File Upload

fumanshu

I've spent all day on this and I fear I don't know enough about how file uploads work to fix this.

All I'm trying to do is detect wether a file has been uploaded or not in a form that sends info to a PHP page.

if file uploaded, it uploads it onto the server and enters the value in the db. So far - no problem.

HOWEVER, when I leave the file field blank and click on Submit, I keep getting an error:

"Warning: Unable to open 'none' for reading:" - I have placed an if statement to check for this but it get's ignored:

if ($_FILES['photo_1'] != "")

{

copy($FILES['photo_1']['tmp_name'], "/home/photos/".$FILES['photo_1']['name']);

}

else { echo "no photo to upload";}

This should work - but it doesn't!! can anyone advise???

Try this:
if(is_uploaded_file($FILES['photo_1'])
{
copy($FILES['photo_1']['tmp_name'], "/home/photos/".$_FILES['photo_1']['name']);
}
else
{
echo "no photo to upload";
}

It depends on the version you're using, but here's a snippet of code I have used in 4.2.2:

<?
    $lob_upload = $_FILES["lob_upload"]["name"];
    if (empty($lob_upload) || $lob_upload == 'none') {
        print("<form action=\"{$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]}\" method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>\n");
        print("<input type=\"file\" name=\"lob_upload\">&nbsp;&nbsp;\n");
        print("<input type=submit value=\"Upload File\">\n");
        print("</form>\n");
    } else {
        // Code to handle the upload goes here
    }
?>

Here's a link to a complete version of the file upload handler I submitted earlier:

It's specific to Oracle, but it should get you going in the right direction.
