[RESOLVED] Image Upload

[MitchEvans]

I have been through several different lots of code and done so many searches on google that i'm beginning to give up. I just want a simple image upload to work. I want my users to be able to choose "browse" and when they click submit there image is added to my web server in a folder called upload.
If anyone can poiint me in the right direction or have actually found some code that works please let me know!

Thanks for looking, look forward to your replies!

<form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="image">
<br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

<?
if(isset( $submit ))
{
//If the Submitbutton was pressed do:

if ($_FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif")

 {

  copy ($_FILES['image']['temp_name'], "files/".$_FILES['image']['name']) 
    or die ("Could not copy"); 

 }

 echo ""; 
        echo "Name: ".$_FILES['image']['name'].""; 
        echo "Size: ".$_FILES['image']['size'].""; 
        echo "Type: ".$_FILES['image']['type'].""; 
        echo "Copy Done !; 
        } 

 else {
            echo "<br/>";
            echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['image']['name'].")<br/>";
        }
} 


?> 
</form>

Thanks for the replies, it seems i'm still having problems though, i'm trying to use the code below but having no luck. It says "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (gif.gif)" and i'm trying to upload a gif so why is this happening any ideas. I don't think it's recognising the image type as image/gif, any reason why this would be?

<?
echo"
<form name='form1' method='post' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'> 
<input type='file' name='image'> 
<br> 
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>";

if(isset( $submit )) 
{ 
//If the Submitbutton was pressed do: 

if ($_FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif") 

{ 

  copy ($_FILES['image']['temp_name'], "images/directory/".$_FILES['image']['name']) 
    or die ("Could not copy"); 

} 

echo ""; 
        echo "Name: ".$_FILES['image']['name'].""; 
        echo "Size: ".$_FILES['image']['size'].""; 
        echo "Type: ".$_FILES['image']['type'].""; 
        echo "Copy Done !"; 
 }

else { 
            echo "<br/>"; 
            echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['image']['name'].")<br/>"; 
        } 




echo"</form>";
?>

I've also tried this but it won't upload to my folder called "upload"

<?
echo"
<form name='form1' method='post' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'> 
<input type='file' name='image'> 
<br> 
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>";

echo $_FILES['image']['type'];
echo $_FILES['image']['name'];

if(isset( $submit )) 
{ 
//If the Submitbutton was pressed do: 

if ($_FILES['image']['type'] == "image/gif") 

{ 

  copy ($_FILES['image']['temp_name'], "upload/".$_FILES['image']['name']) 
    or die ("Could not copy"); 
}}

echo"</form>";
?>

I've changed the permissions on the relevant folder but still the code above refuses to work. It doesn't even say "could not copy" if a jpeg is tried to upload which makes me think that there is a problem with the code starting with "copy" does anyone see any problems? I've even tried using the full root of the folder but still no good 😕 :queasy: 😕

Start by using if(isset($_POST['submit'])), as just using $submit will not work if register_globals is not turned on (and on most current installations it is NOT turned on).

Also, I'm not sure how much you should depend on the $_FILES['image']['type'] variable being set, as that info is sent by the browser; so there's no guarantee that it will be sent, or whether it will be in upper or lower case, etc.

Ok thanks for looking, I'm using this but still my upload folder is empty:

<?   

echo"
<form name='form1' method='post' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'> 
<input type='file' name='image'> 
<br> 
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>"; 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{ 
copy ($_FILES['image']['name'], "/upload".$_FILES['image']['name']); 
} 
echo"</form>";
?>

It's ok sorted it now cheers for looking, I put the full path in with /home/default infront also!

Let's give an actual value to the form action, and add some debugging. Also, the copy command is going to use filesystem paths, not web document paths, so I changed the copy command a bit:

<?php
// show all errors, warnings, and notices:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

echo"
<form name='form1' method='post' action='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='image'>
<br>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>";

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
copy ($_FILES['image']['name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/upload/".$_FILES['image']['name']);
}
echo"</form>";
?>

If this does not work, hopefully you'll at least get some error output that gives some hints as to why not.
