[RESOLVED] File Upload Problem

[rsmith]

I have a form element used to browse for and upload a file. The snippet is:

<input type="file" name="file">

And here's the php that processes it:

$target_path = "../propimages/listingPhotos/";

			$tmp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
			$name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
			if(!move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$target_path$name")){
				if(!is_writable($target_path)){
					echo "path not writable<br />";
				}
				echo "Could not upload the file<br />";
				echo "$target_path$name<br />";
				echo $target_path."<br />";
				exit();
			}else{
				$listingPhoto = "$target_path$name";
			}

I've ensured the correct security permissions and have even used this script (with different variables) on other projects without a hitch. The problem is it doesn't upload the file and doesn't seem to get the filename for that matter. Where I have it echo the $target_path$name and the $target_path separately, only the path is echoed. Do I need to concatenate the variables to be $target_path.$name ?

TIA!

If you do a print_r($_FILES); is there any data in it? If not, did you include the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute in your <form> tag?

And if there is data shown in the $_FILES array, what is the error code? You can look up what the integers mean on this page: [man]features.file-upload.errors[/man].

Aha! It was the form enctype. Thanks guys! Sometimes just need an extra pair of eyes.
