[SOLVED] $_FILES array

[mechedd]

Ok,

 

I just started experimenting with PHP today.  My goal right now is to have people be able to upload files to my website, but I am starting at square one. 

 

I can make a .php print out the name of the file by calling it with $_POST.  When I try to access the $_FILES array it does not work.  I want to print out the file name and type using $_FILES["file"]["name"] and $_FILES["file"]["type"] by using echo, but it just shows up blank.

 

What is happening?

You have a form element set up the following way?

 

<input name="file" type="file" />

 

Also try...

 

echo $_FILES['file']['error'];

 

Need to see some code to provide much more help then that.

I got it to work!

 

I just had to add

 

enctype="multipart/form-data"

to the <form> tag.

 

Thanks for your help!
