$ FILES is empty

When I send a multipart form with a file $_FILES appear empty

[homeini]

Hello,

I've got a simple form to send a photo. But when I send it $_FILES appears empty.

I've write enctype="multipart/form-data" in the HTML so I don't understand what happend.

The HTML:

<form action="submit.php" method="post" name="registerForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
   <tr>
    <td>Photo (max-width:800px):</td>
    <td class="main "><input type="file" name="photo">&nbsp;<span class="inputRequirement">*</span></td>
   </tr>
<tr>
    <td><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="10"></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <td class="main" style="padding-left: 7px"><input type="submit" value="Enviar" /></td> 
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
   </tr>
   </table>
</form>

The PHP:

print "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_FILES);
print "</pre>";

The Result:

Array
(
  [photo] => prueba.jpg
)
Array
(
)

The above code looks ok, the problem may be on submit.php how are you handling the images?

You may need to set the MAX_FILE_SIZE attribute in your form.

EX:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">

As I recall I could never get file submission to work without that set on the form before the actual file field.

assuming you have checked on mispelled words:

activate error reporting: error_reporting(E_ALL); (put this on top of your page)

make sure SAFE MODE is off - you cant upload anything via php in safe mode.

Thanks all!

The problem was fixed with the solution gave by Duskrider.

I forgot the hidden MAX_FILE_SIZE field. Now it's working perfectly.

Bye!

Just out of curiosity, what browser and version are you using?

[homeini]

I don't remember it so well, but Mozilla 1.7.12 or Firefox 2.0.0.11

The only reason I was curious is because it should still show the $_FILES array when you print it out. I haven't seen it where it hasn't before when it was missing that hidden form element. Maybe it's certain versions of FF? It works fine without it for me. Anyway, you should have been getting the corresponding error value [us2.php.net], I'd imagine, instead of having no array at all.

Anyyyway....I'm glad you have yours working. Thanks for the additional information. If I find out more on this topic, I'll be sure to let everyone know :)
