Uploading file error

[pablodelapena]

I have NO idea why this won't work?!

<?php

$direc = "icons/".$_SESSION['MCuserID']."$extension";


if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['icon'], $direc)) {

$query = "UPDATE userinfo SET icondir='$direc' WHERE username='".$_SESSION['MCuserID']."'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
CheckMySQL();

echo "<b>Icon Uploaded successfully!</b><p>";

} else {
	echo "Error.";
}

?>

I constantly get the error result and no file uploaded.

take a look at the man page for [man]copy[/man] and [man]move_uploaded_file[/man], there are ways to grab file information like

$FILES['nameoffield']['tmp_name'] //the temp name of the file til its moved
$FILES['nameoffield']['name'] //the real name of the file
$FILES['nameoffield']['type'] //the type of file, ie. image/jpeg
$FILES['nameoffield']['size'] //the size of the file

usually i do either copy of move_uploaded_file like

copy($FILES['nameoffield]['tmp_name'], "/path/to/copy/to/" . $FILES['nameoffield]['name']);

or something like that

I see, But is there anyway of renaming the file during the move?

[stolzyboy]

sure is, take a look at the [man]rename[/man]...

i just normally save it as it is, then i know what it's called for sure, then run the rename on it right afterwards, that way you can check for extensions, etc...
