    Help with uploading a file...

    Hi, I need some assistance again...

    I have a simple upload form from manual that goes like this:

    <form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="list.ph p" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="100000">
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
    <input type="submit" value="Send File">
    </form>

    list.php then searches "/upload" and lists all the files found in there.

    Now, what I need is to tell it where to upload a file :)
    By default, tutorial says, files are in /var/www/tmp.
    My web server doesn't even have this directory.
    I tried doing some search in various tmp folders but found none of the
    uploaded files. I expected it to see in the directory from which I
    executed the form.. but... umm... no. Nothing there as well.

    Just whem I was about to to phpinfo(); to search for the patch for
    storing temp uploaded files server crashed... damn shared hosting.
    So I have to wait for admins to bring it back online...

    By the way, I can't try 'move_uploaded_ file($_FILE['something'...
    because the PHP version installed is not > or == 4.1.0 :((
    I think it's 4.0.6 but I don't think it's that important.
    Suggested solution was "$HTTP_UPLOADED _FILE" if I recall right...
    .... but that failed to work for me as well :((

    Anyone has any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Six


    P.S. I was just trying to make a simple file upload script. Nothing
    fancy. Just to allow several people to send something to me via web...

      The location where the file is stored is saved in
      $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'].

      To copy the file from this temporary directory to another location do this:
      copy($_FILE['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'C:\' . $_FILE['userfile']['name']);

      The file which is located at $_FILE['userfile']['tmp_name'] is deleted
      after the script ends.

          Please take a look at the part of my original post:[color=blue][color=green]

          :(
          But thanks for trying to help.

          Bay the way, I found the almost perfect solution at
          http://www.maaking.com/index.php?loadpage=scripts


          I acutally had to change only one single lettes, but that was the buggy
          part that was driving me mad :) LOL I guess develeoper didn't test the
          script onder PHP < 4.1.0 :)
