How can I upload a user selected file without enabling allow_url_fopen?

[FalseProphet]

I need a way a user can upload a file onto my website(it's a shared site, I believe, but I own the domain), I've tried using the cURL library but it seems a bit over my head at the moment. And everything I tried with it would not result in a file being uploaded into any folder.

 

What can I do what I need? I've searched around and never found anything that worked for me.

allow_url_fopen & curl have nothing to do with file uploading. I also refuse to believe that a Google search of 'php file upload' produced no results for you when I get over 33 million results, with this being the very first one.

It's good that you refuse to believe this since I never said any such thing. I simply said that it produced nothing that would work for me(out of my own stupidity, probably as I am still very new to web development).

 

I receive this warning whenever I use move_uploaded_file:

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

 

Which is why I added allow_url_fopen in my topic. I thought the two were correlated together.

Post some relevant code.

I tried the tizag code and it worked just fine. 

The code I was using was near identical except I wasn't using basename(). 

I think my problem was CHMOD in the folder not being set by filezilla(it seems to take several attempts to get it to set..).
