I've been having the same problem, sort of. I.e. the blanking out of POST data when uploading a file, though it also happens in some instances when using phpMyAdmin when sending an SQL query through its interface.
I run the whole thing under WindowsXP with PHP 4.2.3, MySQL 3.23.52-nt (though that has no bearing in the code to upload the file), and PHP running as a module of Apache 1.3.27 and 1.3.26 before that. phpMyAdmin is 2.3.1. I have checked and rechecked everything, and can't seem to find the problem. I do believe that is a bug in the PHP engine, and possibly the one mentioned at the top of the phpMyAdmin home page at www.phpmyadmin.net. But not sure how that affects the file uploads. It happens most of the time, but not always. I do ocasionally get to upload the file (an image). Same file can succeed or fail. This is in the windows XP, that I use for development. On the real servers, running on Solaris and Red Hat Linux but with the same version of PHP and Apache the same scripts work perfectly! I posted before and someone suggested to check for the upload dir. I did and it worked the first time, so I went to claim victory, only to realize that it was again one off. I do use register_globals = off (though I have tested with register_globals = on and the result is the same, even in the error log). I have checked for sizes of different things where they correspond. I have also disabled mod_gzip in case it was an issue. I also set implicit_flush = On to see if that would help, but it didn't. Set the logs of Apache to debug and yet can't see anything wrong in there. In this environment I have everything set to report all errors and notices. The only thing that I see in the error logs is a couple undefined variables when the POST information dissapears. In the access.log there is hardly any difference between successful and unsuccessful uploads. I have read over 2700 posts (all that has been collected since I subscribed to the list with my original post) in the hopes that something would give me a clue as to what is happening, and this thread is the closest. I could only think of it being some environment variable limiting some kind of buffer size or similar, but given that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't with files in different size ranges and coming from different folders in the system, I had to ditch that idea, for the time being. I could also go back to php 4.2.2, but I'm lazy ;) but if that could help debug? Any ideas when the next version of PHP is coming out? Or can anyone confirm that there is a bug of PHP on Windows which would manifest this way? Any help or further hints deeply appreciated! :) Cheers, Jose PS. I have attached the httpd.conf and php.ini file. As for the PHP code I can include it if requested, but it reproducible with a simple upload form in my system, nothing special. > -----Original Message----- > From: 1LT John W.
