Photo Upload getimagesize() warning - filename cannot be empty

Question

I've run into a conundrum and was wondering if anyone might be able to give me a straight answer. So I built a photo upload script using PHP/MySQL. Within the script photos are re-sized and given a temporary name while being uploaded. I tested it using several pictures (file size 220 KB | 960 x 720) and everything was working just fine. Then I attempted to upload several pictures from my digital camera (file size 2.47 MB | 3000 x 4000) and all of a sudden I got this error:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Filename cannot be empty in /php_parsers/photo_system.php on line 94

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /php_parsers/photo_system.php:94) in /php_parsers/photo_system.php on line 96

I checked stackoverflow for a post with a similar issue and came upon one however it didn't seem to apply to the scenario I'm experiencing.

Here is the applicable code for "photo_system.php". I have commented the offending lines 94 and 96. Any help/ideas you could give would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

OK everyone. I figured out what the issue was. Hopefully this will help someone in the future. So I checked my phpinfo() and found that upload_max_filesize was only set to 2M. I added php.ini to the directory of the offending file and included:

upload_max_filesize = 250M
post_max_size = 250M
max_execution_time = 300

date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

I had to add the date.timezone because my system didn't like the fact that I didn't have it defined. Anyway this has resolved the issue.
