Re: Uploading files

Hello Diego, You need to use copy() If the form input is like this: file: <input name="userfile" type="file"> <input type="submit" Then PHP will assign a few variables automatically to the file, which include: $file_name - actual name of the file (pic.jpg) $file_size - size in bytes of the file $file_type - MIME type of the file. This: <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">Send this Will only let you upload a file of less than 1kb if you program around that (1024 bytes in a Kb). Setting to 102400 would give you a max upload size of 100 Kb. So, simply: <? if ($file_size < $MAX_FILE_SIZE) { @copy($file, "/path/to/dir/" . $file_name) or die ("Something's up."); } else { echo "Sorry. Your file was bigger than the allowed size of " . round(($MAX_FILE_SIZE / 1024), 2) ."Kb. Please go back and try again."; } ?> You can of course test whether the file being uploaded is a type you want, like "image/jpeg" from the $file_type. Hope this helps. James.
