File Upload Problem

darrenfinch

Hi All,

I have a small issue with a script I am working on. I am trying to learn php but I have a php 4 'manual' with php 5 loaded! I have found errors (in the book) which I have sorted but this one has got me stumped!

I have used a standard form to upload the file then pass that into the filehandler.php but everytime I hit the upload I get a Error 500 - Internal server error.

OS: Win XP
Web server : Abyss V2.0 (free version)

HTML:

	Enter the filename (including the path) or click browse:<p>

	<!-- Set max size to 100K -->
	<input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=100000>
	<input type=file name=resume><p>
	<input type=submit value=Upload>
</form>

</body>
</html>

PHP

<?php
// Begin HTML Page
print "<html><body>";

// Get the data out of the "resume" form element
$filedata = $_FILE['resume'];
$tempfile = $filedata['tmp_name'];

// Check to see if the file is indeed an upload
if (is_uploaded_file($tempfile)
		{
			// Create destination path/filename
			$destfile="/".$filedata['name'];

			// Attempt file move and report success/failure
			if (move_uploaded_file($tempfile, $destfile))
					{
						print "File moved to: $destfile";
					} else {
									 print "File cannot be moved to : $destfile";
									} esle {
		 											// File not specified in "resume" element was not an upload or nothing specified
		 											print "No uploaded file!";
	 											}
		}
// Close open HTML elements
print "</html></body>";

Can anyone help me ?

If that is the actual code you have pasted in here then you need to clean up your html. Apart from the hanging quotes in this line, the method is wrong:

<form action=filehandler.php" method="$_POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Better that you take a look at the manual to learn what you should be writing in a <form> element . Then go to the index and bookmark it for future reference.
