Hello,
The file manager doesn't seem to like zero byte files. It's not possible to upload such a file (Seems to be an issue with boolean 0 (= false) or 0 as figure).

Expected result: Upload the file despite having zero byte as filesize.

Actual result: reload and nothing has changed (no file added)

forum affected: 2.6.0 stable

This has nothing to do with FUDforum. You won't be able to upload 0 byte files with PHP either (outside of FUDforum).

I didn't know about that limitation of PHP. How about a facility to create a new zero byte file as a substitute? Just like we'd do with "touch xy.z" on the shell. Then it wouldn't matter if uploading doesn't work.

In all honesty I don't see much use in 0 byte files. If you want to create those just add it manually. PHP already has a touch() function so this should not be difficult to implement.

This was just a suggestion, nothing more. I know how to implement such things, but that wasn't the issue (else I'd chose a different category and would ask how to perform such a task)
