I'm running PHP 4.0.6, and I tried to get Example 20-2 working with $HTTP_POST_FILES for the uploading of PDF articles for a website. I was unsuccessful, but I was able to come up with a work around. Here are some code snippets that I used in my working version: in the html form: <input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='8000000'> <input name='article' type='file'> in the processing php file: if (is_uploaded_file($article)) { // $file is composed of variables to ensure that different article types are put in their corresponding directories $file = "../articles/" . $section . "/" . $id . ".pdf"; move_uploaded_file($article, $file) or die("Error! File not moved!"); print "File uploaded to: " . $file; } else { echo "Possible file upload attack. Filename: " . $article_name; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24642 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24642 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24642
