$_FILES seems to be empty??

Hi,

trying to create a simple .pdf upload form

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
   File name:<br /> <input type="text" name="name" value="" /><br />
   PDF file:<br /> <input type="file" name="pdffile" value="" /><br />
   <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></p>
</form>

PHP:

but print_r($_FILES) seems to be empty, $_POST['name'] is good;

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	echo $_POST['name']."<br>";
	print_r($_FILES)."<br>";
etc

PHP:

i have chmod 777 the dir where .pdf should be uploaded

i am using phpversion 4.4.2

any tips?

ps: how can i check if file uploads is turned on? As this server config have phpinfo() disabled???
even

 ini_get('file_uploads')

PHP:

gives nothing. Should be 0 or 1, right?

ps2: i tried to get access to conf folder to add

<Directory "/some/dir">
php_admin_flag file_uploads on
php_value upload_max_filesize 4M
</Directory>

PHP:

Unfortunatly, i haven't got the permission

 

try to contact your hosting provider, it's not a php fault!

 

While you're at it , upgrade to PHP5 already. It's been over 5 years that PHP5 has been the current version of PHP.

 

It's possible that your <form> is inside another <form>, causing it not to work. This is a common error when working with $_FILES.

 

I think $_FILES is not compatible to php4.. upgrade to php 5, thats the best you can do

 

Alternatively there is $HTTP_POST_FILES['name'] (or 'tmp_name' and so forth) for the older PHP versions.

 

yap if i can remember thats $HTTP_POST_FILES.. +1 there blessinggr

 

lol $_FILES is php4 compatible.

try changing isset() to if($_POST)
