File Upload - zac - Jul 6th, 2010
I created a form and I am using a file upload feature. However, the file upload feature is not getting submitted to my form. Is there something I need create/direct to obtain the file upload image? All of the other information is being retained and submitted correctly.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

It might be that you have selected the wrong field type for the respective fields during the setup process. Here is how you can check and change that:
- Go to “Edit Form”
- Click the “Fields” tab
- Look for your file upload field on the list
- Check the “Field Type” column, “File” should be selected in the dropdown
- Change if not
- Go to “Settings”
- Go to the “Files” tab
- Click “Test Folder Permissions”
- If you get an error message you will have to change folder permissions
- Check the file size limit and whether you can actually upload the types of files you tried to upload (otherwise the upload will just quietly fail)

Your upload folder might also not have the right permissions or you might try to upload files which are too large or the wrong file format. You will have to check your “File” settings:
- Go to “Edit Form”
- Click the “Fields” tab
- Look for your file upload field on the list
- Check the “Field Type” column, “File” should be selected in the dropdown
- Change if not
- Go to “Settings”

How could i raise the file upload size to 3gigs
RE: File Upload - Ben - Aug 5th, 2011
HI RJGonzalez,
For file uploads of that size, you'll need to edit the php.ini setting for the server. But honestly, I've never heard of anyone setting it that large. Users would be waiting for hours to upload a 3 gig file, so it's not terribly realistic.
Still, check out php.net about the php.ini settings.
Good luck!

RE: File Upload [SOLVED] - robidigital - Aug 10th, 2011
I'm experiencing a strange issue similar in nature, only permissions/file-type/file-size don't seem to be the cause.
If I view a submission as an administrator or client I can choose a file, update and the file uploads to the server without any problem.
If I submit a file front the front-end form the file does not upload, but viewing the submission on the back-end shows the filename. The filename links to where the file should be but isn't and I get a file not found error.
I've even tried setting permissions to 777 on upload dir.
I'm using v2.0.0.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Turns out that I needed
