File upload php error 2

This happens regardless of how small the file you're uploading may be. On error, my page attempts to output the name of the original file.

But what I discovered is that this original file name, which I maintained in a local variable, actually gets corrupted. Hopefully, this tidbit will save someone else some grief. This updates "adam at gotlinux dot us" above and makes it version aware, and also adds newer constants to the array.

The reason we want to check the version is that the constants are not defined in earlier versions, and they appear later in the array. They would effectively overwrite the "0" index no error with an error message when the file actually uploaded fine. It also drops the constant's value 0,1,2, etc for the errors, in the likely event that they are changed later the code should still work fine. It works good. But there is a certain problem.

You know there are two sides to generating errors. Because when you generate an Exception, your script will come to an halt and do whatever you have defined in catch clause. Now you dont want any client to see the Exception, do you? I will not. The client will want to know what error occured in simple words they can understand instead of wanting their web app crashed if upload fails. So, dont generate exceptions. These errors should be collected and shown to client in an elegant way.

If a browser supports this form field, it will not allow the user to choose a file that is larger than bytes. So, the user does not have to wait for a file to upload to the server in order to find out whether it is too large or not. Also, both IE 6 and Firefox 2. What do you think about this web page? It is very helpful.

It is helpful, but some information I wanted is missing. It is not helpful. It has broken links. Hope this helps someone. Any number that you specify above that results in a failed upload without any informative error describing what went wrong.
