[Resolved] Trouble with $_FILES

[Arc]

Hey guys. I have a code for uploading an image that was on a register globals on server. I handled the image uploading like so

If (!empty($btnImage)){
	  If ((!$btnImage_type == "image/pjpeg" AND !$btnImage_type == "image/jpeg") OR !$btnImage_type == "image/gif"){
	   $Error .= "Image must be in either .jpg or .gif format.<br>";
	   }
    // Check To Make Sure Image Is Of Right Dimensions //
	  $ImageSize = getimagesize($btnImage);
      $ImageWidth = $ImageSize[0];
      $ImageHeight = $ImageSize[1];
	 //If ($ImageWidth > 500)$Error .= "<img src=\"../images/bullet.gif\" border=0>Image is not the correct size, it must be less than 500 pixels wide.<br>";
     }

But now I have to use $_FILES since it is on a server with register globals off.

I have tried just putting $btnImage=$_FILES['btnImage']; at the top of the page, but that doesn't work.

Also I don think I can use the $btnImage_type or things like that now...do I have to use $_FILES['btnImage'].type or something like that?

Thanks for any input!

Firstly are you getting any errors?

Also read this http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

It states to get the type it must be $_FILES['formfieldname']['type'];

Yah the error I am getting is at

$ImageSize = getimagesize($btnImage);

it says no such file or directory... even if I put the $btnImage=$_FILES['btnImage']; before it.

thanks for the link i'll check it out. Anyone else feel free to add anything they know.

Thanks!😃

EDIT: Woops, I misunderstood 'size' for 'filesize'.

The file is stored under a temporary name. If you visit the above linked manual page, you'll find that you can retrieve this temporary name using: $_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name']

Try using that filename instead.

Ahh yes I got it all figured out after looking at the manual.

Thanks a lot!😃
