[RESOLVED] usin $_FILES[] and $HTTP_POST_FILES[]

[StevenJ]

I have tried this using both $_FILES[] and $HTTP_POST_FILES[] when trying to upload files, but to no avail.

The form I use was fully working, I just wished now, to add a file upload to a previously working form.

form code is:

<input type="file" name="newsfile" size="32" />
<input name="store_dir" type="hidden" value="images/OtherImages/">

if( !is_dir($store_dir) )
  {
   echo("Specified directory is not valid... Exiting");
   unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name']);
   exit();
  }


if( copy($_FILES['newsfile']['tmp_name'], $store_dir.$_FILES['newsfile']['name']) )
  {
     echo("Uploaded ".$_FILES['newsfile']['name']." successfully.");
  }
  else
  {
     echo("Upload of ".$_FILES['newsfile']['name']." to ".$store_dir." failed!!!!<BR>");
  }

on my testing server, I get :-

Undefined index: newsfile in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\folder\testfile.php on line 96

it's as if $_FILES['newsfile']['name'] isn't registering.

I have looked for any variable that I need to set in the php.ini file - but have come up with nothing. ANy idea what I have done wrong?

did you add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form tag?
