Im re-rolling a validation class built for checking login/register forms to be used in place of a paper upload form. I copied the syntax, and re-created a new function explicitly for checking papers. My problem now is that its not working, and there are no clear signs as to why. Im checking PHP error.log and its not showing anything out of the ordinary.
Heres my upload.php with the form, and PHP code:
<?php
require 'core/init.php';
$user = new User();
$user->protect();
$_error = false;
$_papererror = false;
if (Input::exists()) {
if (Token::check(Input::get('token'))) {
//print_r($_FILES['paper']);
$validate = new Validate();
$papervalidate = new Validate();
$validation = $validate->check($_POST, array(
'papername' => array('required' => true, 'max' => 50)
));
$papervalidation = $papervalidate->checkPaper($_FILES, array(
'paper' => array('required' => true, 'type' => Input::get('paper')['type'])
));
if($validation->passed() && $papervalidation->passed()) {
// handle upload, and then redirection
echo "Success";
} else {
$_error = true;
}
}
}
?>

/*

And using Console.app on my mac viewing the apache2 error.log shows no errors when trying to upload a pair of any format.
Ive tried changing the $_FILES path to be less dynamic, and more static since this is the only upload form that needs to be validated.
