CroNiX Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's $_FILES, not $FILE. It's a superglobal, just like $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom8001 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got rid of the undefined variable error, but i'm still getting Notice: Undefined index: FileToUpload in C:\xampp\htdocs\uploadtut\upload.php on line 4 Notice: Undefined index: FileToUpload in C:\xampp\htdocs\uploadtut\upload.php on line 10 Warning: getimagesize(): Filename cannot be empty in C:\xampp\htdocs\uploadtut\upload.php on line 10 The file you are trying to upload is not a valid iamge.Sorry, We only allow jpg, png, jpeg and gif file types to be uploaded.

CroNiX Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's also not good to rely on checking the image extension to tell what kind of file it is. What if I just renamed "dangerous_script.php" to "pretty_picture.jpg" and uploaded it to your server? Since you just check to see if "jpg" is the file extension, it will accept it.

CroNiX Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Also, try putting enctype="multipart/form-data" in the <form> instead of <input> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
