manichean Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hello Yohan,Two mistakes as far as I can see[code]$uploaddir = 'c:\php\uploadtemp\IR'; //Needs to end with a trailing slash[/code]should be[code]$uploaddir = "c:\\php\\uploadtemp\\IR\\"; [/code][code]$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['Upload_File']['name']);move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Upload_File']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir); // Move the Uploaded file to the Incomming Folder//you are specifying the uploaddir instead of the uploadfile[/code]should be[code]$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['Upload_File']['name']);move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Upload_File']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile); // Move the Uploaded file to the Incomming Folder[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manichean Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Have you checked the size of the file you are trying to upload, and then compare it to the one that is uploaded ? Maybe you are uploading a 0 byte file.Try this, create a file called 1.txt on your desktop[b]1.txt[/b][code]Testing if the upload function is working[/code]Put these files in ur web directory [b]form.php[/b][code]<html><body><form action="post.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="Upload_File" type="file"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></form></body></html>[/code][b]post.php[/b][code]<?php$uploaddir = "";$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['Upload_File']['name']);move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Upload_File']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile); ?>[/code]This should upload the file 1.txt from your desktop, to the path of your webserver that contains the form.php and post.php page.Let me know if you are successfull. If not tell me the type of webserver you are running, the file type you are trying to upload and are you running php 4 >= 4.0.3 or php 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
