PHP Can't Seem to Upload

[fitzuk]

Hey,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I am editing the etc/php.ini

I have also tried adding a php.ini in the root off the domain directory setting the values. I am pretty sure I am editing the correct file as I created a simple phpinfo file and the values I changed were updated within that.

Not sure what you mean by directory structure, I have kept it pretty standard.

The values I set are (just to be sure):

upload_max_filesize = 250M
post_max_size = 250M
max_execution_time = 300

I created a simple php upload script outside of any CMS & its almost like it thinks the file is empty or not an image.

Warning: getimagesize(): Filename cannot be empty in . . .

But inside Joomla, it thinks the files are not images by saying "vmError: Sorry,It's not a valid media file"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
