Excluding $_FILES error number 4

Hi Everyone,

I have a rather stupid question, but I haven't been able to find the correct method / syntax to do this. I want to allow users to upload a maximum of 5 photos - less then 5 is OK too. I've been testing the following script and haven't gotten it to ignore error # 4 (no file uploaded):

 

   if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] == 1 || 2 || 3 || 6 || 7)   {
  
    echo 'Problem: ';
    switch ($_FILES['userfile']['error'])   {

      case 1:	echo 'File exceeded upload_max_filesize';
  			break;
      case 2:	echo 'File exceeded max_file_size';
  			break;
      case 3:	echo 'File only partially uploaded';
  			break;
  case 6:   echo 'Cannot upload file: No temp directory specified.';
  			break;
  case 7:   echo 'Upload failed: Cannot write to disk.';
  			break;
    }
    exit;
  }

 

I will be using a while loop and incrementing through the script (this is simpler version). Does anyone know the proper syntax for the IF statement ' if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] == 1 || 2 || 3 || 6 || 7)" ?

Thanks much,

Rick

if (in_array($_FILES['userfile']['error'], array(1, 2, 3, 6, 7))){

 

However,

1) You should use the constant names for readabity

2) You'd be better off just checking for success rather than all the error types

 

if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] != UPLOAD_ERR_OK && $_FILES['userfile']['error'] != UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE)){
  //..
}

 

Hello Kitchen,

Thank you very much, I have never seen that before. Works like a charm!

 

Also Pikachu2000,

I am allowing up to five photos along with string data to be uploaded to the server. It's OK if they upload less then five photos.

 

Thanks again for your help,

Cheers,

Rick

Right, but are they allowed to upload 5 in the same form submission, or are they allowed to have a grand total of 5 uploaded files on the server at any given time?
