image won't upload - i've checked form a dozen times

[lawrence]

I've the form you see below, which is supposed to upload an image. I
expect the image name as a var to be $uploadedFile. In the receiving
function, I've this code:
global $uploadedFile, $uploadedFile_size, $uploadedFile_name;
echo "here is the file name: $uploadedFile, $uploadedFile_size,
$uploadedFile_name; <hr> ";
$uploadedFile_name =
$formatTextObject->processFileName($uploadedFile_name);
$uploadedFile_name = htmlspecialchars($uploadedFile_name);

The line where I echo things out is just for debugging. I get the
first 5 words, but no vars, nothing, no globals of that name are in
global space. Below is the form. What am I missing?

<form method="post" action="/mcControlPanel.php"

<div class="formElement">

<div class="formElement">

<input type="hidden" name="fileName" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Click here when done" class="submitInput">
</form></div>

[lawrence]

I've now checked all the vars that I can think of. I'm working with a
server running RH 9, PHP 4.2.3. YOu can see the whole form below.
After upload, all the vars are empty, including $_FILES array. The
image I'm trying to upload is 87k .

What am I missing folks?


<div class="onePanel">
<form method="post" action="/mcControlPanel.php"
enctype="multipart/form-data" class="mcForm"><input id="inputId1"

Add the following 2 line in the beginning of your script and then retry.

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>

I switched to a different web server and I tried your advice. Now the
file name appears (see bottom line below), though the image is still
not uploading. This server runs BSD and PHP 4.0.6. Can you think of
any reason an older version of PHP might see the file name, while the
other server, running 4.2.3 showed nothing?

I switched to a different web server and I tried your advice. Now the

http://in2.php.net/reserved.variables :
Since PHP 4.1.0, the preferred method for retrieving
external variables is with the superglobals mentioned
below. Before this time, people relied on either
register_globals or the long predefined PHP arrays
($HTTP_*_VARS). As of PHP 5.0.0, the long PHP predefined
variable arrays may be disabled with the register_long_arrays
directive.

Few other guidelines:
1. Always enable full error reporting
2. Learn the art of debugging. Can be done with print_r($GLOBALS)
easily on >=4.1.0 for example.
3. Try using Google <http://www.google.com/search?q=php+upload> and
manual <http://in.php.net/features.file-upload>

And here, it seems the file is getting uploaded to the upload
directory (usually /tmp) as expected.

Thanks much for the tips. I hope I didn't waste your time. I did, of
course, use print_r(), I thought that was in the example I posted, but
perhaps not.

But I'm still having the same trouble.

You'll admit that print_r() isn't much use if the variable isn't
registered. I'm getting nothing in $_POST and nothing in
$HTTP_POST_VARS.

I'm debuging on two machines. The BSD server running PHP 4.06 works
fine, the images upload and the variables show up. But on the server,
running RH Linux and PHP 4.2.3 I still don't get anything at all. I
assume it's something in the ini file but I'm not sure what.

By the way, I do respect the time of the people who here answer
questions and so I always first run a search at groups.google.com
before I post a question. But I didn't see anything in the archives
that explained a possible difference between two web servers, with
setups similar to what I'm running.

May be the IE bug <http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=abc4d8b8.0405032154.67ac69f0%40posting .google.com>

Couldn't you compare the two ini files?
