Error Messages Explained

PHP returns an appropriate error code along with the file array. The error code can be found in the error segment of the file array that is created during the file upload by PHP. In other words, the error might be found in $_FILES['userfile']['error'].

UPLOAD_ERR_OK

Value: 0; There is no error, the file uploaded with success.

UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE

Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE

Value: 2; The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.

UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL

Value: 3; The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.

UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE

Value: 4; No file was uploaded.

UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR

Value: 6; Missing a temporary folder.

UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE

Value: 7; Failed to write file to disk.

UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION

Value: 8; A PHP extension stopped the file upload. PHP does not provide a way to ascertain which extension caused the file upload to stop; examining the list of loaded extensions with phpinfo() may help.
