Re: Stuck trying to upload and grab file name

At the risk of being unable to understand all the posts that are here already, here is some std. code that I use when I'm uploading a file. First - i capture the input field in a local var and all of its components in other local vars to make my coding easier later on.

$inputfield = $_POST['infile'];    // infile is the html name of the type='file' field

$destfolder = (where I want the end result stored) $outfile = (the filename of the end result) $result = HandleUploadedFile($inputfield,$destfolder,$outfile); (handle $result after return) ******* The function I use: function HandleUploadedFile($inputfield,$destfolder,$outfile)

{    // parm 1 is the name of the type=file field in the html; 2 & 3 are path and output filename you want to store it in
    global $msg,$ftype,$ferror,$fname,$fsize,$ftmpname;
    $ftype = $_FILES[$inputfield]["type"];
    $ferror = $_FILES[$inputfield]["error"];
    $fname = $_FILES[$inputfield]["name"];
    $fsize = $_FILES[$inputfield]["size"];
    $ftmpname = $_FILES[$inputfield]["tmp_name"];
    // code up acceptabe filetypes here
    if ( $ftype == "text/plain")
        {
        if ($ferror > 0)
        {
            $msg .= ' Upload error - return code was '.$ferror;
            return False;
        }
        else
        {
            if (file_exists($destfolder . $fname))
            {
                $msg .= " Duplicate filename - upload not done, continuing.";
                return True;
            }
            else
            {
                $msg .= " File has been uploaded to: " . $destfolder .$outfile;
                move_uploaded_file($ftmpname,$destfolder . $outfile);
                return True;
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $msg .= " Invalid file type for menu input upload";
        $msg .= " Type is ".$ftype;
        return False;
    }

} You of course want to name your end result like the original filename, so you will have to make a change to that parameter, but this will work for you.
