[Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] Specify folder for file upload?

[developer]

Hello! 🙂

I have this which is working fine:

$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'],$file_name);

Now I need to also specify the directory( $album which is a folder from 1-10 ( and $album is int 1-10)) where the file should be uploaded. (the folders are directly "under" this folder where this code is)

I am building on more on this little great script: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-MultiFile-Upload-Script-in-PHP/

Any ideas please?

All code:

<?
$uploadNeed = $_POST['uploadNeed'];
// start for loop
for($x=0;$x<$uploadNeed;$x++){
$file_name = $_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['name'];
// strip file_name of slashes
$file_name = stripslashes($file_name);
$file_name = str_replace("'","",$file_name);
$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'],$file_name);
 // check if successfully copied
 if($copy){
 echo "$file_name | File uploaded!<br>";
 }else{
 echo "$file_name | Problems! File not uploaded <br>";
 }
} // end of loop
?>

Just shove the directory right before the destination path:
"./directory/".$file_name;
This "." method is called concatenation (think of it as glue between two strings).

sorry, but I don't get it right. 🙁

I have a folder with the name "2". ( I have set it to 777)

Have tried this

$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name']"./2/".$file_name);

And also this

$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name']./2/.$file_name);

Error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

I think
me']"./2/". should be me']."/2/".

Hi there! 🙂

No, sorry,

$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name']."/2/".$file_name);

Gives:

"Warning: Wrong parameter count for copy() "

Hello! 🙂

I got it to work now using this 🙂

$move = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'], './2/'.$file_name);

Thanks for all the help.
