note 60011 added to features.file-upload

Hi, I'm fairly new to PHP and have run into something very tough for me. I'm trying to upload files, and put them into a directory based on a selection from a dropdown menu. The idea: 1) dropdown menu fills in from an array. 2) user selects a value. 3) the selected value becomes the directory name where the files will be uploaded into. below is the code that fills in the dropdown menu, then the upload script. I can't figure out step 3 though. ------ dropdown menu ------ <?php if(is_array($user_list)) { echo "<select name=\"user_selected\">\n"; foreach ($user_list as $user) { echo "<option value=\"$user\">$user</option>\n"; } echo "</select>\n"; } else echo $GLOBALS[no_users]; ?> ------ upload script ------ <?php $uploaddir = *** WHAT IS THIS VARIABLE??? ***; $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']); if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo 'upload succesfull';} else { echo 'Uploading Error'; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60011 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60011&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60011&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
