Question

I have a simple but annoying problem and I don’t understand the reason. I need to upload a simple csv file with php. Here’s my code:

index.php:

<form method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

upload.php:

$upfile = "csv/".$_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $upfile);   

No errors whatsoever, but the file is still not uploaded on the server.

UPDATE: print_r($_FILES) output:

Array ( [fileUpload] => Array ( [name] => file1.csv [type] => text/comma-separated-values [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/php6YZ4Bt [error] => 0 [size] => 45 ) )

Things to check

1) make sure your directory has permissions set to 755

2) check your path to see if it is correct.

3) make sure your post_max_size is the proper size.

4) make sure all your errors are turned on.
This can be done in the php script by using this code:

error_reporting(E_ALL); // or E_STRICT
ini_set("display_errors",1);

5) Increase your memory limit to see if the script is using more memory than previously allocated..

ini_set("memory_limit","1024M");
