copy() [any help plz~]

[ddlam]

I am very bothered with the copy()
The following code runs fine in my apache server but it's fail for my web provider.

if($_GET == null){
	echo "<form action=upload2.php?send method=POST><input type=file name=pendFile><input type=submit></form>";
}else{
	$file = $_POST["pendFile"];
	if (copy($file, "a.jpg")){
		echo $file." Upload Success";
	}else{
          echo $file." Upload Fail";
	}
 }

I checked the phpInfo(), both server are using PHP Version 4.3.10 with file_uploads=On. And display_errors is off for my web provider server.

What can I do in order to find out the problem 🙁

Any idea would be very appreciated ~!!!!!!!!!

You might need to check incoming variables properly, and set the enctype of the form to multipart/form-data

e.g.

<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit']) || empty($_POST['pendFile'])) {
?>
<form action="upload2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="pendFile"><input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
} else {
	$file = $_POST["pendFile"];
	if (copy($file, "a.jpg")) {
		echo $file . " Upload Success";
	} else {
		echo $file . " Upload Fail";
	}
}
?>

Incidentally, you can use [man]ini_set/man with display_errors from what I see.

EDIT:
oops, mixed up the logic of the conditional

To the best of my knowledge uploaded files don't show up in the $_POST array.

$file = $_FILES['pendFile']['tmp_name'];

You also might want to look at move_uploaded_file.

[phpscripters]

you may also want to take a look at the move_uploaded_file funtion. I tried using the copy function in a program of mine with no success so I tried this and it worked.

For more information see PHP Docs: move_uploaded_file

Yep, I didnt catch that.
