Have you checked to see if any error codes are present in the $_FILES array?

[cool.works]

check your php.ini configuration file such as :

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M 

php_value post_max_size 10M 

php_value max_input_time 300 

php_value max_execution_time 300 

 

you can define the constraints within your PHP application:

 

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10M'); 

ini_set('post_max_size', '90M'); 

ini_set('max_input_time', 300); 

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

 

hope that helps you

By default, PHP allow a maximum file upload of 2MB. You can increase the limit when necessary.
 
Two PHP configuration options control the maximum upload size: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.
Both can be set to, say, “10M” for 10 megabyte file sizes.
 
Remember, PHP scripts normally time-out after 30 seconds, but a 10MB file would take at least 3 minutes to upload on a healthy broadband connection.
So you need to set PHP’s max_input_time and max_execution_time to something like 300 (5 minutes specified in seconds).
 
You can set these options 3 way -

1. Set in your server’s php.ini configuration file so that they apply to all your applications.
   

   upload_max_filesize = 10M
   post_max_size = 10M
   max_input_time = 300
   max_execution_time = 300
   

   
   

2. Set in your code.
   

   ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10M');  
   ini_set('post_max_size', '10M');  
   ini_set('max_input_time', 300);  
   ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
   

   
   

3. If you’re using Apache, you can configure the settings in your application’s .htaccess file
   

   php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
   php_value post_max_size 10M
   php_value max_input_time 300
   php_value max_execution_time 300
   

   
   

 

This seems very helpful information, but there is one confusion... where to find the php.ini file on the server. i am using window hosting for the website and using tomcat server...

use phpinfo to find the location of the correct php.ini file, and then check the relevant settings.
