browse button

djkanebo

is it possible to do this in php?

I want a browse button so that i can navigate for example to c:/temp/a_folder/file.txt

When this file is double clicked on, I want the file uploaded to an area that I will specify

can anyone help, anyone done this before?

use a simple HTML-Form with
<input type="file" name="up_file" size="20">

"file" will generate a browse-button

further info > php.net docs / features / fileupload
you'll find examples there

This code is giving me the following errors

Warning: Unable to create 'http://kenbane.infc.ulst.ac.uk/~**/a.txt': No such file or directory in /home/deg4/**/public_html/upload.php on line 10

Warning: Unable to move '/tmp/phpMYQoom' to 'http://kenbane.infc.ulst.ac.uk/~**/a.txt' in /home/deg4/**/public_html/upload.php on line 10

I have openend permissions on folder at this location... can anyone help???

instead of using the full path name (http..) use a relative
path
for example: upload.php is situated in "scripts/", you want
the file in "scripts/files/" then use just "./files/"

or "scripts/upload.php"
and files in "files" then use "../files/"

what if i want to move a file from the local C drive onto the web?

djkanebo

got this working with what u said but now it says good as echoed in the code...
however the file is not at the uploaded area??

can you help?

ir4z0r

are you sure? sometimes the file you want to upload is to big,
2megs are the usual limit

try replacing move_upl.() with copy(), just for debugging purposes

or search in your other folders for the file

u r a genius man!! the file was too big... go it sussed now

thanx a million! ;-)
