Not a valid image

[IrishGuru]

Hi Guys, I seen a few people with a simliar problem but no fix that works for me.

When trying to upload a file (2.1Mb) I get the "not a valid image file. I also get the error:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Filename cannot be empty in *******/******/components/com_phocagallery/file/fileupload.php on line 590

I am using 1.6 and RC4 atm.

Any questions please ask....

Thanks in advance

Hi, maybe you get some fatal error while uploading and e.g. the script return false there.

Where do you upload? Admin, Frontend. Single, Multiple or Java upload?

Frontend, single... both as admin and non

Update:

I have been playing about with this and found the following:

When uploading from the back office it creates a thumbnail, but when you click on it, it is blank and opens up and white "X" icon, the usual "not found" picture.
Any thoughts?

*****Update 2*****

When relogging into the back office, the thumbnail genertor kick started and now I can see the 2.1 Mb image on the front end. Still cannot upload from the frontend though.

Hi guys.....Update...Solved

Tried Java upload: fail
Tried changing php.ini : fail
Changing file size : fail

Contacted server hosts and they said they changed their php.ini? and all is working now.....strange. For all of you with the "Not a valid image" issue, try contacting your host and asking them to increase the size in their php.ini!

Maybe someone can shed some light on the fact that i changed mine in admin folder but they changed theirs?? Any way all sorted now and able to upload 3Mb files through the frontend.
