O.P. PHP Help, file upload
Hey everyone, I have been trying to write a File Upload script for a site I am doing but I can't seem to find a working script.
If anyone could help me out that would be great. I have even tried ones on PSCode but they don't work. Here is the infor for the server that it will be on.

RE: PHP Help, file upload
you just need a <input type="file"/ name="myFile"> input field and then an autoglobal array $_FILES['myFile'] will be available. This array has a second dimension with following keys:
name - the name of the uploaded file with extension
type - the filetype ( mime type)
size - amount of bytes of the file
tmp_name - absolute path to the temporary file (its name is random)
The rest (storing to a folder, uploading to a database, showing the file) goes to your imagination. 
If you need some more help, just tell us. |

RE: PHP Help, file upload
An example of a correct form:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="_URL_" method="post">
It's very important that you put that bolded part.  Else, it won't work.
More info here.

RE: PHP Help, file upload
I made a file upload script the other day, it's about 100 lines. If you want me to send you it contact me on MSN Messenger, Matty.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |

RE: PHP Help, file upload

RE: PHP Help, file upload
I'd probably do something like this...
code:
$types = array("image/gif", "image/pjpeg", "image/bmp", "video/mpeg", "video/x-msvideo", "image/png", "application/x-shockwave-flash");
if(in_array($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['type'], $types)) {

Isn't it better to use $_FILES?

Yeah, unless your version of PHP is ancient. I didn't use it because the original code didn't use it.  |
