Using HTTP_POST_FILES with online files

[Volanttantes]

Hi!

How can I get the following to work?

<?php
$bestand="/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/site.com/bestand.zip";
$file_type = $HTTP_POST_FILES[$bestand]['type'];
echo $file_type;
?>

I need to 'upload' files from an online source so I can change the parameters (filename, etc.)

Thanx in advance!

V.

you should read up on Handling file uploads. the $_FILES array will contain all of the available data on the uploaded file(s). the form field name(s) will be the array keys and the rest of the data will be in a subarray in the values.
