Upload problem

[jeff5656]

When I run this,

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Send File" />
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitBtn'])){




    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "../schedules/")) {
echo "The file: ".  basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']) . "has been uploaded";

    } else {
        echo "Upload failed!";
    }


}
?> 

 

I go to the schedules directory, and the file is not there even though I get the message:

 

The file: test.doc has been uploaded

You may wish to add an extra line into your form submission code like this :

 

<INPUT TYPE = "HIDDEN" NAME = "MAX_FILE_SIZE" VALUE = "1300000">

 

put it just before the type="file"  line

 

Also, view your source code to see what is being sent down to the browser in your <FORM> statement, check that it's OK.

 

Check your permissions on your /schedules/ subfolder, you may need to add more "write" permissions

 

Also, I think you need to specify more than just the subfolder in your upload statement, I think you need to specify the whole filename right down to the extension

 

try :

 

$final_file_name = '../schedules/' . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $final_file_name)) {    //  etc. etc. etc.

 

 

Lemme know if you tried all that and it doesn't work.

Yes, you're right - adding the full filename solved it. Thanks.

 

But I wish there was a way to screen an uploaded file for an HTML extension and it it exists, change it to .HTM.  I posted that in an earlier post but there was no solution.

Any ideas?  It "seems" simple enough but my knowledge of php is not quite good enough to pull that off!  :-)

[premiso]

$name =  basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

if (file_exists('../schedules/' . $name) && stristr($name, ".HTML")) {
    $ext = explode(".", $name);
    $name = str_replace($ext[1], 'HTM', $name);
}

$final_file_name = '../schedules/' . $name;

 

That should take care of that.

Thanks!  But a question: where does that go.  Is it before or after this section (or replace it):

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "../schedules/")) {
   echo "The file: ".  basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']) . "has been uploaded";

    } else {
        echo "Upload failed!";
    }
