Blank $_FILES array issue w/ PHP or apache

Post by josh »

I have this little test script for uploads

Code: Select all

<pre><?php
print_r($_FILES);
?>
</pre>

<form action="test.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                                <input type="file" name="upload" id="upload" /><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

Wen I run it I just get this output:

I have done a search in my apache configuration directory and it doesn't look like I have the "limitReqeuestBody" stetting set. (no .htaccess files either). It behaves the same whether my file is 200 bytes or 20MB. A blank $_FILES array.

Re: Blank $_FILES array issue w/ PHP or apache

Post by josh »

Normal text files don't show up in the $_POST array either. When I remove the enctyped="multipart/form-data" part, then regular post values show up but of course then $_FILES is still empty.

Have you checked your logs for error messages? Have you tried restarting apache?

You're missing the MAX_FILE_SIZE parameter:

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />

Is that required since PHP 5? I don't remember it being required in PHP 4.

I don't see anywhere in the documentation where it says it's not required.

I don't think I've ever used it with PHP 4 and I've never had the same problem...

It is optional (the manual calls it a "convenience"). The form never had that and just suddenly stopped working one day. I should note it broke all file uploads. It wasn't just my test page but stuff like file uploads inside of phpmyadmin, and also note that it was blocking regular $_POST values too not just file uploads when the "enctype" attribute was set. Any clues?

I re-installed PHP & Apache and started over fresh. Now my form is working again. I'd still like to see if someone can pinpoint the problem so I can try to replicate it again and learn from this. (Right now my form has no MAX_FILE_SIZE and is still working, so thats a no go)

Maybe check php.ini? Maybe it's possible the file_uploads directive was turned off, or perhaps some other file upload directive was too restrictive?

I did.... extensively, and that's why I posted my phpinfo() output in my original post. I don't know this was some voodo crap. Like I said it was not strictly messing up $_FILES. It was also messing up my $_POST values. When the form was "enctyped=multipart/form-data", NONE of the fields from that whole form would get submitted. $_POST would just be an empty array even the form had 1,000 text inputs populated. Changing the enc-type was a valid work around for the issue to get the forms working, but then of course the forms that did use file uploads stopped working (which is the only way in which this was specific to the $_FILES array). Other than that it affected $_POST values equally, even when there was no file uploading being done.

Reviewing my original post you'll see the phpinfo() output:
file_uploads On On
Like I said all I was submitting was a regular input field so under normal operation the "file_uploads" setting should not affect regular $_POST values.
