What I want to do is this:

I have a form and is has a field for a file, I want the php script to upload the file if they selected one, but if they didn't continue on with the rest of the script.

how do i go about this?

Here is the code I tried:

if ($prog != "") {
copy("$prog", "/home/geekcha/public_html/incoming/join/".$prog_name)
or die("Couldn't copy the file!");
}
else {
continue;
}

but that returned this error:

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 levels in /home/geekcha/public_html/php/join.php on line 8

the continue; doesn't need to be there. What continue does is to abort the current iteration of a loop, returning to the start of the loop. You're not in a loop, so saying "continue" is meaningless.

Just drop the whole else{continue;} bit.

Just check in the script what's the name of the file which was uploaded. If the name is "none", no file was uploaded.

Example:

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="new_submit.php" method="post">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000">
<INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">

In the next script (new_submit.php) you ask for the filename:

if ($userfile=="none") {echo "No files were uploaded !"; }
