[Resolved] Upload a PDF function

[gfrank]

Hi... I am trying to create a function to simply upload a PDF to a website... with a preset name (no matter what the file is called... it will be called a specific name on the site.)

here is the code that recieves the form where the PDF is browsed to and sent..

if (@$uploadPDF <> ""){
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['UploadPDF']['tmp_name'])) 
							{ 
							//UPLOAD 
							$file_realname = $_FILES['UploadPDF']['name'];
							//PUT IN FILDER 
							copy($_FILES['UploadPDF']['tmp_name'], "../editsuite/Products.pdf");
							?><span class="mssgtext">&nbsp;New brochure was successfuly uploaded&nbsp;</span><?php
							}  

							else
							{ 
							echo "<span class='mssgtext'>&nbsp;<b><font color=red>No file uploaded.</font></b><BR>No file available or file too big to upload.</span>"; 
							}						
					}
					else
					{
					?><span class="mssgtext">&nbsp;No File Was selected to upload. Try again.&nbsp;</span><?php
					}

Every time I try this... with a pdf properly selected in the browse file tool, it seems to act as if the file was never uploaded to the server... I always get the "No file uploaded. No file available or file too big to upload." error message.

any ideas why?

thanks

Try replacing this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['UploadPDF']['tmp_name']))

with this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['UploadPDF']))

that didn't seem to have any effect. Same results.

Could it be that the PDF is larger than upload_max_filesize and/or post_max_size? Maybe the destination folder does not have the correct permissions? Try setting error_reporting(E_ALL) and see what, if any, information it gives you.

I figured out where I messed up... I had a capitalization error in the name of the field that submits the file...

rather than "UploadPDF" it should have been "uploadPDF" for the field name.

Chalk it up to capitalization counts!

Thanks for looking at it. But I just made a dumb mistake.
