Document upload error #7

Taylor_Noble · November 12, 2018, 11:35pm

Hi there,

I am trying to upload a PDF to Documents for a patient and I am recieving a message “Error number: 7 occurred while uploading file named: September 24, 2018 (xxxxxxxxx).pdf
The system does not permit uploading files of with size 0.” The file is stored in a shared storage device. I copied from the shared server to desktop and uploaded from the Desktop and got the same error message.

The file is 11 KBs. The document upload has worked today with other PDFs of the same size.

Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Error 7 for $_FILES in php means that there is some sort of write permission.

Here is part of the code it seems you’re triggering:

github.com

openemr/openemr/blob/master/controllers/C_Document.class.php#L141


foreach ($_FILES['file']['name'] as $key => $value) {
    $fname = $value;
    $error = "";
    if ($_FILES['file']['error'][$key] > 0 || empty($fname) || $_FILES['file']['size'][$key] == 0) {
        $fname = $value;
        if (empty($fname)) {
            $fname = htmlentities("<empty>");
        }
        $error = xl("Error number") . ": " . $_FILES['file']['error'][$key] . " " . xl("occurred while uploading file named") . ": " . $fname . "\n";
        if ($_FILES['file']['size'][$key] == 0) {
            $error .= xl("The system does not permit uploading files of with size 0.") . "\n";
        }
    } elseif ($GLOBALS['secure_upload'] && !isWhiteFile($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key])) {
        $error = xl("The system does not permit uploading files with MIME content type") . " - " . mime_content_type($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key]) . ".\n";
    } else {
        // Test for a zip of DICOM images
        if (stripos($_FILES['file']['type'][$key], 'zip') !== false) {
            $za = new ZipArchive();
            $handler = $za->open($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key]);
            if ($handler) {
                $mimetype = "application/dicom+zip";

Anyone else have any ideas?
