How I got PHP under Windows to upload a file

Hi all - just thought I'd put something back into the community :) I had a question a week or so ago about file uploads under Windows. I have managed to solve this and I thought I would share this as the question came up yesterday again.... Within PHP.ini I put the file upload file settings to: upload_tmp_dir = /Windows/Temp/ and then I tried this test code: <? // check for file upload if(isset($uploadedfile)) { // copy the uploaded file to a different location - in this instance // to the c: drive. copy ($uploadedfile, "c:\\$uploadedfile_name"); // just echo some variables back to the screen echo "local file: $uploadedfile<br>"; echo "Name: $uploadedfile_name<br>"; echo "size: $uploadedfile_size<br>"; echo "Type: $uploadedfile_type<br>"; } ?> <form action ="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000"> <input name="uploadedfile" type="file"> <input type="submit" value="upload"> </form> </body> </html> Make sure that you copy the file from the temp directory to wherever you want it to be before it is deleted!. I did this with: copy ($uploadedfile, "c:\\$uploadedfile_name"); I hope that this helps someone out - this is a problem which has been bugging me now for around a year!!!! All the best to everyone and have a good weekend Ade
