bulrush Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 First, my goals: - The user selects a text file on their local PC (or their local network drive) to process. - I want to read the file into an array and process it. I'm having trouble with this. Here is my code so far: <?php session_start(); $title='Import File v.10a'; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <?php echo '<title>'.$title.'</title>'; ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <?php require_once('navmenu.php'); echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>'; ?> <!-- comment --> <?php // Connect to the database $dbc = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database); $errcnt=0; $models=array(); //Init array $bullarr=array(); $model=''; $partname=''; $partsubname=''; $image=''; $ptype=''; //Product type in {type} tag. if (isset($_POST['cmdImport'])) //Save records that were changed. { $filename=$_POST['txtFilename']; //File on user's machine. $s='You are importing '.$filename; crDebug($s); //DEBUG if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['txtFilename']['tmp_name'], 'upload/')) { $filename=$_FILES['txtFilename']['name']; $s='Received '.$filename; crInfomsg($s); } else { $errmsg='File upload failed. Error is '.$_FILES['txtFilename']['error']; crError($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' line '.__LINE__,$errmsg,true); } if (!(file_exists($filename))) { $errmsg='File '.$filename.' does not exist. Cannot continue.'; crError($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' line '.__LINE__,$errmsg,true); } else { } } //if isset($_POST['cmdImport'] ?> <!--------------------------------------------------------> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?'.SID; ?>" method="post"> <hr/> <label for="cbxBrand">Pick one Brand</label> <?php $oldbrandarr=array(); //Init array. //Do query and loop here. //Show brands from zzbrands. $query = "SELECT bzz ". "FROM zzb ". "ORDER BY br ". ";"; //crInfomsg($query); //DEBUG crCreateSelect($query, 'cbxBrand', 'brand') ?> <p>Input file: <input type="file" name="txtFilename" id="txtFilename" value="" size="80" /> <br/><input type="submit" value="Import" name="cmdImport" /> </form> </body> </html> My problem is I get an error each time "File upload failed" which is displayed above when I try to do move_uploaded_file(). I'm not experienced processing text files. Can someone help me or point me to a website? One more thing, the subdir "upload" is located at the same level as this php file. That is where the uploaded files will go temporarily. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209678-how-to-upload-and-read-a-text-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The form tag needs an enctype attribute. Perhaps if you read the upload handling section in the php documentation first - http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209678-how-to-upload-and-read-a-text-file/#findComment-1094634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulrush Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thank you. I fixed it. MY code now looks like this: if (isset($_POST['cmdImport'])) //Save records that were changed. { $filename=$_POST['txtFilename']; //File on user's machine. $b=$_FILES['txtFilename']['name']; //$s='You are importing '.$_FILES['txtFilename']['tmp_name']; //$s.=', basename='.$b; //$s.=', txtFilename-name='.$_FILES['txtFilename']['name']; //crDebug($s); //DEBUG $dest='upload/'.$b; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['txtFilename']['tmp_name'], $dest)) { $filename=$_FILES['txtFilename']['name']; $s='Received '.$filename; crInfomsg($s); } else { $errmsg='File upload failed. Error is '.$_FILES['txtFilename']['error']; crError($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].' line '.__LINE__,$errmsg,true); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209678-how-to-upload-and-read-a-text-file/#findComment-1094687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
