I followed the method in the online manual to set up a small file upload.
It works well with some files and fails with some others!

if (is_uploaded_file($uploadedFile))
   {
   echo "UPLOAD OK<br>";
   ...
   }
else  
   {
   echo "upload KO";
   }

I try to rename the files.
I tried with files in my c:\ root dir.
(local system: winMe)
Some will get uploaded some wont!?
Tried long/short names
Files are about 1-10k large for testing purpose

Are there any upload rules ?

Thanks in advance

Tried php 4.0.5 => same problem.
I can *sometimes* upload files, *sometimes* i can't!?

Is there any pattern of files you can't upload? like,
are they always binary files that fail?

It seems that binary files always fail and others sometimes fail.
I thought it could be wise to add the submit form I use.

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="typePub" value="file">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4096">
<input type="file" name="leFichier">
...
</form>

You're setting the maximum filesize to be 4096 bytes.
That might be the reason for the uploads to fail?
Not many normal files are that small.

No feedback. Closing.

I have got the same problem... I'm using php4.1.0 as a module of apache... with file size all it is OK, but sometimes upload fails, sometimes do not... more often fails than not...
