Need a little help please.

I'm not here for a "How to" just need a bit of help to figure out "Why it isn't working"

 

I know my code is correct and name all variables and will build more once i get to simple work.

 

First i had it kinda work it uploaded a file but the name was the name of the folder so instead of

example:

$path = "/music";  // the folder in the same directory (yea i learned quick where it goes)
$path = $path.basename($filename); // file name example.jpg or something

instead i got the output

music  <-- yea no extension

 

and after i tried to figure out what i did wrong it stop working completely but it successfully uploaded the file and everything..

 

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//file variables  put in another file so it can be sperate
//path to the folder where the data will be sent
$filepath = "\music";
//// file path and basename example.wmv so its (uploaded_music/example.wmv)
$filepath = $filepath . basename($filename);
/// file size  and type
$readsize = $_FILES["upload"]["size"];
$readtype = $_FILES["upload"]["type"];
// name of the data being uploaded
$filename = $_FILES["upload"]["name"];
$filetemp = $_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"];  


/// the uploader itself and the checker
$uploaderLine = move_uploaded_file($filetemp , $filepath);

?>
<div class="video">
<?php
if($uploaderLine == true)
{
	echo "The File: <b>".basename($filename)."</b> has been uploaded successfully. \n <br/>";
	echo "The size is: <b>".calculatebytes($readsize)."</b> and the limit is 50MB.";
                echo "<br/>".ceil($readsize/100);
                //display image if not an image don't display it
                echo "<br/> <img src=\"\music\\".basename($filename)."\" border=\"0\">";
        }
else
{
	echo "Sorry something went wrong with the file: <b>".basename($filename)."</b> , please try again.<br/>Errors Number: <b>".$_FILES["upload"]["error"]."</b>";
	echo "<br/>The size is: <b>".$readsize."</b> and the limit is 50MB. <br/>";
                echo $readsize." - File Size<br/>";
                echo "52428800 - Limit \n <br/>";
}



	 ?>

unless there is more code that you did not show, you are trying to use the $filename before you assign the value to it.  move those $filepath assignments down below the $filename assignment and you should be good to go.

i fixed it , i thought i corrected that but whatever , it still says  its uploaded successfully but nothing.

 

here is what it looks like now.

//file variables  put in another file so it can be sperate
//path to the folder where the data will be sent
$filepath = "\music";
/// file size  and type
$readsize = $_FILES["upload"]["size"];
$readtype = $_FILES["upload"]["type"];
// name of the data being uploaded
$filename = $_FILES["upload"]["name"];
$filetemp = $_FILES["upload"]["tmp_name"]; 
//// file path and basename example.wmv so its (uploaded_music/example.wmv)
$filepath = $filepath.basename($filename);



/// the uploader itself and the checker
$uploaderLine = move_uploaded_file($filetemp,$filepath);

?>
<div class="video">
<?php
if($uploaderLine == true)
{
	echo "The File: <b>".basename($filename)."</b> has been uploaded successfully. \n <br/>";
	echo "The size is: <b>".calculatebytes($readsize)."</b> and the limit is 50MB.";
                echo "<br/>".ceil($readsize/100);
                //display image if not an image don't display it
                ?>
                <br/> <img src="<?php echo "music/".$filename; ?>" border="0"/>
                <?php
        }
else
{
	echo "Sorry something went wrong with the file: <b>".basename($filename)."</b> , please try again.<br/>Errors Number: <b>".$_FILES["upload"]["error"]."</b>";
	echo "<br/>The size is: <b>".$readsize."</b> and the limit is 50MB. <br/>";
                echo $readsize." - File Size<br/>";
                echo "52428800 - Limit \n <br/>";
}



	 ?>
	 <br/>
     <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     item uploader:
     <input type="file" name="upload">
     <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="52428800">
     <input type="submit" name ="fileupload" value="Upload"><br/>
     </form>

     </div>

 

oh and by the way , i can't find the edit button where that bloody thing go? i don't want to repost the whole code and everything constantly, rather then just edit the post .
