Re: input type=file

Make sure you are using the "temporary" filename, and not the "original" one. $_FILES['test']['name'] will be something like "MyFile.doc" while $_FILES['test']['tmp_name'] will be "/temp/4534gefdg345.tmp" The second one is the one you want to use on the server. Try something like $pdf = $_FILES['pdffile']['tmp_name']; $pdf_filename = $_FILES['pdffile']['name']; move_uploaded_file($pdf, "$absbath/$pdf_filename"); Andrew Durk wrote:

I am trying to get the browser to upload a file to the server. When i try to access the variable that "holds" the file, i only get the filename. How do I get the actual file? I tried copy($pdf,"$absbath/$pdf_filename") but that resulted in a: "Warning: Unable to open 'E:\telalink.pdf' for reading: No such file or directory in..." The file is indeed there. What am I doing wrong? Is the copy command looking for a server-side file path? If so, how do I get access to a file on the client browser?? Any help would be wonderful! Tnx in advance.
