is_uploaded_file()

[RON_ron]

I'm using this to upload files to the server... sometimes files doesn't get uploaded. 

 

<?php
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])){

$uploadDirectory="uploads/";
$uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);

}
?>

if your uploading files, and im assuming you mean through HTTP POST then use move_uploaded_file()

[RON_ron]

ya... through HTTP POST.

 

no luck though??

 

<?php
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'])){

$uploadDirectory="uploads/";
$uploadFile=$uploadDirectory.basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);

}
?>

[phpSensei]

copy($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);

 

I ment that line of Code. Move_uploaded_file is a safer option as it requires the file to be a valid HTTP POST upload.

You have to check if the upload worked before you can attempt to access any of the uploaded file information. See these links -
