"Empty file upload result" Despite Upload Working and Returning Result

[Dave Rogers]

I'm using PHP (YES GD is installed, YES upload is on, YES upload file size is 20mb and I'm NOT uploading anything bigger than half a megabyte at this point) - specifically Codeigniter using this user-created script except for the view. I'm not using anything with thumbnails so I just set the thumbnail_url key to the image itself. The upload is successful (image ends up in the correct folder) and it returns the following JSON:

[{"name":"lolzwat1.JPG","size":2017.94,"type":"image\/jpeg","url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/uploads\/lolzwat1.JPG","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/uploads\/lolzwat1.JPG","delete_url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/upload\/deleteImage\/lolzwat1.JPG","delete_type":"DELETE"}]

What is jQuery-File-Upload expecting in return that isn't listed here? main.js is set to dataType json, so it should be looking for this result.

Try to return {"files":[{"name":"lolzwat1.JPG","size":2017.94,"type":"image\/jpeg","url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/uploads\/lolzwat1.JPG","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/uploads\/lolzwat1.JPG","delete_url":"http:\/\/www.krashdrive.dev\/upload\/deleteImage\/lolzwat1.JPG","delete_type":"DELETE"}]}

That takes me 1 day to figure it out and I don't know why this "little" change is not documented or I missed something :/

Thanks! That worked :)

Hello,

In which part of the code may I apply this modification ?

[Deyan Stoinov]

Your JSON result after uploading the file/s must be 

{

    files:[ {file1}, {file2} .....  ]

Thanks a lot !!! It finally works !!

You saved my day ;-)

Sorry to ask this, but how do you that ?

[Deyan Stoinov]

What do you mean ?

[Andrei Onel]

Thanks for the quick response.

So I'm trying the codeigniter example from github page
https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/jQuery-File-Upload-6.5-with-CodeIgniter-2.1

And I'm getting this error: Empty file upload result

So I thought that Dave's problem was similar to mine.
My controller sends back this response:

            $info->name = $name;
            $info->size = $data['file_size'];
            $info->type = $data['file_type'];
            $info->url = $this->getPath_img_upload_folder() . $name;
            $info->delete_url = $this->getDelete_img_url() . $name;
            $info->delete_type = 'DELETE';

            echo json_encode(array($info));

And I can't understand why in the world is giving me that error. I've done exactly as it is written on the site.
Why doesn't it recognizes the json response ?

I don't know how to code it but the wrap entire array in other object with single property 'files' => { files: arrayWithFiles }

Thanks again for the info.

So if anyone is having problems with json response of the Codeigniter installation from github (getting the " Empty file upload result" error), try to replace

echo json_encode(array($info));

With this

            echo json_encode(array('files' => array($info) ));

It worked in my case.

Thanks this works for me!
