php script for uploading files

[Anon]

Guys, would you help me ?

If I need to upload a file from the visitor of my site, I have to use a form with ACTION=/cgi-bin/script_name.cgi enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" method post.

So I need to find this CGI script somewhere and understand how it works. Usually this script is on Perl. I know some Perl, but I prefer not to have it (we have a real fight here between Perl and PHP programmers. And I am under fire because I prefer PHP, which is a \"weak, full of bugs language\").

So my question is if it\'s possible to write PHP script for processing files being upload. If the answer is yes, what does this script do? What\'s the idea?

Because this is a part, I do not understand. I get the path on the hard drive/file name, then press the button and form transfers this value (as a variable probably) to some other page. How to get the file? 🙂

read the section in the php manual that says handling file uploads. It's right on the front page when you click the docs tab. Please try the manual before asking questions most of your questions can be answered quicker there and without waiting for someone to answer your post.
