### Immediate Fix (2 minutes):

1. **Run Diagnostics:**
   ```
   Visit: yoursite.com/project-planner/test_upload.php

## Testing the Fix

### Test Scenario 1: New Installation
1. Fresh install the application
2. Run test_upload.php
3. If uploads/ folder missing, create it (commands provided in diagnostic)
4. Test upload sample_workplan.csv
5. Verify tasks imported successfully

### Test Scenario 2: Existing Installation with Issues
1. Run test_upload.php
2. Identify specific issue (permissions, size limit, etc.)
3. Apply suggested fix
4. Re-test until all checks show "OK"
5. Upload actual workplan

### Test Scenario 3: File Too Large
1. Check current limit in test_upload.php
2. Add to .htaccess:
   ```apache
   php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
   php_value post_max_size 20M
   ```
3. Refresh test_upload.php to verify new limit
4. Upload file

## Common Issues & Solutions

### Issue: "uploads/ folder doesn't exist"
**Fix:** `mkdir uploads && chmod 755 uploads`

### Issue: "Permission denied"
**Fix:** `chmod 755 uploads` (or 775 if 755 doesn't work)

### Issue: "File too large"
**Fix:** Edit .htaccess to increase limits

### Issue: "Excel files won't upload"
**Fix:** Convert to CSV format (recommended)

### Issue: "Upload works but import fails"
**Fix:** Check CSV format matches sample_workplan.csv

## User Workflow

### Creating New Project with Workplan:
1. Dashboard → New Project
2. Fill in project details
3. Upload CSV file (or skip)
4. If upload fails, project still created

### Adding Tasks to Existing Project:
**Option A - Upload:**
1. Project page → "Upload Tasks" button
2. Select CSV file
3. Upload imports all tasks

**Option B - Manual:**
1. Project page → "Add Task" button
2. Fill form for each task

**Option C - Diagnostic if issues:**
1. Run test_upload.php
2. Fix identified issues
3. Return to upload

## Support Path

If upload still doesn't work after trying all solutions:

1. ✅ Run test_upload.php - capture all status messages
2. ✅ Check error_log on server
3. ✅ Enable DEBUG_MODE in config.php
4. ✅ Try sample_workplan.csv (smallest file)
5. ✅ Contact hosting provider with specific error messages
6. ✅ Fallback: Use manual task entry

## Technical Details

### Upload Handling Process:

1. **File Received:**
   - Form submits with multipart/form-data
   - PHP processes $_FILES array
   - File temporarily stored in upload_tmp_dir

2. **Validation:**
   - Check file error code
   - Verify file size under limits
   - Check file extension
   - Validate MIME type

3. **Storage:**
   - Generate unique filename
   - Move to uploads/ directory
   - Record in file_uploads table

4. **Parsing (CSV):**
   - Read file line by line
   - Map column headers intelligently
   - Extract task data
   - Insert into tasks table

5. **Result:**
   - Success: Show task count, redirect to project
   - Failure: Show specific error, keep project, allow retry

### Error Codes Handled:

- `UPLOAD_ERR_OK` (0) - Success
- `UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE` (1) - File exceeds upload_max_filesize
- `UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE` (2) - File exceeds form MAX_FILE_SIZE
- `UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL` (3) - File partially uploaded
- `UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE` (4) - No file uploaded
- `UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR` (6) - Missing temp directory
- `UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE` (7) - Write to disk failed
- `UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION` (8) - PHP extension stopped upload

---

## Success Criteria

Upload is working when:

✅ test_upload.php shows all green "OK" status
✅ Test file uploads successfully
✅ sample_workplan.csv imports tasks correctly
✅ No error messages during project creation
✅ Imported tasks appear in project view
✅ Can upload multiple times to same project
