Ok, so basically I want it so that whenever someone uploads a file to my server, it makes a directory with a given name, and puts the file in the directory. If that wasn't clear, I'm sure you'll be able to figure what I mean after looking at my script. Anyway, the new directory part is working, but my file won't seem to upload. Script:
HTML PAGE:
<form action="/uploadScript.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="text" name="dirName" />
<br />
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="51200" />
<input type="file" name="fileUpload" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Create Directory" />
</form>

PHP PAGE:
<?
$dirName = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dirName'];
$slashName = "\apache2triad\htdocs\\" . $dirName;
mkdir($slashName, 0777);
print "Name: <font color='red'>".$HTTP_POST_FILES['fileUpload']['name']."</font><br>\n";
print "Size: <font color='red'>".$HTTP_POST_FILES['fileUpload']['size']."</font><br>\n";
if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['fileUpload']['tmp_name'])) {
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['fileUpload']['tmp_name'], $slashName);
print "<font color='red'><blink>Success!</blink></font>";
} else {
print "<font color='red'><blink>Error!</blink></font>";
}
?>

I think the problem lays in the move_ uploaded file() function. Any help is apperciated!

The problem is most likely to do with the slashName. If you're using Windows, it should be "C:\\Apache2Triad\htdocs\\"; if not, then the slashes are the wrong way round. And please, use [code] and [php] tags.

Sorry for not using the [code] tag, I'm still sort of new to these forums. The $slashName variable doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried both your suggestions, nothing seems to work. The directory is created fine, but no file is uploaded?

Can I ask where 'tmp_name' came from? I'm no expert on file-handling on PHP, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't see it anywhere else in your code.

$HTTP_POST_FILES['fileUpload']['tmp_name'] is a randomized name the your server temporarily gives the file that was uploaded. I'm not sure why it does that, but until you specify a place for the file to go, you need to refer to it by its temporary name.

I've been reading up on file uploads, and I've noticed that PHP provides an error code in the event of an error: $_FILES['fileUpload']['error']. Try printing that and finding out if it tells you what's happening. The error code list is at http://www.php.net/manual/en/feature...oad.errors.php.

Hello TCStyle,

I have found two important things on your code, that i think it is not correct.

First: as far as i know, we cannot use <input type='file'> and <input type='text'> as so easy... i forgot where is the description about it, but when i remark the line $dirName = $HTTP_POST..., then the filesize is in correct size.

Second: when we move uploaded file, we have to define the target filename, not just the target directory.

Here is work for me: (your code is remarked)
