Martinfin Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 This is what I basically got... <?php // upload.php echo <<<_END <html><head><title>PHP Form Upload</title></head><body> <form method='post' action='upload.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'> Select File: <input type='file' name='filename' size='10' /> <input type='submit' value='Upload' /> </form> _END; if ($_FILES) { $name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $name); echo "Uploaded File '$name'<br /><img src='$name' />"; } echo "</body></html>"; ?> What I am wanting to do with this is: Make the file go directly in my Folder called "Files" but instead it goes directly in the main htdocs folder.... Can anyone help me understand how to alter this to make it go to the files folder?? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 add "/files/". to name. like so $name = "/files/".$_FILES['filename']['name']; or wait do this instead: $name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; $folder = "/files/".$_FILES['filename']['name']; move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $folder); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinfin Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 add "/files/". to name. like so $name = "/files/".$_FILES['filename']['name']; or wait do this instead: $name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; $folder = "/files/".$_FILES['filename']['name']; move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $folder); I appreciate your help me but when I added this it still goes to the same place like nothing was even changed. Look to see if I messed it up if you don't mind... <?php // upload.php echo <<<_END <html><head><title>PHP Form Upload</title></head><body> <form method='post' action='upload.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'> Select File: <input type='file' name='filename' size='10' /> <input type='submit' value='Upload' /> </form> _END; if ($_FILES) { $name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; $folder = "/files/".$_FILES['filename']['name']; move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $folder); } echo "</body></html>"; ?> Also I'm assuming you could try this out.. If so, Let me know if it worked for you and if it did.. maybe I just have no idea what I'm doing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinfin Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Well, This did help... No more errors. But, I get -> "No file chosen" hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemicalBliss Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Where are you getting that from? Try uploading a file again, a small file, a .txt file or something. If the code you posted earlier worked for you then this should too, your original post should be changed: $name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; to $name = './files/'.$_FILES['filename']['name']; -cb- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
