[SOLVED] HTML form to PHP File uploader

[spikypunker]

Hey Guys, im developing an online video showcase site, this is an extension of our main website. I've used a simple php file uploader before and am wondering if it would work in the same way nowadays due to global variables being turned off most servers?

 

The method i would try would be:

 

<?php

if((!empty($_FILES["uploaded_file"])) && ($_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == 0)) {
  
  $filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
  $ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
  if (($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") && 
    ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["size"] < 350000)) {
    
      $newname = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload/'.$filename;
      
      if (!file_exists($newname)) {
        
        if ((move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'],$newname))) {
           echo "It's done! The file has been saved as: ".$newname;
        } else {
           echo "Error: A problem occurred during file upload!";
        }
      } else {
         echo "Error: File ".$_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]." already exists";
      }
  } else {
     echo "Error: Only .jpg images under 350Kb are accepted for upload";
  }
} else {
echo "Error: No file uploaded";
}
?>

 

Am i right in thinking this would not work anymore??

Any help muuuuch apperciated )

$_FILE is a super global, they are not effected (correct me if I am wrong).

 

But looking over your code I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

haha genius, you're right it does work!

 

Well what a waste of everybodies time! lol sorry guys!

 

But at least this shows other people how to do a simple php uploader, and also that Super Global variables are still allowed on servers! I've learnt something anyway

 

Cheers man.
