RES: [PHP] file upload

I think my php server is not good. I did "copy($arqcliente, "/home/httpd/html/admin/$arqcliente_name");" It didn't work. Then I tried to print both variables, and $arqcliente printed "C:\\Augusto\\temp.txt" and the $arqcliente_name printed nothing! echo "arqcliente =$arqcliente<br>"; echo "arqcliente_name =$arqcliente_name<br>"; It's strange because I read the same thing that you told before. I have the right permissions for httpd that folder. Because I can write in a file in this server folder. regards, Augusto -----Mensagem original----- De: Andrew Rush [mailto:andy@mainetoday.com] Enviada em: terça-feira, 3 de abril de 2001 18:05 Para: Augusto Cesar Castoldi Assunto: Re: [PHP] file upload on 4/3/01 4:51 PM, Augusto Cesar Castoldi at castoldi@inf.ufsc.br wrote: > hehe, I forgot. > > I'm getting this error messagem: > --------------------- > Warning: Unable to open 'F:\\Augusto\\Augusto.wri' for reading: No such > file or directory in /home/httpd/html/admin/upload.php3 on line 5 sounds like you are trying to copy a file that doesn't exist. PHP doesn't upload the file data with the name from the uploader's local filesystem, it creates a temporary name which is available as a variable with the same name as the file input on the form. so if you have: <input type="file" name="myFile"> when handling the form there will be a variable name "$myFile". this will contain the file data. the original name of the file is available as the name of the file input with "_name" appended. in the case given the value for "$myFile_name" would be "Augusto.wri". so you will want to do: copy($myFile, "path/to/my/folder/for/$myFile_name"); you should end up with the file data in the proper place. one last thing- make sure that the user who runs the webserver has write permission for the folder you want to copy into. i can't tell you how many times this step trips people up- myself included. have a great day andy -- ******************************************************* Andrew Rush :: Lead Systems Developer :: MaineToday.com ******************************************************* "A friend of the devil is a friend of mine" - R.
