Uploading file to Fedora php server creates empty file
Dear Experts,
I looked at : file upload script uploads empty file (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23060161/file-upload-script-uploads-empty-file.html)
but I still have the same problem.. uploading a File creates the file but doesn't fill in the data.
I gave (on my code) ownership of the folder to Apache and did a chmod 755.
I looked at my php.ini:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp/
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 12M
Yet it's still not working.. I moved the code from another server (so I know my code works) and even with the test code I got from the other question, I'm not getting any close..
how do I upload the file so it actually fills the data?

Yes, many times have I been killed by SE Linux. Defiantly check that first.
Other Questions:
1) How is this Data being uploaded (Flash, HTML form, java, etc)
2) Can you post the PHP code that is handling the upload
3) Can you post the code if it is HTML, especally the "<form" tag
4) Is PHP safe mode on? (in phpinfo();)
That would be very helpful. I have has this issue before I just cant remember what the issue was.

SElinux is disabled, i checked

I used the code from the other question.. which claims that it works.. and I think it does.
<?php
if (isset($_FILES['file'])){
$file = $_FILES['file'];
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],$file['name']); }
?>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="file"><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

Hi,
I also checked for Php safe mode:
safe_mode => Off => Off
I still need help on this!

Here's my SElinux file:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Have you enabled errors via the following:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ASKER
Hi,
Just added the code and I still don't get any errors...
Looked at the error_log file and its not showing errors.
What else can I try?
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
if (isset($_FILES['file'])){
$file = $_FILES['file'];
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],$file['name']); }
?>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="file"><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

I'm still trying to get this to work on my server.
So far all the solutions offered didn't solve my problem.

How big is the file?
Take a look at this:
i was having difficulty with the upload_max_filesize , if u set the max file size lesser than the php setting then ur script to report error will only work till this difference between ur max set file size and the php set max size .Hence if the uploaded file exceeds the php max file size then php end abruptly without a trace of error that is it behaves like no file is uploaded and hence no error reported .Sure if uploading a file is optional for a form then a user who uploads larger file will get no error and still the form will be processed only without the file.

File uploads may create error information that is useful. Please try this:
var_dump($_FILES);
And then refer to the man pages here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php
An example of how to do a file upload is available here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php
Please look that information over (all of the moving parts are important) and post back with any questions. Best regards, ~Ray
