how can i get the QUERY_STRING "userfile" that is passed
i want the directory it came from

i am using this

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="do_upload.php">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="upload file" />

this works fine

if ($_FILES[userfile] != "") {

$tmp = explode ( '.', $_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$fileext = $tmp[count($tmp)-1];
 $allowedexts = array("rpm", "gz", "tar", "bz2" ,"avi","mpg","mpeg","rm","wmv","mov","asf","jpg","gif","jpeg","bmp","png");
if (in_array($fileext, $allowedexts)) {
 		 @copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"/usr/home/".$_FILES['userfile']['name']) or die("Couldn't copy the file.");
} else {
    print "File not trusted!";
}

} else {
die("No input file specified");
}

what do you mean exactly by QUERY_STRING? you say you want "the directory it came from", meaning you want the upload file path on the client machine? that data is not sent via the $_FILES array.

there is nothing being sent through the querystring ($GET), your form is sending via $POST.

if you had

http://localhost/index.php?action=foo

in your address, you would get at the querystring's ($_GET) action variable through.

$action = $_GET['action'];

is this helping?
