This question is specifically about the GH File Upload Action.
I am using Chronoforms v4.0.4 with Joomla! 3.1.5. The form is pretty simple. I just have the user search for an order number. Then they go to the next page and browse to the file and then upload the file. When they are done, I say thanks for uploading and give them a button to go back to their homepage. Here are my settings in the upload action:
Files: file1:pdf
Upload Path: /home/mydomain/public_html/uploadFolder/
File Name: (empty - use default)
Make file name safe: URL Encode
Max Size in KB: 10000
Min Size in KB: 10
Errors - left as default.
That's it.
The user doesn't get an error, so they think the file upload worked. Not sure why that is either. However, I put a debugger on the form and got the error shown below.
File post array: Array ( [name] => 3721 Heron Ave SW Wyoming.pdf [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 1 [size] => 0 )
PHP returned this error for file upload by: file1
1
Other things I have looked at:
- My max file size or the system for uploads is set to 20M. I thought that was the problem, but it doesn't seem to be.
Any thoughts Bob? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi luxhodge,
Here's what the PHP Manual says:
UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
I'd check the setting on the Site Admin | System Info | PHP Info page to make sure that it really is set to 20MB
Bob
PS I also see that there are spaces in the file name - I have a recollection that can cause problems with Windows servers??

Thanks for the response Bob!
It was indeed a file size problem. The thing that was messing me up was that it was showing 20M for a max in my CPanel. I ended up contacting the hosting provider. They pointed me straight to the root directory where an extra php.ini file was located. That file did not have a max upload size specified, so it was causing the site to default back to 2M. Lowest spec wins I guess. Anyway, that file was put there by my RSFirewall component on a system check. It did a "fix" to secure the site. I didn't realize that was part of the fix. It is all good now. I removed the extra file and it works fine. Thanks again for your response!
