"Can't create the temporary file. Can't carry on a process" new!

Hello,

Sorry for my bad english but I have a problem and I don't understand why.

If I up small images I have no error but if my image is bigger than 1,5Mo... "Can't create the temporary file. Can't carry on a process".

My php.ini is configured like this :
php_value memory_limit = 40M
upload_max_filesize = 4M
post_max_size = 30M
max_execution_time = 60

Thanks for your helpReply

I assume that you are using version 0.25.

Can you copy here the output from $foo->log? Also, do you have a link to a phpinfo() on your server?Reply

I think you just call $ foo->Clean (), and then trying to access the file. Check the code.Reply

I'm bumping this thread as it's one of the topresults on Google when searching for this exact error. For me it was caused by a wrongly structured files array when using the codeexample for multifile upload (found under the faq). I was simply to fast when "stealing" the snippet and doing some cleanup (ie. adding curly-brackets to the IF block), and assumed that the two lines just after the IF block belonged to that scope - as it was indented as such. At last I found that this was not true - only the first line is a result of a true statement.

Maybe the faq could be updated to not have an indent on the line "$files[$i][$k] = $v;" or maybe add some brackets. I know that only the first line after the IF sentence will be executed if true and no brackets are put in, but maybe I'm not the only one, who has been banging my head for hours on this error.

Other than that - Wow! This is a nice class!Reply

Thank you for your feedback. I have updated the code snipped in the FAQ, as it was indeed confusing.Reply
