upload file error 3: "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded"

[lawrence k]

I've a file that starts like this:

<form id="pdsForm" method="post" action="/mcControlPanel.php"
class="mcForm" charset="UTF-8" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
and it contains this input:

<input id="biopic" name="biopic" type="file" />

The script recieving it does this:

$biopic = $this->core->getVar("biopic");
if (is_array($biopic)) {
print_r($biopic);

I get:

Array ( [name] =L-monkeySmall.jpg [type] =[tmp_name] =[error] =>
3 [size] =0 )

Error 3 is "Array ( [name] =L-monkeySmall.jpg [type] =[tmp_name]
=[error] =3 [size] =0 )". As you can see, 0 kilobytes were
uploaded.

What should I look for? I've been looking on the web for awhile and so
far I've found little useful information about what Error 3 typically
indicates.

We have no clue what code $this->core->getVar() does...

I get:

Array ( [name] =L-monkeySmall.jpg [type] =[tmp_name] =[error] =>
3 [size] =0 )

Error 3 is "Array ( [name] =L-monkeySmall.jpg [type] =[tmp_name]

1. Check what upload directory is set.
2. Check wether you have writing permissions in that directory.
3. Make sure you've got space left (see another big thread about 2 weeks
ago I think...).

Sorry. It basically is the same as:

$biopic = $_POST["biopic"];

Worrisome. Poking around and trying to figure this one out myself, I
used phpinfo(). I see this line:

upload_tmp_dir no value no value
What does it mean upload_tmp_dir "no value"? Is that normal?

This is on one of those virtual hosted shared environement $25 a month
type accounts, so I can ssh to the server and chance the php.ini.

Yeah, that shouldn't be the problem. The default php.ini setting is
for that setting to be commented out, in which case, it uses the
system's default. Have you checked the folder permissions?

Here's the PHP manual's error code list for file uploads. PHP's manual
should be the first place you look for stuff like this:

http://php.net/manual/en/features.fi...oad.errors.php

It indicates that the file was only partially uploaded. I've never
encountered that myself, so try reading the user notes on the same
page. If that doesn't help, Google the exact phrase for error code 3.
