UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL is given when the mime boundary is not found after the file data. A possibly cause for this is that the upload was cancelled by the user (pressed ESC, etc).
Explication sur les messages d'erreurs de chargement de fichiers
Depuis PHP 4.2.0, PHP retourne un code d'erreur approprié dans le tableau de fichiers. Ce code d'erreur est accessible à l'index ['error'] du tableau, qui est créé durant le téléchargement, par PHP. En d'autres termes, le message d'erreur est accessible dans la variable $_FILES['userfile']['error'].
- UPLOAD_ERR_OK
-
Valeur : 0. Aucune erreur, le téléchargement est correct.
- UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
-
Valeur : 1. Le fichier téléchargé excède la taille de upload_max_filesize, configurée dans le php.ini.
- UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE
-
Valeur : 2. Le fichier téléchargé excède la taille de MAX_FILE_SIZE, qui a été spécifiée dans le formulaire HTML.
- UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL
-
Valeur : 3. Le fichier n'a été que partiellement téléchargé.
- UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE
-
Valeur : 4. Aucun fichier n'a été téléchargé.
- UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR
-
Valeur : 6. Un dossier temporaire est manquant. Introduit en PHP 4.3.10 et PHP 5.0.3.
- UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE
-
Valeur : 7. Échec de l'écriture du fichier sur le disque. Introduit en PHP 5.1.0.
- UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION
-
Valeur : 8. L'envoi de fichier est arrêté par l'extension. Introduit en PHP 5.2.0.
Note: Ces constantes sont apparues en PHP 4.3.0.

Why make stuff complicated when you can make it easy?

This is a handy exception to use when handling upload errors:
<?php
class UploadException extends Exception
{
public function __construct($code) {
$message = $this->codeToMessage($code);
parent::__construct($message, $code);
}
private function codeToMessage($code)
{
switch ($code) {
case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
$message = "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE:
$message = "The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL:
$message = "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
$message = "No file was uploaded";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR:
$message = "Missing a temporary folder";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE:
$message = "Failed to write file to disk";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION:
$message = "File upload stopped by extension";
break;
default:
$message = "Unknown upload error";
break;
}
return $message;
}
}
// Use
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
//uploading successfully done
} else {
throw new UploadException($_FILES['file']['error']);
}
?>

For those reading this manual in german (and/or probably some other languages) and you miss error numbers listed here, have a look to the english version of this page ;)

I've been playing around with the file size limits and with respect to the post_max_size setting, there appears to be a hard limit of 2047M. Any number that you specify above that results in a failed upload without any informative error describing what went wrong. This happens regardless of how small the file you're uploading may be. On error, my page attempts to output the name of the original file. But what I discovered is that this original file name, which I maintained in a local variable, actually gets corrupted. Even my attempt to output the error code in $_FILES['uploadedfiles']['error'] returns an empty string/value.
Hopefully, this tidbit will save someone else some grief.

Clarification on the MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden form field and the UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE error code:
PHP has the somewhat strange feature of checking multiple "maximum file sizes".
The two widely known limits are the php.ini settings "post_max_size" and "upload_max_size", which in combination impose a hard limit on the maximum amount of data that can be received.
In addition to this PHP somehow got implemented a soft limit feature. It checks the existance of a form field names "max_file_size" (upper case is also OK), which should contain an integer with the maximum number of bytes allowed. If the uploaded file is bigger than the integer in this field, PHP disallows this upload and presents an error code in the $_FILES-Array.
The PHP documentation also makes (or made - see bug #40387 - http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40387) vague references to "allows browsers to check the file size before uploading". This, however, is not true and has never been. Up til today there has never been a RFC proposing the usage of such named form field, nor has there been a browser actually checking its existance or content, or preventing anything. The PHP documentation implies that a browser may alert the user that his upload is too big - this is simply wrong.
Please note that using this PHP feature is not a good idea. A form field can easily be changed by the client. If you have to check the size of a file, do it conventionally within your script, using a script-defined integer, not an arbitrary number you got from the HTTP client (which always must be mistrusted from a security standpoint).

For a multifile upload try this:
<?php
foreach($_FILES as $file)
{
if($file['error'] == 0 && $file['size'] > 0)
{
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $targetdir.$file['name']);
}
}
?>

1. And what about multiple file upload ? - If there is an UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE error with multiple files - we can`t detect it normaly ? ...because that we have an array, but this error returns null and can`t use foreach. So, by having a multiple upload, we can`t normaly inform user about that.. we can just detect, that sizeof($_FILES["file"]["error"]) == 0 , but we can`t actualy return an error code. The max_file_size also is not an exit, becouse it refers on each file seperatly, but upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini refers to all files together. So, for example, if upload_max_filesize=8Mb , max_file_size = 7Mb and one of my files is 6.5Mb and other is 5Mb, it exeeds the upload_max_filesize - cant return an error, becouse we don`t know where to get that error.
Unfortunately we cannot get the file sizes on client side, even AJAX normaly can`t do that.
2. If in file field we paste something, like, D:\whatever , then there also isn`t an error to return in spite of that no such file at all.

if post is greater than post_max_size set in php.ini
$_FILES and $_POST will return empty
27-May-2005 02:28
This is probably useful to someone.
<?php
array(
0=>"There is no error, the file uploaded with success",
1=>"The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini",
2=>"The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form"
3=>"The uploaded file was only partially uploaded",
4=>"No file was uploaded",
6=>"Missing a temporary folder"
);
?>

I noticed that on PHP-4.3.2 that $_FILES can also not be set if the file uploaded exceeds the limits set by upload-max-filesize in the php.ini, rather than setting error $_FILES["file"]["error"]
28-Jan-2005 12:11
When $_FILES etc is empty like Dub spencer says in the note at the top and the error is not set, that might be because the form enctype isnt sat correctly. then nothing more than maybe a http server error happens.
enctype="multipart/form-data" works fine

Upload doesnt work, and no error?
actually, both $_FILES and $_REQUEST in the posted to script are empty?
just see, if "post_max_size" is lower than the data you want to load.
in the apache error log, there will be an entry like "Invalid method in request". and in the access log, there will be two requests: one for the POST, and another that starts with all "----" and produces a 501.

In regards to the dud filename being sent, a very simple way to check for this is to check the file size as well as the file name. For example, to check the file size simple use the size attribute in your file info array:
<?php
if($_FILES["file_id"]["size"] == 0)
{
// ...PROCESS ERROR
}
?>
