ID: 26004 Comment by: sudeshkmr at yahoo dot com Reported By: jacknorton101 at hotmail dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: RedHat Linux 9 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment:
I faced the same problem and nothing worked. I have tested on Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3 on Windows Vista. I also tested on Ubuntu (Karmic) with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3. I also tested with nGinX 0.8 and PHP 5.3. Then I found a workaround. The action="" parameter should not be the script page itself on which you have file upload form. For example, you have a page index.php with the upload form. <form action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000"> <input type="file" size="40" name="upload"> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> </form> The action="upload.php" <-------- This page has to be different than the file upload form page, and it works on all configurations of PHP! Do not use <php?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?> for the action parameter.

They do not throw any error, but they just unset the variables. I had the problem with the POST variable not being set, when I migrated to a new host. After hours of debugging, I found out that these variables: #php_value upload_max_filesize 50M #php_value post_max_size 55M #php_value memory_limit 384M were causing the webserver to set the memory limit to 256K and POST variable not working. So I commented them out and insted used php.ini to set the variables. It worked fine after that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-10 10:53:46] just at helping dot com IT IS NOT a BUG. GET and post methods will work as normal requests but if you use the form enctype multipart then you got to handle the request as multipart. In java I use the oreilly MultipartRequest to parse the data and it works wonderfully. You migh thave to find a way to get it in PHP or you can write yourself a multipartrequest class based on oreilly's one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-01 16:22:26] shaharjourno at hotmail dot com Hi I had the same bug i found a solution please check your Post_max_SIZE. there are some problems with some sizes.
