file upload problems

[jmlin84@gmail.com]

I'm using the code:

if(move_uploade d_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'],
$target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). "
has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

but move_uploaded_f ile keeps returning false. I checked the $_FILES
array and all the values are correct and it seems as if the file is on
ther server. I just can't move it. Any ideas anyone?

I'm using a form to uploada the picture.

<form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="./uploadUserPhoto .php"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a picture to upload:
<input name="uploadedf ile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

thanks,

James

no write permission in the dir you move the file to?

Re: file upload problems

Maybe your file has a size higher than the maxim size allowed for the server

Re: file upload problems

Hi,

If you are using PHP 4.2.0 or above then you may find that the
following page helps :

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php

I was getting errors in one of my scripts then I stumbled across that
page, found out what the error actually was and was able to fix it.

Hope this helps,

Jimmy.
