new to uploading files...

[jodleren]

Well, I looked at an example from this group, tried it, and tried to
use it - but it does not work when I do it like this in PHP4.

<table>
<tr><td><inpu t type="file" name="newfile" size="25"></td></tr>
<tr><td><inpu t type="submit" name="sub_new" value="Upload"> </td></
tr>
</table></form>

and in the same file, but ealier:

if($_POST["sub_new"]!="")
{
print "<pre>";
print_r($HTTP_P OST_FILES);
echo "Uploading: ";
echo $HTTP_POST_FILE S['newfile']['name'];
$file=strtolowe r($HTTP_POST_FI LES['newfile']['name']);
$uploadfile = "../somwhere/".$file;
echo $uploadfile;
if (move_uploaded_ file($HTTP_POST _FILES['newfile']['tmp_name'],
$uploadfile))
echo "<font color=\"blue\"> $file uploaded.</font><p>";
}

I am never able to get the filename... why?

What's the opening form tag look like?

That is important...

Enctype is important.

Re: new to uploading files...

i had a similar problem in safari 2.0.3 resolved in 2.0.4
just close the tag files
<input type="file" name="newfile" size="25"/>

maybe like this
<form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="uploade r.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="100000" />
<input name="uploadedf ile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

Thanks. I asume that it does not stop me from checking other actions
in my form?
I cannot test yet :-)

Question: I see the MAX_FILE_SIZE, have seen it elsewhere.... any

Any other normal postvalue is just handled fine indeed.

from http://www.developershome.com/wap/wa....asp?page=php3

In the above HTML/XHTML code, the MAX_FILE_SIZE form field states that
the file to be uploaded should not be larger than 1048576 bytes. If a
browser supports this form field, it will not allow the user to choose a
file that is larger than 1048576 bytes. So, the user does not have to
wait for a file to upload to the server in order to find out whether it
is too large or not. However, at the time of writing, we cannot find any
WAP browsers that support the MAX_FILE_SIZE form field. Also, both IE 6
and Firefox 2.0 do not understand this form field.

try this
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">

New code, where is it transitioning from? New code should always be
strict...

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
</head>

Open the body tag here, <preis illegal in the <head>

<?
if (isSet($_POST['add'])) {
$uploaddir = '.';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILE S['file']['name']);
>
echo '<pre>';
if (is_uploaded_fi le($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) {
echo "file upload in " . $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] ."\n";
}
if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "File was NOT successfully uploaded.\n";
}

What about:
switch($_FILES['file']['error']){
case UPLOAD_ERR_OK:
echo 'upload was fine';
if(move_uploade d_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)){
echo 'file was succesfully moved';
} else {
echo 'file could not be moved to '.$uploadfile;
}
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_ SIZE:
echo 'file was bigger then allowed in php.ini';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM _SIZE:
echo 'file was bigger then allowed in MAX_FILE_SIZE in the form';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_PART IAL:
echo 'file was only partially uploaded';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_F ILE:
echo 'no file was uploaded';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_T MP_DIR:
echo 'no temporary folder to write upload to';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT _WRITE
echo 'problem writing file to disk';
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_EXTE NSION
echo 'file-upload stopped by extention';
break;
default:
echo 'Unknown error';
print_r($_FILES );
}

Seems a bit more informative.
