The bits listed on this page: http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/upload-size.php

"djpeg, cjpeg and pnmscale"

I was initially attempting to use this script, before I got involved with 4 other tutorials and scripts and basically got myself all turned around inside out and sideways and apparently left in the resizing part when changing the rest.

However! I did manage to get it working, so I'm quite pleased about that part.

Your job is SO not in danger from me... :eek:

What's missing? The GD support?

K, I figured out what the problem was -- I was trying to include resizing without having the correct modules installed, so it was failing at the resize level, something the thumbnails avoided by being too small.

So there you go.

okay, I'm totally flummoxed now. I used a script from Web Blazonry and removed the resizing part and it works fine. With the resizing part, I had the same errors as I was getting with my own (i.e. file saved as 0b).

Okay, not going to think about it. Thanks for helping me rule things out. I'm going to assume I had a bad space or misplaced semi-colon or something and run with it.

The other script is Gallery, and it's quite a lot of effort to download it, configure it and set it up just to test, but I suppose, lol, if I can't get it right, I will!

I don't know where to find the tmp directory?

Yes, I wrote it, or rather, put it together using a bunch of other scripts, including http://www.php.net/manual/sk/printwn/features.file-upload.php where a user seems to have a similar problem but no solution?

The problem for me is that it works for small images, but not larger ones. So clearly it's working to some extent -- it's just the file size? I tried changing MAX_FILE_SIZE to max_file_size and such, but it didn't seem to have an effect.

Re: PHP File Upload not working for larger images?

Have you tried that other script on this server?
Did you write the script your using or download it somewhere?

Timeout was the first thin I thought of. The max_execution_time is typically set to 30 seconds, which should really be enough. You might try extending this just to try it:
set_time_limit(30);

Another (unlikely) cause -- does the destination upload directory (the tmp directory) have enough space?

Well if nothing else, I can rule out those problems...

The upload_max_blahblah is set to 2M, the max_file_size is set to 1200000 (which ought to really be more than enough for a 35000b file).

None of the images have spaces (they are all one word names like yucca.jpg).

I'm the only one with access to the script.

Traffic to the database is painfully light.

So... now that we've eliminated possible causes (thanks, Busy!), what is left?

The thumbnails upload like a dream, just float on in there. The larger images appear to upload, but are 0kb when they get to the final directory.

Ideas on what to look for would be great! I don't even know what to call this, lol...

This isn't the answer to your question but is related.
two people using the form at the same time can corrupt the item (text or image) unless provisions are set for this. (I'm trying to sort this out myself). also spaces in input (filename)

Also time outs can affect them if traffic to the database is heavy, but since your just testing doubt would be any of these.
