[Resolved] ftp_put() problem

[mevasquez]

Having problem with this code. I know the filename from the form element becomes a temporary file but how do I convert it to the original file name. Here is what I have so far:

The form:

<form method="post" action="upload.php?action=upload" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="ulfile" type="file"  size="45">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

The ftp_put code:

$ftp_server="localhost";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server!");
$ftp_user="username";
$ftp_pass="******";

if(@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)){
   ftp_chdir($conn_id, "path/to/directory");
   $sourcefile = $ulfile;
   $destinationfile = basename($ulfile);
   $upload=ftp_put($conn_id, $destinationfile, $sourcefile, FTP_ASCII);
      if(!$upload){
         echo "FTP upload has failed!";
      }else{
         echo "Uploaded $ulfile successfully!";
      }
 }	
ftp_quit($conn_id);

What is uploaded is a file named something like "php294ljf" and not the actual file name.
I have tried using $_FILES but I quite don't understand how to use it.

instead of this

$sourcefile = $ulfile;

try this

$sourcefile = $_FILES['ulfile']['name'];

Also, found out if I did this

$destinationfile = basename($ulfile_name);

$destination file contains the original file name.

Thanks,
