is_uploaded_file problem

[robert_gsfame]

i have a this script

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1],$path1);

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1])){

echo "Upload successful";}

 

i get file that has been uploaded inside upload folder but i dont know why the echo "Upload successful" didnt appear

 

thx

Because you move it from spot X to spot Y, and then check spot X to see if it is there (which it isn't).    Try:

 

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1])){
   if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'][1],$path1)) {
      echo "Upload successful";
   }
}

thx a lot it works...but i still confused  :confused:

 

Is it true that is_uploaded_file used to check whether the file has been successfully uploaded??

 

if it is, then logically we have to upload the file first into the upload folder before check it....could you give me some explanation for this.... i always use copy() n wish to learn how to use move_uploaded_file as it is much safer

Why don't you just read the php.net documentation to find out what it does do - is_uploaded_file
