File uploads and downloads

[Anon]

I'm new to php and need a bit of help. Basically I wanna be able to allow users to upload/download files to or from my webserver. The thing is I've found plenty of tutorials on how to do it using the post function in explorer etc. but I could never understand all of it. Could someone please come up with a working script so I can see how it works and experiment with it in order to understand.

The upload_tmp_dir of my webserver = "/tmp"

Thanx

do this... ($picture is the variable which comes from the field named picture, and contains the full path to the clients picture)... ($username ensures that when the picture is uploaded, the file is named uniquely... you see, it is best, to change the name of the file when you upload it to your sever --> $username will ususally come from a database, or be some other primary key variable)

// upload picture =============================================================//

$username = "lordd";

	if(strlen($picture)>4) 
	{ 
			$fileName = $username . ".jpg"; 
			copy ($picture, "tmp/$fileName") or die ( "Couldn't copy image 1!" );
			$picture = $fileName;
	}

www.hotscripts.com has quite a few examples which you can generally work through and understand with a little time, I know theres definately ones there for this type of thing.
