uploading files

[kruahsohr]

I want to upload files via a html form (enctype= mulitpart/form-data), the input type is file, if I press submit I should have variables like: NameOfInputtype_size, name and type...if I do that the _name is always empty ('none') why that ???
Is it Browser-dependent ???

The info about the uploaded file is contained in the $HTTP_POST_FILES array. Add a call to phpinfo() on the page catching the form submission to get a full list of the available key's and their values.

I'm also trying to upload files. When I'm on my script I can reach the temporary file on the server side but when I try to move the it to a specific directory, I get permission denied. How can I give permission to move these files ? I'm using win2000 to develop, and linux to deploy.

You need to make sure the webserver user has write permissions (chmod 666) on the folder you're trying to copy the uploaded file to. This also applies on NT boxes running the server on an NTFS filesystem.

how can i cath the form submission with phpinfo() ??

You can't catch the form submission with phpinfo(). However, you can place a call to phpinfo() in the code of the script which does catch the form submission. In the bottom section of phpinfo()'s output it wil tell you what the current values of the HTTP_POST_FILES array is, thus letting you know what you have to play with.
