upload file using form?

[Anon]

Hello,
I am trying to find help/article/etc on doing a simple task, I hope.

Task:
I want to give the user a form where they can select a file on their computer (will be gif or jpeg).

I want to be able to take the chosen file and store it in my server IE /home/files/

I want to read the files height,width,size as well to make sure items too large are not loaded. Which I can code once I figure out how to get this data into variables.

Thanks!!

It's very well explained in the PHP manual;

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

vars created by php are:

$img
$img_name
$img_size
$img_type
and $HTTP_POST_FILES array

to upload use functions:
is_uploaded_file()
move_uploaded_file()

some check should be performed too

more from the manual
