Form's with PHP Upload

benbox

Hi there,

I have some php code that work's, however I have an issue with the form that submits the file to it.

The php code uses the copy() function, so requires the form to have enctype="multipart/form-data", which works using the Mozilla Browser but in IE it returns "Zero Error" after a while. Other times it just hangs on the progress bar.

Does anyone know why this might be? if so, could you help me please as I am really baffled why this isnt working.

Many thanks for any help,
Ben

try this code

<?php
if(isset($file)) {

if (is_uploaded_file($file))
{
$filename=$file_name;
@copy($file,$filename) or die("not able to upload the file");

}

}
?>

Hi there,

The php code actually works, it is the form that will not submit that I have the problem with. But it only happens in Internet Explorer, Mozilla does not have the problem - as the form submits and the whole thing works in that.

It is a problem with the enctype, but I am unsure why, because it worked a while ago. But its not just this computer
