Re: File upload problem

Hello, I have the code below. It's a simple file upload. But it doesn't work. Before the line if(isset( $Submit )) is an echo which can I read. But after choosing a file and press a submit nothing happens. Why is if(isset( $Submit )) always false? Maybe my apache or php config is wrong? I use WinXp Prof, Apache 2.0.43, PHP 4.2.3, safe_mode is on , upload_tmp_dir is "c:\tmp\" and upload_max_filesize is 2M in PHP config file.

try a double \\ in windows paths

you will need to put a form action url in above line , like action="http://www.domain-name.com/script.php"

<input type="file" name="imagefile"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <? echo "Before submit <br>\n"; if(isset( $Submit )) {

    echo "After submit <br>\n";

    if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/gif"){
    copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'],

"files/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'])

    or die ("Could not copy");
    echo "Name: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['name']."";

}

     else {
        echo "";
        echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype

(".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].")";

        }

} ?> </form> </body> </html>
