PHP, Apache and Ubuntu: FILES Array empty

[Murdon]

Hello everybody,

 

I think, this is my first thread concerning a programming problem I opened up in my life.

In every other case, I could figure it out by asking other programmers or - that helped

me the most time - by asking google.

 

But in this case I don't know.

 

Environment:

PHP Version 5.2.10

ubuntu6.7

Apache/2.2.12

 

Description

I want to upload some content. In my case it could be a plain text file,

it also could be a binary file. My page is generated dynamically by using

PHP and contains more than just one "form" tag.

 

Source code of my form:

<form action="interlink/uploadtable.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="table" value="<?php echo ($sTableString_Base64); ?>" />
<table border="0">
  <tr>
	<th scope="col" align="left">Wählen Sie eine Liste bzw. eine Tabelle aus, die importiert werden soll...</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><input name="table_to_upload" type="file" size="55" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><input name="hasHeadline" type="checkbox" value="TRUE" />
		Die Liste enthält eine Kopfzeile
	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><input type="submit" value="Importieren" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

 

The language is "German", but this should matter anyway.

 

The problem is, that the $_FILES array in the PHP file, which

works with the entered file, is always empty. In other cases one or

more of the following steps helped:

 

* Ensuring that "enctype" is properly set (It is!)

* Ensuring that max_file_uploads is valid (50)

* Ensuring that upload_max_filesize is valid (16M)

* Ensuring that post_max_size is valid (8M)

* Ensuring that post_max_site is lower that upload_max_filesize

* Ensuring that every form tag on the page has the enctype

* Ensuring that the rights for the public user is valid (777 and 777 both, on temp dir and on destination dir)

* ...

 

I have read the whole "Gordons Luk's Blog" and made everything:

http://getluky.net/2004/10/04/apachephp-_files-array-mysteriously-empty/

 

But the $_FILES array remains empty. And the temporary directory

also remains empty. I have no more idea, what to do now.

 

Does anyone of you had a same problem or has an idea?

 

I attached the phpinfo() call as a pdf, so you can directly take a look

at my configurations.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you create a boiled down example and run it on the same server does $_FILE remain empty? i.e. if you have nothing on the page but a form with a file input.
