[Mikkki]

I have problems getting this to work:S can anybody help me?
Im trying to upload files to a folder named musikk where my index file is placed.

<form name="musikk" method="post" action="redirect.php">
<input type="file" name="browse" size="chars">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>

<?php

if (move_uploaded_file ($FILES['browse'] ['tmp_name'],
"/musikk/{$FILES['browse'] ['name']}"))
{
echo "sucsessfully uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "failed";
}
?>

Your form tag needs the enctype attribute, which should be set to "multipart/form-data"

[Mikkki]

i set the register_globals = on
and now it works with txt files but not with .mp3 is this possible?
or dosnt it work because of the filesize maybe ? 🙂

From manual:

The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field (measured in bytes) must precede the file input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. This is an advisory to the browser, PHP also checks it. Fooling this setting on the browser side is quite easy, so never rely on files with a greater size being blocked by this feature. The PHP settings for maximum-size, however, cannot be fooled. This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too big and the transfer failed.

So my guess would be that you are trying to upload file that is bigger that allowed by the upload_max_filesize which by default is 2 MB's...
