Uploading files (HTML FORM)

[Langridge]

Hi, I am just starting with PHP and I am trying to run an upload script that takes an img file and stores it on my host ftp.

I have tried many many scripts from different places on the web and have yet to find one that works for me.

This is the script I am currently trying:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="imagefile">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<?
if(isset( $Submit ))
{
//If the Submitbutton was pressed do:

if ($FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/gif"){
copy ($FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "files/".$FILES['imagefile']['name'])

or die ("Could not copy");
echo "";

echo "Name: ".$FILES['imagefile']['name']."";

echo "Size: ".$FILES['imagefile']['size']."";

echo "Type: ".$FILES['imagefile']['type']."";

echo "Copy Done....";

}
else {
echo "";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].")";
}
}
?> </form>

When I click Submit, nothing happens, it just refreshes the form.

Note: I want to be able to upload to the /images/upload/ directory.

I would really appreciate help on this as I am completely lost.

• Code examples would be very helpful as well.

Thanks
Andrew

You are trying to use $Submit, which doesn't exist. Most likely, you do not have register_globals set to on. Try using $_POST["submit"] instead of $Submit. Also, you might want to fill in the action="" field on the form.

This might be a littel too late but try doing the following:

Add the $PHP_SELF or the filename (i.e. fileupload.php -- if that's the name of the file that has your code snippet) to the action attribute of the <FORM> tag.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="fileupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 

Hope this helps.
