File Uploads

Ok, I am having trouble figuring this out.

I need a simple (at least I hope simple) way to upload files from a user to my webserver.

I know someone will say this is unsafe- but I need it to support any type of file of any size. Just trust me, I have reasons for this, and it won't be around all that long anyway...

I tried an example I found in the code library here, but it only supported images, and I couldn't figure out how to change that.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

I have included some sample code for you below... It is a VERY basic example and keep in mind you need the right permissions on the directory you are copying to.

Script 1 - The Form (Name it whatever you like):

<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="upload.php">
Please select the file you wish to upload<br>
<input type="file" name="file">
</form>
</body>

===================================================

Script 2 - Receive the file and do something with it!

<?php
$path = '<path here you want the file to go>'; // For Example /home/webserver/www/uploads
If ($file_name) {
@copy($file, "$path/$file_name");
@unlink($file);
echo "File Received!";
} else {
echo "File not Received!";
}
?>
