how can i make a upload field? Like on a page, a imput box, with a browse button, when you push submit it uploads whats in the imput box onto your server. ???? please help.

Well the HTML is quite simple, but the php code to acutally upload and store the file is way more complex. The html looks like:

[code]
        <form name="f" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="'.  $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] .'" method="POST">
          <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="true">
          <input type="hidden" name="language" value="en">
          <strong>Upload Image:</strong><input name="'. $upload_file_name .'" type="file" size="48">
          <input type="button" value="Upload Image" name="submitbutton" onClick="check(this.form)">
[/code]

Again, the PHP code is much more complex. I can assist further, please send me a Private Message, I have an upload class script I wrote that is quite solid and works well.

i tried to Pm you put it says im not allowed to send personal messages. could you post a link to the script here?

Well the script I wrote I don't freely distrubte. Would you be intested in paying for it.  Very cheap, only $20 and I'll help you install and configure it. It allows you to set allowed file extensions, max file size, and max width and height for images. Robust!

<?php
// variables
$ftpServer = "hostAddress";
$ftpUser = "userID";
$ftpPass = "password";
$finalDir = '/httpdocs/km/tmp/';
$finalFile = $finalDir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$sourceFile = $_FILES['source_file']['tmp_name'];

// Connect and echo result
$ftpConn = ftp_connect("$ftpServer");
$ftpResult = ftp_login($ftpConn, $ftpUser, $ftpPass);
ftp_pasv($ftpConn, true);
if ((!$ftpConn) || (!$ftpResult))
echo "Connection failed<br><br>";
else
echo "Connection succeeded<br><br>";

// upload the file
$ftpUpload = ftp_put($ftpConn, $finalFile, $sourceFile, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$ftpUpload)
echo "FTP upload has failed!";
else
echo "Uploaded $sourceFile to $ftpServer as $finalFile";

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($ftpConn);
?>

markbett: Thats certainly a quick and dirty.

never asked for fancy and free = quick and dirty... anyways its a starting point ... they can customize for their own needs
