[RESOLVED] script isnt pulling the basename from upload

[blckspder]

This upload script im using for some reason wont pull the file name and database it when you go to upload a file and it wont upload the file either... I used this script before and got it to work but for some reason it wont work now.. I checked the other forms and they still work so i must be missing something in the script.

//update form
if(isset($_POST['updatepdf'])) {
$language = $_POST['language'];
$category = $_POST['category'];
$revcode = $_POST['revcode'];
$product = $_POST['product'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$update = $_POST['update'];

$file_path = $language;
$file_path .= "/";
$file_path .= $product;
$file_path .= "/";

$target_path = '/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/' . $language . '/' . $product . '/' . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 
//$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$filename = basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded to ". $file_path;
	} else{
    	echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
		}

//update the data base
mysql_query("UPDATE pdf_reference SET language='$language', category='$category', product='$product', description='$description', rev_code='$revcode', file_name='$filename', file_path='$file_path' WHERE web_num='$update'");

//confirmation table
	print '<table id=\'table\'>';
	print '<tr>';
	print '<td colspan=\'3\'><b>Language:</b>&nbsp;' . $language . '</td>';
	print '</tr>';
	print '<tr>';
	print '<td id=\'webnum\' rowspan=\'4\'>web #<br />' . $update . '</td>';
	print '<td><b>File Name:</b>&nbsp;' . $filename . '</td>';
	print '<td><b>Revision Code:</b>&nbsp;' . $revcode . '</td>';
	print '</tr>';
	print '<tr>';
	print '<td colspan=\'2\'><b>File Path:</b>&nbsp;' . $file_path . '</td>';
	print '</tr>';
	print '<tr>';
	print '<td><b>Category:</b>&nbsp;' . $category . '</td>';
	print '<td><b>Product:</b>&nbsp;' . $product . '</td>';
	print '</tr>';
	print '<tr>';
	print '<td colspan=\'2\'><b>Description:</b>&nbsp;<br />' . $description . '<td>';
	print '</tr>';
	print '</table><br />';

}

what errors are you getting? Have you echoed out the file_path variable at critical moments? What is the update query that is passed to the database/ Check these things, and the question will solve itself; if not, post these things here please.

My sql query is the same as the other scripts which work fine.. but I am getting these errors

Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\wamp\www\pdf_update\update2.php on line 184

Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\wamp\www\pdf_update\update2.php on line 186

Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in C:\wamp\www\pdf_update\update2.php on line 188

this is line 184

$target_path = '/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/' . $language . '/' . $product . '/' . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

This is line 186

$filename = basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

this is line 188(which is an if statement)

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded to ". $file_path;
	} else{
    	echo "<span id=\"uploaderror\">There was an error uploading the file, please try again!</span>";
		}

please help im not sure what these errors mean

What's the name of form element which uploads the file. It has to match.

e.g. <input type="file" name="uploadedfile"> then reference $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']

I found when echoing the $_FILES array that the element 'name' is the basename of the file so you don't even need to use the basename function

[blckspder]

The form element matches.. Could you give me an example of this "I found when echoing the $_FILES array that the element 'name' is the basename of the file so you don't even need to use the basename function" I think I might know what you mean.. thanks

Just put in your script:

echo $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] and see what you get.

You can use

echo "<pre>";
  var_dump($_FILES);
  echo "</pre>";

to view the contents of the $_FILES array as well, just to see what's where

When I upload a file called image.jpg using a form, the ['name'] part is just set to image.jpg there's no filepath or anything because you haven't moved it yet
