Problem uploading file. Warning: move_uploaded_file (See more user questions)
Hi
I suspect it's something on your server or internet connection that is
causing the script to bomb.
There is also a maximum post setting in php.ini (post_max_size) in addition
the the max filesize. Check the setting for it.
6 meg is a pretty big file to upload. It might be the case that the script
is timing out (if not the internet connection or webserver). You can add
some code to prevent the script from timing out, but check the max post size
first. To prevent the script timing out, put this code at the top (just
after <?php):
set_time_limit(0);
(I haven't as yet looked at your form)
Any questions, just let me know.
Best wishes.
