Re: uploading files

Here you go. This is a basic PHP script to handle file uploads: <? if (isset($file) && $file != "none") { /* the syntax of this is copy("path to original file", "path and name of destination"); $file stores the name and path of the temporary file. Note: if you don't copy the file immediately after upload, it will get deleted. The upload temp directory is set in php.ini and defaults to /tmp on *nix */ if (!copy($file,"/tmp/$file_name") echo "Error copying file: $file_name<br>"; $file = "none"; } ?> The html portion of the code would go something like this: <form method="POST" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000"> <input type=file name=file> <input type=submit value="Upload Image"> </form> Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "ScourNepal.com" <sales@scournepal.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 12:05 AM Subject: [PHP-GENERAL] uploading files > I went through the manual, but it hardly helped me.
