File Upload Problem

Question

I am trying to upload multiple files but when i select more than 1 djz_file it doesn't get any information form $_POST and $_FILES, in case of single file it works well.

<fieldset>
                    <legend>Add New Release</legend>
                    {if $action eq 'failure'}
                            <div class="error">Release Add, {$action}</div>
                    {/if}
                    <form class="niceform" method="post" action="xxxxxx.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="frmMovie" id="frmMovie">
                            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="9000000" />
                            <dl>

Answer 1

Uploading audio files for those slots, you are certainly exceeding some, and probably all, of the various limits on the maximum size of upload you can perform. In your HTML itself, you have

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="9000000" />

which isn't going to accomodate multiple audio files. There will also be your PHP config's upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to contend with (in php.ini or the other various places these can be modified).

If you write your PHP form processor so that it checks for and provides feedback on the $_FILES['foo']['error'] field, it will help a lot in debugging file uploads.
