did you rtfm about handling file uploads?

In your html file:

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" name="" method="post" action="upload.php3">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="60000000000000">
<input type="file" name="fichier">

In your upload.php3 file:

//Connexion to ftp server
$serv_ftp = "";
$serv_ftp_login = "";
$serv_ftp_pass = "";

				$connexion_ftp = ftp_connect($serv_ftp);
				$login = ftp_login($connexion_ftp,$serv_ftp_login,$serv_ftp_pass);

				if ((!$connexion_ftp) || (!$login)) { 
				echo "La connexion à été refuser!<br>";
				die; 
				}

				//upload du fichier distant
				$destination = "public_html/extranet/fichiers/".$fichier_name;
				ftp_put($connexion_ftp,$destination,$fichier,FTP_BINARY);

					//fermeture de la connexion
				ftp_quit($connexion_ftp);

Care to explain why you are using FTP to handle an HTTP upload?

There are several solutions for upload a file towards the server. it is certainly not via protole HTTP that you will be able to send a file on server, u hnow !!!
I think ftp is best...

I agree that FTP is better for uploading files, but why on earth would you ever want to use FTP in a PHP script when the upload is done through HTTP??

Are you planning to receive the file through HTTP, and then use FTP to upload the file to the same server that it is already on?

I'm pretty new to this, but I think Vincents last argument was pretty good. But how can I do it using HTTP?

Start by readgin the manual about 'handling file uploads' and read my snippet:

thank you for the snippet.. that helped a lot. But with the change in ver4.1.0 to use $POST or $REQUEST, how is the $HTTP_POST_FILES stored? if it is in fact any different.
thanks

I sugget you read the releasenotes for 4.1, it is all explained there.

From 4.1 on, the use of HTTP*VARS is depricated. 4.1 still supports it so you can rewrite your scripts to start using GET, POST and REQUEST instead.
Personally I still prefere to use GET and POST, not just REQUEST.

I know this.. I read it .. but I didnt see anything about POST_FILES. and print_r($_POST) doesnt illuminate it any. Oh well... I guess I'll read again. Thank you though.
