PHP Drop box and uploader

[Wildfires]

Im trying to make an uploader that uploads pdf files to the server but selects the folder based on a username selected from a drop box, but i don't really know what im doing and could really do with your guys help.

 

I have this so far:

 

Uploader.php

 

<?php 
$folder = $_POST['folder'];
if ($folder == '$username') {
$target_path = "invoices/$username/";
}
?>
<?php
// Add the original filename to image target_path
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadfile']['name']); 
$_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'];  
// check if the file is an image file
if ($_FILES['uploadfile']['type'] == "pdf" || $_FILES['uploadfile']['type'] == "xps"){ 
   // the file is an image
   if (file_exists($target_path)) { 
   	echo "The file already exists<br>"; 
 echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"2; URL=?x=admin\">";
 exit();}
// move uploaded image  from tempory location into folder, display message if successfull
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The upload of: ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadfile']['name']). 
    " Was sucessfull<br><br>";
echo "File Name: ".$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']."<br>";
echo "File Size: ".$_FILES['uploadfile']['size']." bytes<br>";
echo "File Type: ".$_FILES['uploadfile']['type']."<br>";
echo "File location: assets/$folder/".$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']."<br>";
if ($folder !== 'categories'){
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"4; URL=?x=upload_image_$folder\">";
}else {
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"4; URL=?x=category_management\">";
}
} else{
    echo "there was an error uploading!";
if ($folder !== 'categories'){
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"2; URL=?x=upload_image_$folder\">";
}else {
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"2; URL=?x=category_management\">";
}	
};
}  else {echo "This filetype is not allowed!";
if ($folder !== 'categories'){
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"2; URL=?x=upload_image_$folder\">";
}else {
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"2; URL=?x=category_management\">";
}
};
?>

 

upload.php

 

$sql = "SELECT username, FROM users";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
$username = ['username'];
}
?>
<p><form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="?x=uploader" method="post">
  <select name="newsletter2" class="textinput">
    <option value="1" selected><?php echo ['username'] ?>  </option>
      </select>
</p>
<input name="uploadfile" type="file" class="textinput"/>
<input name="folder" type="hidden" value="" class="textinput"/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload" class="input"/>
</form>
<br />
<br />
<a href=''>Back</a> To Admin Panel

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I will give this a go asap.  Thank you very much for the help.  Will let you know if it works.

I tested it, but i can't actually see where the file is being uploaded to?

 

And there isnt any message to say that is has been uploaded.

 

I want the uploader to upload files to a directory called http://.../invoices/*username*

 

Thanks again.

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("database name",$con);
$upload="D:/xampp/htdocs/practice/uploa/";
$sql = "SELECT username FROM users";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if($_POST["submit"]=='Upload')
{
$upload_dir = "path to upload folder";
$filename = $upload_dir.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name'];

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $upload_dir.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name'])) {
     
      echo "Stored in: " . $upload_dir .$_FILES["uploadfile"]["name"];
     }
}
