Upload Function - A server error occurred while uploading the file

akp982

While trying to use the upload function for images with DataTables 1.8 I'm getting the below PHP error which I can't seem to work out the cause off.

Has anyone seen this before / got any thoughts on how to fix?

It's to do with my validator statements. I've managed to turn them comment them out and move onto the next issue for now

Hi @akp982 ,

That looks OK with the validator statements. The only thing I can think of is whether you didn't include the full list of use so Validate is unknown. Take a look at the "Server Script" tab on this page here - it would be worth comparing to your script.

Hope that does the trick,

Cheers,

Colin
