What Do These Errors mean When Trying To Upload Video File? - arrays

Question

The following is my php script for you to upload video files (max 100MB) to my server.
Problem is, it uploads one mp4 file without any problems. But when I try uploading others it gives these errors.
When I try uploading "T.J. Hooker (1982) - Season 1 OPENING.mp4" which is 2.57MB, I get this error:
array(1) { ["id_verification_video_file"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=>
string(41) "T.J. Hooker (1982) - Season 1 OPENING.mp4" ["type"]=>
string(0) "" ["tmp_name"]=> string(0) "" ["error"]=> int(1) ["size"]=>
int(0) } } Array ( [id_verification_video_file] => Array ( [name] => T.J.
Hooker (1982) - Season 1 OPENING.mp4 [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 1
[size] => 0 ) )
Q1. What does this error mean ?
When I try uploading another file "Taekwondo vs Jeet Kune Do.mp4" which is 9.32MB, I get the following error:
"array(0) { } Upload your video file".
Q2. Why am I getting line 17 triggered when I am trying to upload a video (mp4) file ?
Line 17:
if(!isset($_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]))
{
echo "Upload your video file";
exit;
}

Q4. How to solve these issues ? I mean, if the script code is not buggy and manages to upload one mp4 file then it should be able to upload other mp4 files too without showing errors.

Answer 1

Problem solved. The .ini file was restricting the file size.
