Image Uploading

[binarylime]

All,

I am trying to devise a PHP webpage that allows the user to upload an image. My intention is that when the press a button called "Upload Image", a file navigator similar to Internet Explorer or Netscape will allow them to navigate their harddrive to pick which image to upload.

Once they select the image, they press "Send" and obviously, the PHP takes the image and saves it to a pre-determined directory.

Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid using froms where the user has to type in the literal path of the image... ie <input type="text" name="damn_file_name_and_path" size=200>...

Just curious if anyone had any links to some good tutorials.

Thanks,

Jesse

try this :

<input type="file" name="ad_photo">

[binarylime]

yeah, i figured <form encap-method-blahblah="mimeblah-formdata" method="post" action="saveimage.php"> <input type="file" name="datafile"> then inside my saveimage.php script, i exec (cp $saveimage /localpath/$saveimage_filename") ... and it worked like a charm.

thanks for the help, though!

binarylime,

check out examples for file uploading here:

I believe that you code works fine, but it's better to code things nice and neat.
