You are referencing the file vars incorrectly. It needs to be
$_FILES['finame'] not $_FILES['$finame'].

Subject: [PHP] Missing Var
Running Red Hat Fedora 1, latest updates. MySQL 3.23.58 PHP 4.3.4 Apache
2.0.48.
Uploaded file info not showing up where it's supposed to. Here's the
scenario:
Here is my "form header":
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="includes/file.php"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="usna" value="<?=$usna?>">
<input type="hidden" name="auth" value="<?=$auth?>">
<input type="hidden" name="filid" value="<?=$filid?>">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
Here is the input field where it gets the filename:
<input type=\"file\" name=\"finame\" size=\"27\">
Here is the PHP code that executes this:
if($newfile){
$uploaddir = "/home/nick/http/homepage/userfiles/";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['$finame']['name'];
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['$finame']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)){
$finame = basename($finame);
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO files SET
filename='$finame', owner='$fiowner', description='$fidesc'");
}
else{
echo "<p> </p><center><H2>File Upload
Failed.</H2></center>";
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\"
CONTENT=\"5;URL=../index.php?index=main.inc&usna=$usna&auth=$auth\">";
}
}
Here is the resulting $_FILE values:
Array ( [finame] => Array ( [name] => brian.txt [type] => text/plain
[tmp_name] => /home/nick/dump/phpTFCF0R [error] => 0 [size] => 1627 ) )
Here is the resulting $uploadfile value, and the problem:
/home/nick/http/homepage/userfiles/
Now, I took this code, as you might recognize parts of it, right from
PHP.NET in the part of the manual about "post method uploads". I can't
for the life of me figure out why the filename is not being returned to
that string. Any thoughts?
