file upload script uploads empty file

I'm using the attached code to upload an image file. The sql data is inserted correctly, and the filename is in the destination directory as expected, but the filesize is 0. Help?

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['form_image']['tmp_name']))  {
        // file uploaded to server
        $imageInfo = getimagesize($_FILES['form_image']['tmp_name']);
        $width = $imageInfo[0];
        $height = $imageInfo[1];
        $image_type = $imageInfo[2];
 
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['form_image']['tmp_name'], "./pics/images/sample_dir/album_/".$_FILES['form_image']['name']);
 
        if(isset($_POST['field1'])) {
          $myfield1 = trim(htmlentities($_POST['field1']));
        } else {
          $myfield1 = '';
        }
 
        if(isset($_POST['myfield2'])) {
          $myfield2 = trim(htmlentities($_POST['myfield2']));
        } else {
          $myfield2 = '';
        }
 
      $fnp = 'sample_dir/album_/'.$_FILES['form_image']['name'];
      $query = "INSERT INTO pics (path, caption, description, date_submitted)
                VALUES ('".$fnp."', '".$caption."', '".$description."', NOW())";
      $result = $database->query($query);
      if($result) {
			echo 'Success!';
      }
    }

Well, I guess it's got something to do with file size, but how do I control that?

Loganathan Natarajan

try this to control the file size..,

$file_size=$_FILES['file']['size'];

if($file_size >= $limit_size){
echo "Your file size is over limit<BR>";
echo "Your file size = ".$file_size;
echo "<BR>File size limit = 50000 k";
}
else {
<<<Upload process>>>

}

logudotcom:
if file is over size limit, it would fail to be uploaded in the first place, so you can't check its size

n00b0101:
did u try to upload small files, a 50k or something ? does it work ? it it works and it is a file size problem for sure, then you should contact you site admin to increase max alloed uploaded file size. if you are the one incharge for the server, you can change that from php.ini

Even though this didn't provide the outright solution, it still pointed me in the right direction, so thanks!
