How do you output the type of $_FILE error with PHP?

Question

I keep on getting this error when uploading an image with PHP. I know how to count the number of errors:

$file = $_FILES["file"];
echo $file_error = $file["error"];

How do I echo the type of error with PHP?

@Fred-ii- Thank you! I thought $file_error referred to the # of errors, not the type of error. Do you know how I can change the max file size in php.ini? — , Jan 06 '16 at 17:00

Have a read through the manuals, it's all in there.

Plus, for your other question in comments:

"Do you know how I can change the max file size in php.ini?"

Consult the following on Stack:

and in the manual on Description of core php.ini directives of course.
