| Sep 29, 2014 at 14:29 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | Try retrieving the files object using $app->get('FILES'); and see if the var_dump contains the request data. | |
| Sep 28, 2014 at 21:03 | comment | added | Eric | Would anything need to change in the model for the upload functionality? | |
| Sep 27, 2014 at 15:26 | comment | added | Eric | I did a phpinfo() and it's set at 8M(see update) | |
| Sep 26, 2014 at 17:29 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | Back to your php.ini settings, what's the value for post_max_size? | |
| Sep 26, 2014 at 1:32 | comment | added | Eric | Do I need to define/declare the file being uploaded in any component XML or elsewhere? | |
| Sep 26, 2014 at 1:03 | comment | added | Eric | Still no luck, unfortunately | |
| Sep 25, 2014 at 23:56 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | Shot in the dark here, add a matching id attribute to the input with type file matching the name attribute of file_upload. Then try using JInput to get file and dumping variable again. | |
| Sep 25, 2014 at 23:46 | comment | added | Eric | When I do a print_r on $_POST though it shows the post data | |
| Sep 25, 2014 at 23:32 | comment | added | Eric | It says: file_uploads: on, max_file_uploads: 20, upload_max_filesize: 128m | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 23:38 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | Lol, then it sounds like a server or joomla configuration issue. In back end of joomla go to menu System > System Information and then select the PHP Information tab. Check your PHP setting for maximum post, file count and size upload. | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 23:34 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | What about if you var_dump the $_FILES array? | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 23:34 | comment | added | Eric | I'm also getting a NULL when I do a $_FILES['file_upload'] var_dump unfortunately | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 23:33 | comment | added | Eric | Thank you for your response, but I am getting a NULL when I do a var_dump on the JRequest $file you suggested at the top of your answer | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 20:27 | comment | added | Brian Bolli | Excellent observation, edited answer to start with something specific for OP's issue. | |

| Sep 23, 2014 at 19:55 | comment | added | David Fritsch | While this is probably a better coding practice for Joomla, I'm not sure it helps at all with why he can't get the file information. | |
