PHP upload file error code 8

Question

I have a form with works well (upload) for many image files and with diferente size.

But some images are not uploaded to the server.

Problem images have empty $_FILE[name][tmp_name] and $_FILE[name][error] == 8.

In the same time other images (which have a larger or smaller file size) uploading properly.

Have you any ideas?

Thanks.

Renaming a file does not help. Now I try to find the cause using phpinfo() — Bell8

I got the same problem, getting error 8 when trying to upload with move_uploaded_file function. My upload script worked well for 5 years, but suddenly stopped working. [photo1] => Array ( [name] => offf.jpg [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 8 [size] => 0 ) I used phpinfo() and found out the script, according to error number 8, which is causing problem to my upload is "suhosin" which can be something else in your case. I contacted my server admin for help and asked if they have installed "suhosin" recently. — user1540647

Hi error code 8 means:

 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. Introduced in PHP 5.2.0.

Things that may help:

check if your server has some extra security modules installed that may limit file uploading (eg.Suhosin gives a lot of these issues)
check if your max_upload_filesize and post_max_size params are properly set
try to check if this issue happens with some specific file (eg. big files, for some extensions or some filenames) or if it's completely random

upload_max_filesize:100M post_max_size:100M The error occurs only when uploading certain images (other images that are larger or smaller or the same size / resolution / extension) do not cause errors. Renaming the image does not help. 1 of 25 images that I downloaded from the Internet and tried to upload caused the error, and the other is normal uploading. size of all images ~40-60 КByte

By the way, server has Suhosin Extension, I'll try to find a solution in this direction.

If you pic the image that gives you error and you reupload it, do you still get that error or is that a more "positional" issue (let's say it begins to fail after 20 uploads)?

Bell8 Over a year ago

Issue happens every time when I can try to upload problem image, regardless of the order in which I upload it.

Ace_Gentile Over a year ago

can you try to upload another image with the same width/height to see if it fails? The best attempt you can do BTW is disable Suhosin and make an upload attempt but dunno if you have enough perms

            if (isset($_FILES['files']) && !empty($_FILES['files'])) 
             {
                  date_default_timezone_set("asia/kolkata");
                  $image=date("YmdHis")."_".$_FILES['files']['name'];
                  move_uploaded_file($_FILES['files'] 
                  ['tmp_name'],"uploads/business/".$image);
             }
