Question

There are no errors in my IDE, and the HTTP Response from my server is 200 OK, yet the file isn't uploaded to my server.

I am using the source code from this answer.

Note: I edited my php.ini to allow larger files to be uploaded.

Here's the echo result I get from upload_file.php:

Upload: aa.jpg
Type: image/jpeg
Size: 7.4501953125 Kb
Temp file: /tmp/phpWI6NnW
Stored in: upload/aa.jpg

HTML form

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title></title>
</head>

<body>

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file"><span>Filename:</span></label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> 
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

PHP handler (upload_file.php)

Change upload folder to preferred name. Presently saves to upload/

<?php

$allowedExts = array("jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png", "mp3", "mp4", "wma");
$extension = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/mp4")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "audio/mp3")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "audio/wma")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg"))

&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))

  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

Solution 2

If this so then it means that you have something wrong in the logic of the Web API.

Your HttpRequest executed correctly without any error but it might your Web API is not working correctly.

OTHER TIPS

change max file size to 20m it work for me 

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 20M

Solution: Make your file/directory writable. For me, I had to set the permissions to 0777.

I had the same issue though the programming was a little different with other if statements but my issue was that the file was already in the folder and my code wasn't allowing a second copy of the file. I removed the file from the uploaded folder and bam the next one was able to send through. Just something to share in case someone has this simple problem too!
