$_POST empty

[jaymc]

I have a wierd problem. I have an upload form where you can upload multiple files...

For some reason, its stoppe working. Now ive been working on it for about an hour trying to locate the root of the problem

I've now found that if the total amount of files amount to 8M+ It wont work

Now, obviously the first thing I did was check php.ini

as thought, it was fine

[b]upload_max_filesize = 1000M[/b]

What is happening? It definetly wont go past 8M

Edit: Ive just ran <?php echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize'); ?> and it gave 2M

Huh?

[Round]

how are you connecting to db?

Could be a similar issue I have with maximum size in retrieval
cheers

[jaymc]

Nothing to do with a database... just all PHP

[jaymc]

Their is no point because I havnt changed the script, it just stopped working. No i did open the php.ini file about a week ago but didnt edit anything. So obviously something has happened whilst doing that. But the script is fine, here it is anyway

form code:

[code]<form name='form' action='cheese.php' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>

<input type='hidden' name='genre' value='Dance'>

[/code]

and here is the PHP

[code]<?
print_r($_POST);
?>[/code]

It works fine, but as I said, when the files amount to over 8M in size, $_POST is empty, so the problem is definetly something to do with upload size/post size

[kenrbnsn]

Did anything change on your server? What's in the $_FILES array?

[jaymc]

When the uploads are over 8M both FILES and POST are empty

I cant think of anything that I have changed on the server, as I said I opened php.ini but didnt amend anything

[jaymc]

Any more ideas?

[Daniel0]

Won't solve your problem, but you might consider using field names like this: [code]<input type='text' name='songname[]' />
<input type='text' name='songname[]' />
...
<input type='text' name='songname[]' />[/code]

[jaymc]

Ive solved it

in php init, one of the comments was split in half on its own line, e.g

max_file_size = 1000M ; this is the max
size of the file

Thanks for the help guys
