Help with upload and $_FILES

[redrabbit]

I'm trying to upload a file to my server using php.

I have a form and i have set the enctype to multipart/form-data and i have a input type of file.

I was reading php.net documentation which said to use $_FILES to upload.

When i do :

echo $_FILES['file']['mime']; or any other tpye like that, nothing is output.

When i do print_r($_FILES); it outputs an empty array.

Any ideas ?

try the following:

$file=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
echo $file_name;

A small yet important note

Php will only be able to report on files that were uploaded by php

So in other words if your upload form is plain old html and not PHP then php will not know about it.

I experieced this when trying to use a perl script to upload a file then use php to manage the uploaded file.

Make sure your file that has the upload form is a php script
