file upload script problem...

[rsammy]

hi,

 

i am trying to upload a file (any file) to a server (in this case, my local machine). i have created two php files (named main.php and upload.php). i launch main.php and it lets me browse for a file. i select a file, say abc.txt and then click on the Upload button.

 

at this point, what it does is, throw up a dialog box asking me if I want to open or save this file (upload.php) with Open, Save and Cancel buttons. When I click Open. it opens upload.php file in notepad/editpad. if i click Save, it lets me choose a folder to save this file for me.

 

however, this is not what i want it to do. i would like it to save the file i chose initially (abc.txt) in a locaion i choose and i should not be worried about my upload.php script file.

 

here is the code in my upload.php file:

<?php
alert "HERE";
//$web = 'c:/wamp/uploads/'; // path under webroot
$web = 'c:/wamp/www/'; // path under webroot
$destination =$_FILES['updfile']['name'];


if ($_POST['btn'] == "Upload")
{
	if(empty($_POST['userid'])) //Check for User ID
	{
		echo "User ID should not be Blank!!<br/>";
	}
	else
	{
		$uploaddir = $web."".$_POST['userid'];
		if(!is_dir($uploaddir)) // Check for existing directory else create new dir for the user
		{
			mkdir($uploaddir);
		}

	$uploadfile = $uploaddir."/".basename($destination);

    	if(isset($_FILES['updfile']['tmp_name']))
    	{
		if(($_FILES['updfile']['error'] == 0) && !empty($_FILES['updfile']) && !file_exists($uploadfile))
    		{
   			if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['updfile']['tmp_name'],$uploadfile))
   			{
	  			echo "File Uploaded Successfully!!!<br/>";
			}
		}
    		else
       		echo "File Upload Failed";
	}
	}
}
?>

<form>
<table border ="0">
<tr>
<td> List of Filenames : </td>
<td> <select name="filenames" id="fields" >
<?php

if ($dh = opendir($uploaddir))
{
	while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
	{
		$options = NULL;
		$options.= '<option value="'.$file.'">'.$file.'</option>'."\n";
		echo $options;
	}
	closedir($dh);
}
?>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
