Problem while uploading some files

kaushik_acharya

I am using upload.html to upload files

<html>

<body>
<h3>File Upload</h3>
Select a file to upload:<br/>

</form>

</body>

</html>

upload.php is here:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

if($file_name !="")
{
	copy("$file","/path/$file_name")
	or die("Could not copy file");
///usr/local/apache_1.3.33/$file_name
}
else
{
	die("no file specified");
}
?>
<html>

<head><title>Upload Complete</title></head>

<body>
	<h3>Upload Succceeded</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>Sent: <?php echo "$file_name"; ?>
	<li>Size: <?php echo "$file_size"; ?> bytes
	<li>Type: <?php echo "$file_type"; ?>
	</ul>

<a href="<?php echo "$file_name" ?>">Click to view file</a>

</body>
</html>

This thing works for uploading most of the files ... but is unable to upload file like this one:

<?php
require('db_connect.php');	// database connect script.
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>add to test1</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{ 		// if form has been submitted
		/* check they filled in what they supposed to,
		passwords matched, username
		isn't already taken, etc. */

	if (!$_POST['name'])
	{
		die('You did not fill in a required field.');
	}

	// check if username exists in database.

	if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
	{
		$_POST['name'] = addslashes($_POST['name']);
	}



	$name_check = $db_object->query("SELECT name FROM test1 WHERE name = '".$_POST['name']."'");

	if (DB::isError($name_check))
	{
		die($name_check->getMessage());
	}

	$name_checkk = $name_check->numRows();

	if ($name_checkk != 0)
	{
		die('Sorry, the name: <strong>'.$_POST['name'].'</strong> is already taken, please pick another one.');
	}


	// no HTML tags in username, website, location, password

	$_POST['name'] = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
	$_POST['website'] = strip_tags($_POST['website']);



	/* the rest of the information is optional, the only thing we need to
	check is if they submitted a website,
	and if so, check the format is ok. */

	if ($_POST['website'] != '' & !preg_match("/^(http|ftp):\/\//", $_POST['website']))
	{
		$_POST['website'] = 'http://'.$_POST['website'];
	}



	if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
	{
		$_POST['website'] = addslashes($_POST['website']);
	}



	$regdate = date('M d, Y');

	error_reporting(E_ALL);

	$insert = "INSERT INTO test1 (
//			name,
//			website,
			regdate)
			VALUES (
//			'".$_POST['name']."',
//			'".$_POST['website']."',
			{'$regdate'})";

	$add_member = $db_object->query($insert);

	if (DB::isError($add_member))
	{
		die($add_member->getMessage());
	}

	$db_object->disconnect();
?>


<h1>Added to test1</h1>

?>

<h1>Test1</h1>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

</table>
</form>

<?php

}

?>
</body>
</html>

why is it like that?

if you are dealing with files and uploading them from a form using
<input type=file> then you should use $_FILES[] array

check out php.net, section Handling file uploads for more
