File Uploads

[drawmack]

I am attempting to upload files to my server. I do not have access to modify the php.ini or httpconf files except through the use of ini_set.

Here are the relevent values as reported to me by phpinfo

file_uploads = on
upload_max_filesize = 8mb
upload_tmp_dir = no value

Here are the important parts of my xhtml form:

<form action="/admin/mcgFiles.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" VALUE="4294967296" />
  <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" class="adminFrame" width="501">
    <tr>
      <td align="right" class="adminCell"><b>
        Upload File*
      </b></td>
      <td align="left" class="adminCell">
        <input type="file" name"Contents" class="adminInput" />
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2" align="center" class="adminCell">
        <input type="submit" name="ActionBtn" value="Add Record" class="adminInput" />   &nbsp;
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

then at the top of the processing script (immediatly after all my includes and printing the template header I do this)
print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
echo "<br>\n";
print_r($_FILES);
echo "<br>\n";

both arrays are empty. How can I get the file upload to work without access to php.ini in order to change the upload_tmp_dir setting?

here is the little bit of code that I use to upload files. it works rather well.

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'])) {
  $picture = $_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'];
  $realname = $_FILES['pic']['name'];
  $path = basename($realname, ".jpg");
  mkdir($path, 0777);
  chdir($path);
  copy($_FILES['pic']['tmp_name'], "./".$realname);
  $realname = $path."/".$realname;
}

the lines starting with $path, mkdir, and chdir are not necessary. Those are just specific to my page.

this will return false because my $_FILES array is empty which means the file is not coming up to the server from the client. Other file upload pages I have on the same server are working, so I'm stumped but I feel it's probably somehwere in the html.

found the error

on the file field in xhtml I had name"Contents" instead of name="Contents"
