$_GET Variable

Large

Hi guys,

Please help if you can !

I have the following bit of code in an uploader script I'm making :

<?php

$file = $GET[file];
$filename = $GET[name];

copy ("$file", "C:\apache\htdocs\$filename");

?>

<html>
<head> <title>Test</title> </head>
<body>

<ul>
<li>File : <?php echo "$filename has been copied !"; ?>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

The info is sent from an HTML form.

Obviously $file = the path and filename but I want $filename to equal just the filename not the path as well.

I used to use file_name how do I get the filename using $_GET or am I just getting confused, please explain someone !

Kind regards

Large ( aka Andy )

take a look here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

$_GET is used to grab the variables out of the url. I'm assuming your form method is also set to GET??

What I'd do is change your method to POST on your form, then access the filename using

$_FILES['userfile']['name']

where userfile is the name of the file input on your form. For example
