    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="10000000 00">
    <input type=file name=fupload>

    </HTML>
    ---- up.html ----


    ---- up.php ----
    <HTML><BODY>
    <?php
    echo "main hi $fupload<BR>";
    if( isset($fupload) ){
    echo "isset found hi $fupload_name<B R>";

      Re: file upload not showing up in /tmp linux

      Hi Jim,

      How PHP handle's uploaded files is quite different to normal variable
      submission (which isn't mentioned in the PHP documentation very well).

      $fupload won't be a variable containing the contents of the file you've
      uploaded, but an array of file information in the global $_FILES array
      (I don’t code PHP with global variables on).

      So for:

      <FORM method="POST" enctype="multip art/form-data" action="./up.php">
      <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="10000000 00">
      <input type="file" name="fupload">
      <INPUT type="submit">
      </form>

      To check if a person has selected a file, and submitted, then print the
      file contents out, you would require the following PHP (for example).

      <?php

      //
      // Check if a file has attached ('none' needed for IE compatability)
      //
      if ( (!empty($_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name']) ) &&
      $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'] != 'none' )
      {

      $file_content = addslashes(frea d(fopen($_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'],
      'r'), filesize($_FILE S['fupload']['tmp_name']) )); // Read File

      echo $file_content; // Echo it

      }
      else
      {
      echo 'No file was submitted';
      }

      ?>

      Btw, $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'] returns the name/path of the file as
      it's temporarily stored on the servers FS, so having a

      echo $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];

      would return something like

      /tmp/php8329x9

      Ovbiously in the $_FILES['fupload'], the 'fupload' corresponds to the
      name of the form file bit in your form, so you could have multiple
      uploads on the one form with $_FILES['fuploadwhateve r'],
      $_FILES['fupload3'] etc.. corresponding to a:

      <input type="file" name="fupload3" >
      <input type="file" name="fuploadwh atever">


      Hope this helps.
