betterphp Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 the second parameter should be the full location of the new file, including its name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Uploaded file information is in $_FILES, not $_POST and given that your $_POST array has something in it suggests that your form doesn't have the correct enctype= parameter in it.

matthew9090 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 thanks guys that really helped but 1 more thing is that i downloaded a flash game then it came with a html page set up so i clicked it and the game played fine but when i put the flash file into my website through the form it comes up with the exact same html code apart from the directory (which should be right) and comes up as a white box. downloaded <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="640" height="480"> <param name="movie" value="firstflight.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="firstflight.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="480"> </embed> </object> mine <object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0' width='640' height='480'> <param name='movie' value='firstflight.swf'> <param name='quality' value='high'> <embed src='games/flash/firstflight.swf' quality='high' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='640' height='480'> </embed> </object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The simplest problems when displaying images/videos/music is that the path is incorrect, so 1) verify you have the correct path; 2) verify that the swf is, infact , in the proper folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
