Hello, New to file upload boxes, working in PHP. My code seems to work great in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome. This form shows the input box for the filename in IE and Firefox (with a Browse button), but Chrome only shows the Browse button, no filename box. <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="profile.php"> <input type="file" size="32" name="image_field_photo" value=""> <br><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload"> IE will upload the file to the specified directory, then update the DB based on the filename. Firefox will not upload the file, nor will Chrome. Using SSL for all pages. Using an upload class I got off PHPClasses.org - what's weird is I have used this same class on another project, and can upload files via Chrome. Any ideas? Thanks! [attachment deleted by admin]

Thanks for the help. Good advice on both posts - what I did specifically for this GoDaddy Shared hosting was to: 1. Enable SSH access 2. Setup SFTP (good practice anyways) 3. That gave me access to the subfolders in my FTP client, and then I could put my db connect strings in a subfolder out of the HTML folder. Thanks!

Hello - I have usually run my own servers, and always drop my .php files with MYSQL connection strings in a directory like /var, with webroot being /var/www/mysite. I now find myself in a shared hosting environment for a client and wondering the safety of my connection string .php files. Unfortunately they are sitting in a folder in the root of my hosting directory right now, and they feel vulnerable. It seems the only thing I could do would be to put the root of my hosting into a subdirectory, point the site there, and then put my connection strings on directory back. But seems the problem is they are still in my shared hosting. What's the best way to secure this type of sensitive info in a shared environment? I'm also getting ready to explore credit card processing via an API, and wondering if shared hosting is even worth it. Thanks!!
