php upload: zip files

Question

Why can't I get the .zip as type and its size through an uploading form but only can get its name only?

Array
(
    [file] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => attachments_2011_05_20.zip
                )

            [type] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 
                )

            [tmp_name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 
                )

            [error] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                )

            [size] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 0
                )

        )

)

Something extra should I do to get the zip size and type?

Additional to the answers below: the data provided in `$_FILES` also depends on what the client sends. [Better to check the file-type on the server, using PHP](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/457797/best-way-to-recognize-a-filetype-in-php). — feeela, Aug 18 '11 at 16:40

Your error code is 1, which means means "file is too large" - your upload_max_filesize setting is too low, so the upload is being aborted.

Thanks. I have increased the size of `upload_max_filesize` and it works fine now. – Run Aug 18 '11 at 16:45
