Filename cannot be empty

Question

I get this error everytime i hit the submit button. Everything else is submitted to the database, only the image isn\'t. Warning: file_get_contents(): Filename cannot be empty

Answer 1

In the $_FILES array, you've said you're getting [name]=>DSC_0770.JPG[type]=> [tmp_name]=>[error]=>1[size]=>0

If tmp_name is not given, that means the file was not uploaded.

The error you're given is 1, and according to the upload error messages explained page this means: that the uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

You can do the following to fix this.

• Find your php.ini file and increase the size of upload_max_filesize.
• Use ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '20M'); or whatever size you want at the start of your script.
• Compress your images before uploading.

Answer 2

make sure you add enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute in your <form> tag. like

<form action="your_action_file" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
