How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?

None. There’s nothing wrong with that light bulb. There is no need to change anything. We made the right decision and nothing has happened to change our minds. People who criticize this light bulb now, just because it doesn’t work anymore, supported us when we first screwed it in, and when these flip-floppers insist on saying that it is burned out, they are merely giving aid and encouragement to the Forces of Darkness.

Credit goes to John Cleese.

PEAR HTML_QuickForm and file upload rules

NOTE: This has been fixed in HTML_QuickForm version 3.2.4.

If you are working with the PHP PEAR package HTML_QuickForm and file uploads and you are registering rules for both “maxfilesize” and “uploadedfile” then you might be puzzled by some errors you might receive like I was. Let me see if I can explain this plainly.

An important component is your php.ini setting for “upload_max_filesize”. If this is smaller than your setting for “maxfilesize” then if you upload a file that is larger than the “upload_max_filesize” you will NEVER encounter the “maxfilesize” error you set for QuickForm. You will instead receive the “uploadedfile” error because, I’m guessing here, PHP is discarding the file that is too large and therefore QuickForm thinks there isn’t a file. I’ve put together this little example to explain.

Uploaded filesize upload_max_filesize = 20MB / QF Rule maxfilesize = 10MB upload_max_filesize = 10MB / QF Rule maxfilesize = 20MB
5 MB success success
15 MB

Error: maxfilesize

Reason: filesize larger than maxfilesize but less than upload_max_filesize

Error: uploadedfile

Reason: filesize larger than upload_max_filesize

25 MB

Error: uploadedfile

Reason: filesize larger than upload_max_filesize

Error: uploadedfile

Reason: filesize larger than upload_max_filesize

What was puzzling me was when I uploaded a file larger than PHP would let me, I thought I’d get the maxfilesize error but instead I kept getting the uploadedfile error. And the uploadedfile error only returns what you tell it to return so I was telling myself what I was telling the form.

I think QuickForm should be smart enough about the maxfilesize to indicate when a programmer has specified a larger maxfilesize than PHP will allow but I’m not quite sure how that should be done. Should the form automatically adjust itself to the php.ini setting or throw a PHP error? Personally, I’d rather QF automatically adjust itself. We’ll see what the package owners think.
