asked on $_FILES array in PHP
Hi experts,
Coming back to my little project after time away, and I found an error.
Here's the form input
and some code from the php processing it:
It is complaining that filFileName is undefined.
Notice: Undefined index: filFileName in E:\xampp\htdocs7\includes\
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks for reading.

Coming back to my little project after time away, and I found an error.
Here's the form input
<label class="item_label">Select file:</label>
<input type="file" id="filFileName" name="filFileName" accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx,.txt,.xls,.xlsx" style="width:25em; color: red;" <?=$disabled;?> />
<label for="filFileName" id="fileLabel"></label>
and some code from the php processing it:
$file_types_array = array('doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'pdf');
$uploaded = (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filFileName']['tmp_name'])) ? 'Upload File Present' : 'Upload File Not Present';
It is complaining that filFileName is undefined.
Notice: Undefined index: filFileName in E:\xampp\htdocs7\includes\
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks for reading.

Does it appear when you first first load the page? or after the HTTP POST?

After the post.
Please paste your <form> tag.

This code
Maybe I wipe it out somewhere along the line?
echo "<PRE>";
print_r($_FILES);
echo "</PRE>";
exit();

<form name="form1" id="form1" action="" method="post">
Check php.inin, if file_uploads= On and if you have a sufficient max size, there are both POST and FILE size limits.

This has worked before with the same files.
Well, you said "Coming back to my little project after time away". PHP.ini could have been changed in the meantime, couldn't it?

Interesting...filFileName turns up in the $_POST array:
Array
(
[txtFileHeading] => new testuibbb
[txtFileDescription] => test for adding
[txtExistingFileName] => Copy of Fixtures 3-31oct2015.xlsx
[filFileName] => 1. Council mins 27.09.15.pdf
[radUpyesno] => 0
[txtCategory] => newsletters
[txtPosId] => 1
[hdnID] => 63
[btnSubmit] => Save
)

True. I'll check it.
The $_POST array always contains all form elements by name. It may also help you find out the temp name, but normally that isn't the true file name anyway.
If the $_FILES array really is empty, there has to be a reason for that in settings. If not PHP.ini then look into .htaccess files.

file_upload is on and post_max_size is 8M. File size is 327kb

Changed form tag to
<form name="form1" id="form1" action="" method="post" encode="multipart/form-dat
but no difference.
I will now be away for 2 hours or so.
Cheers

How about trying a file name without a dot in it (aside of the one before the file extension of course)?

LOL, had another issue with json_encode today, so that's where that came from.
Thanks!
