Problem with file manipulation.

[bsands]

Can anyone take a look at this and tell me what is wrong?

When I echo the variables, I notice that nothing is showing up for $filename.

This is really bugging me because I'm almost delerious I've been up so long trying to figure this out.

Please help!..

-------------------------------Start Upload Form

            <form name=\"contractform\" method=\"post\" action=\"writer.php?p=upload_contract&sl=links_auction\">
            <input name=\"userfile\" type=\"file\">
            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"id\" value=\"" . $auction_entry . "\">
            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bidder\" value=\"" . $bidder_name . "\">
            <input class=\"button\" type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Upload!\">
            </form>

-------------------------------Start Upload Script

$file_name = basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']);

$up_accname = ucfirst($accname);
//Modify the following path to the required destination path.
$folder_path = "project_files/" . $up_accname . "projects/" .$up_accname . "legal/";
$file_loc = $folder_path . $filename;
$target_path = "../" . $folder_path . $file_name;

echo $target_path . "<br><br>" . $file_loc . "<br><br>" . $file_name;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path))
{

$query="UPDATE $bid_table SET external_contract='$file_loc', mbd_contract='0' WHERE bid_from='$bidder_name'";
if($query)
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Could not write to table" . mysql_error();
}
}
else
{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

Have you tried setting enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form tag?

No luck with that, it's as if the code is just not grabbing a name for the file. I don't know why though.

Test using this:

<?php
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
	print_r($_FILES);
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="userfile" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

I fixed this in a wierd way. It took me defining a variable

$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

Once I did that, it started working perfectly.

Thanks for all the input.
