$result = move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['$showpic'], '/home/keith/public_html/images/showpics/$filename']);
$result = $result ? "true" : "false";
echo "<br>move_uploaded_file(): $result";

Hi,

I suppose it is at the end: You have a ] standing there, which I suppose should not be there.

the second eye works again... thanks however there is another problem i now get

move_uploaded_file(): falseFailed to Upload

any idea what the problem is.?

$result = move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['$showpic'], '/home/keith/public_html/images/showpics/$filename');
$result = $result ? "true" : "false";
echo "<br>move_uploaded_file(): $result";
if ($result == "false")
{
die("Failed to Upload");
}

is the upload script and

<form action="gallery-add-picture-process.php" method="post" name="form1">
		  <p><strong>		  Show Year:</strong>
	          <input name="showyear" type="text" id="showyear">
</p>
		  <p><strong>Description: 
		    <input name="description" type="text" id="description" size="50">
		  </strong></p>
		  <p><strong>Select Picture: 
		    <input type="file" name="showpic">

is the form - the submit button.

Thanks again

Hi,

It has to do with the structure of HTTP_POST_FILES array. I use $_FILES myself, and there the array has multiple dimensions:

$old_name = $FILES[file][name];
$server_file_name = $FILES[file][tmp_name];

AND in an array the showpic doesn't take a $ : It is not a variable, but a pointer.
So in your case that would be -I htink: I do not know the structure of HTTP_POST_FILES, try:
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS); to get the structure ):

$old_name  = $HTTP_POST_FILES[showpic][name];
$server_file_name = $HTTP_POST_FILES[showpic][tmp_name];


move_uploaded_file($server_file_name, '/home/keith/public_html/images/showpics/$filename')

$server = "/home/keith/public_html/images/showpics/".$filename;

$old_name  = $_FILES[showpic][name]; 
$server_file_name = $_FILES[showpic][tmp_name]; 


move_uploaded_file($server_file_name, $server);

I still cant get this to upload... sorry but i know its me... but i just cant make it work.

Dir is blank after trying to upload file and i ihave no error messages?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you check the HTTP_POST_FILE array as suggested? Then you can see what is actually pased to the script, and adapt your script to that array structure

I am not familiar with hte old HTTP_POST_FILE command. Perhaps you need to use the $_FILE[]? (Did you check the online reference on this site for versions/command?

Unfortunately, here it is already way past 1 am, and I have to call it a night..

I have attatched the script I wrote/adapted for managing uploads for a symposium website. Perhaps it helps?
Good luck!

Attatched this time??

Hi,

Just noticed somethinf..
You form tag..
add:

enctype=\"multipart/form-data\"

to it.. Don't know, but that might just be the thing.. (It was a long time ago tha tI figured this one out, and now I am just re-using the working script...)
