    PHP file upload form

    Hello
    I am trying to create a simple file upload form so my band members can
    upload mp3s onto my server. I am using this tutorial:

    PHP Tutorial - File Upload
    http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php
    Learn the basics of uploading files with PHP by reading Tizag.com's PHP File Upload lesson.



    I am having problems creating the code for uploader.php. Can anyone
    show me exacly how it should look?

    Thanks

      I did this for the first time the other day.

      On the HTML side:

      <form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="/upload.php" method="POST"[color=blue]
      >[/color]
      Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /> <br />
      <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
      </form>


      And your PHP action:

      $uploaddir = './dir/';
      $file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
      $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file_name;
      move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);


      If you're buying third party hosting, sometimes they have a maximum
      file size which you'll want to watch out for.

          Is this how my uploader.php file should look? Does the function spcript
          go directly beneath the
          php code? Thanks

          <html>
          <head>
          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
          charset=ISO-8859-1">
          <title>Untitl ed Document</title>
          </head>
          // Where the file is going to be placed
          $target_path = "uploads/";

          /* Add the original filename to our target path.
          Result is "uploads/filename.extens ion" */
          $target_path = $target_path . basename(
          $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
          $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

          $uploaddir = './dir/';
          $file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
          $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file_name;
          move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
          <body>
          </body>
          </html>

              I think this is what you want:

              <?php
              $target_path = "./uploads/";
              $target_path = $target_path .
              basename($_FILE S['uploadedfile']['name']);
              move_uploaded_f ile($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path);
              ?>


              It's a php page, so you don't want any html output. I'm assuming the
              name of the files section of your form is "uploadedfi le". Also, the
              <form> tag should have the attribute
              action="whateve r_you_called_th is_file.php". You really should learn how
              these commands work using the PHP manual. Check out:


              PHP: move_uploaded_file - Manual
              http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
              Moves an uploaded file to a new location

              PHP: Handling file uploads - Manual
              http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
              Handling file uploads



              Both links offer great instruction and some tutorials.

                  Oh, and on my first example I forgot to close my first <form> tag with
                  the right bracket. Don't forget to close yours.
