) { switch($_FILES['items']['error'][$number]) { case 0: if(!file_exists(UPLOAD_DIR.$file)) { $success = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number], UPLOAD_DIR.$file); } else { $success = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number], UPLOAD_DIR.$postDate.$file); $cp = true; } if ($success) { $result[] = "$file uploaded successfully"; } else { $result[] = "Error uploading $file. Please try again."; } break; case 3: $result[] = "Error uploading $file. Please try again."; default: $result[] = "System error uploading $file. Contact Webmaster."; } } elseif ($_FILES['items']['error'][$number] == 4) { $result[] = 'You chose not to add this file.'; } else { $result[] = "$file cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: $max.<br /> Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3.<br />Error number: " . $_FILES['items']['error'][$number]."<br />"; } ===================================== So for some reason on his computer it doesn't go to the switch statement (case 0), but goes to the very last else statement. So he always get this message: >bigfiles.mp3 cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: 51,000.00KB. >Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3 >Error number: 0 Yet, it always seems to work when I do it on my computer. Any insight into this issue would be very helpful. Thank you.
