uploading files

Anon

Can Someone offer suggestions to my problem !! (I'm going mad!!!)

I'm oing hrough a php tutorial, exolaining how to upload a file to my web server.

the trouble is that there seems to be a proble with enctype="multipart/form-data",
according to the tutorial, this shou generate variables with data about the file being uploaded. This seems to be my trouble.

here is the code for both the form and the upload pages : -

#############

form page

#############

<head>
	<title>uploading a file</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method="post" action="do_upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>File to upload:<br>
<input type="file" name="img1 size="30"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="upload file"></p>
</form>

</body>

#############

do_upload

#############

debug<br>
$img1 = <?=$img1?><br>
$img1_name = <?=$img1_name?><br>
$img1_size = <?=$img1_size?><br>
$img1_type = <?=$img1_type?><br>

if($img1_name != ""){
@copy("$img1", "/http_docs/uploader/$img1_name");
} else if($img_name == ""){
echo "oops something went wrong";
}
?>

This is the output from the do_upload page after exec: -

debug
$img1 =
$img1_name =
$img1_size =
$img1_type =
oops something went wrong

Please help

Try this code

<form action="http:\localhost\upload.php" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
submitbthis file<input type=file name="userfile">
<input type=submit>

and php file

You submitted this file:<BR><BR>
Name: <? echo($userfile); ?><BR>
Original Name: <? echo($userfile_name); ?><BR>
Size: <? echo($userfile_size); ?><BR>
Type: <? echo($userfile_type); ?><BR>

<?
// Copy the file to C:\upload.txt. Remember to escape backslashes!
if (copy($userfile, "temp/$userfile_name")) {
echo("<B>File successfully copied!</B>");
} else {
echo("<B>Error: failed to copy file...</B>");
}

  // Destroy the file now we've copied it
  unlink($userfile);

Save this file as upload.php

If this code was copied verbatim from your script:

Then your problem would have been caused by forgetting the closing " after img1.
