phpinfo();

open it in your browser and look for this “upload_max_filesize” without the Quotes and it will tell you..

You *need* double equals signs (“==”) otherwise you are telling php what a variable is supposed to hold in a string, integer, etc… Unless you need boolean support, then you use three equals signs (“===”).

So you were right about the exclamation point, but you needed to equals signs so it says “If file name isn’t equal to nothing”.

An easier and faster way to go about doing it could also be this–

if(is_empty($file_name)){
doThis();
}

You can contact me if by the email address I used if you have any questions about what I’ve said. I’ve just woken up so I’m not sure how clear I’m being.
