File upload and ftp help

[Anti]

I am trying ot get this to upload a file using an http form. It connects fine, but then I get Ftp upload has failed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I think it is something to do with destination or source file. anyone have any ideas?

<?php
//declare variables
$source_file=$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$destination_file='/uploads/';
$ftp_server= 'ftp.hawtalta.com';

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'username', pass);

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server <br>";
}

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "FTP upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file as $destination_file";
}

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

As I look at this code, it would be easier to read if you surrounded your code by &#91;php&#93;Your Code Here&#91;/php&#93; tags. It will syntax highlight everything, and make it easier to read.

Are you checking that you are logged in or not? That would be the first thing that tips me off in your code.

<?php
//declare variables
$source_file=$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$destination_file='/uploads/';
$ftp_server= 'ftp.hawtalta.com';

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'username', pass);

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))
{
    echo "FTP connection has failed!";
    echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server";
    exit();
}
else
{
    echo "Connected to $ftp_server <br>";
}

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload)
{
    echo "FTP upload has failed!";
}
else
{
    echo "Uploaded $source_file as $destination_file";
}

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

Change this:

$source_file=$_FILES['userfile']['name']; 

to this:

$source_file=$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];

Cool, I will give that a try. Why do I need tmp_name instead of name anyway?
thanks Mike. Sorry, I will put the code in the php tags next time.

It was late night and I was tired.

yes, it is connecting though. It says connection established.

Because when you upload a file, php references the tmp_name that it gives to each upload before you handle it. It's just the way that php works.
