ftp_put problem

[farberama]

I'm trying to create a script which allows a user to ftp an image file from the user's local hard drive to the server. I'm using ftp_put and everything works except the file is always 0kb.

The user filles out a form that look in part like the following:

<form action="editInventoryX.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
...
<input name="imageBigURL" type="file" size="32">
...
</form>

There are several other input items, but they have nothing to do with the image to be ftp'ed.

If I try to echo it to the browser, $POST["imageBigURL"] is alway empty. So is $FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'].

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm guessing you got

$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']. 

out of the manual... I had the same confusion!!

try

$_FILES['imageBigURL']['tmp_name']. 

If you go back to the example in the manual, you'll notice that userfile is the name of the file field in their example form a few lines higher.

Once we know that's that bit of code is working, we'll go on to the next problem 🙂

hope that starts you off,
