Trouble uploading images

Hi, I'm using PHP 4 and I am submitting some images in a form with

<form name=addProductForm enctype="multipart/form-data" method=post
action="add_product_response.php">
<input type=file name='prodImg' id='prodImg'>

However, sometimes, the images fail to upload, even though the form
submits fine. When I try to print out the values from the
$_FILES['prodImg'] array, I get

name: ONDA076.jpg
type:
tmp_name:
error: 3
size: 0

What does an error code of 3 mean? I would prefer not to do anything
to my image (take it to PhotoShop and edit it, etc.). Is there
something else I can do so that it will upload?

Thanks, - Dave

This suggests that the file is to large for your current configuration.

There are at least 2 config settings that is worth looking at:
upload_max_filesize
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.sec...d-max-filesize
This value can only be changed in php.ini, httpd.conf (asuming you're using
apache), or a .htaccess file.

The second setting is:
post_max_size
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.sec....post-max-size
This value can only be changed the same places as upload_max_filesize.

Thanks for the advice. I don't have control over the php.ini file, but
I tried adding these settings

// set max file upload sizes
ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "10M");
ini_set("post_max_size", "12M");

This is well above what the size of the file I'm uploading. However, I
get the same result. Apache is the web server. I have a hunch the web
server is cutting me off. What would the .htaccess file look like
since I also don't have control over the httpd.conf file?

Thanks again, - Dave

No, as I said. you can't set these values using ini_set(), since they have
to be set, before the script is run.

put this in your .htaccess file:
php_value post_max_size 22M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M


This may or may not work, depending on the restrictions your webhost has set
in the httpd.conf file, with regards to what you may do in the .htaccess
file.
