Thanks everyone for all the info. -----Original Message----- From: Khalid El-Kary [mailto:khalid_kary@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:08 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] images hi, first i noted that you wrote action="c:\junk" this won't work if the script is on the "c:\" drive of your webserver! because this means the script is on the "c:\" drive of the client ... you should use a relative or full URL http://www.domain.com/myscript.php or realtive: scriptname.php (assuming that the script is on the same path of the HTML file which contains the form) different than that your HTML form is okay ... about the PHP script, after the form is submitted PHP will create an array for you $_FILES which contain references to the files you uploaded, so to refer to the file in your form you would write (just to refer to it) $_FILES['uploadfile'] PHP also provides you with four variables for each uploaded file, infact the reference to the file is an array itself that contains 4 elements (as i know) tmp_name (is the place where PHP temproarily uploaded the file) name (the original file name) size (this file size) type (mime type) to get the original name of your file you will write (according to your form) $_FILES['uploadfile']['name'] to put the file in an intended path use this function move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'],"/yourpathgoeshere/your filenamegoeshere.jpg"); you will remark that both the path and the file name are generated by you, so it's easy to edit them and insert them into the database if you want to know if there's a file with the same name use the function file_exists(string filename) and then change the name according to it you must also refer to the PHP manual post method uploads: http://it3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php#features.file-upload.p ost-method File system functions: http://it3.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php khalid _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month.  Try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/2monthsfree.asp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
