Need help with filename problem

[dominideus]

Hi, I need some help please.

I only need the filename provided in a browse box in a html form.

Now I use this script:

HTML-file:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="admin.php" method="post" name="createform">

<tr>
<td><font color="FF0032">MP3 #01 Uploaden</font></td>
<td><input type="file" name="mp31"></td>
</tr>

<td>
<input type="submit" value="Maak pagina">*<input type="reset" value="Wissen">
</td>

PHP-FILE:

$mp32t=$_POST["mp32t"];

$mp32n=$_FILES['mp32']['name'];

if($mp32n){
$somecontent2= "<song path=\"$mp32n\" title=\"$mp32t\" />";

};

I use the PHP file to write an XML file.

I just want the local filename (Windows). At this moment the file gets uploaded first and than filename returns. But I want to use files larger than 7 MB and my Internet Explorer :xbones: after max 6 MB or something.
And I just want the local filename... 😕 ....

Thanks for your help!

$_FILES['userfile']['name'] will return the filename, but not the path, so that's the only thing you are going to be able to get...

You could use javascript to get it and send it to the form, but I never did that and am not even sure if current browsers allow you to do such a thing...

By the way, in your code, the field name end with "31", but in your PHP code, you refer to the same name with "32" (and not "31")...

Not sure I understand the problem, but usually the local filename has little meaning in the server context, and the name passed by the browser may compromise security. To reduce this risk, the upload is made to a temporary file on the server, and the tmp_name is passed in the $_FILES array.

The upload_max_filesize option in php.ini sets a hard upper limit (to avoid denial of service attacks) on the size of uploaded files. You can also set a soft limit by having your form submit a MAX_FILE_SIZE parameter before any file field parameters.

In any event, php ignores any attempt to set the soft limit larger than the hard upper limit.
