[corillo181]

why isn't this code working?

<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){

$dir='image/';
$filename = $_FILES['ulfile']['name'];
$random = rand(0,9999999999);
$pos = strrpos($filename, '.');
$newname = $random . substr($filename, $pos);
$tmpname = $_FILES['ulfile']['tmp_name'];
$filesize = $_FILES['ulfile']['size'];
$filetype = $_FILES['ulfile']['type'];
$datetime = date('m-d-y h:i:s');
$filepath = $dir . $newname;
$result=copy($tmpname, $filepath);
if(!$result){
echo "not done";
}
}
?>

sure you set your enctype correctly in your form?

<form [...snip...] enctype="multipart/form-data">

<form action="ul.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="ul" id="ul">
<input type="file" name="imagefile">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

[JasonLewis]

you dont have to copy the tmp_name, cant u just copy the name?

[corillo181]

i tried it, with out the emp but i still get the same result.. no result at all..

[genericnumber1]

it worked for me :X it was named a string of numbers for the filename though, only change I made for my server was change $dir to match my directories... I had it all in one page

ul.php....

<form action="ul.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="ul" id="ul">
<input type="file" name="ulfile">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

[code=php:0]<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){

$dir='image/';
$filename = $_FILES['ulfile']['name'];
$random = rand(0,9999999999);
$pos = strrpos($filename, '.');
$newname = $random . substr($filename, $pos);
$tmpname = $_FILES['ulfile']['tmp_name'];
$filesize = $_FILES['ulfile']['size'];
$filetype = $_FILES['ulfile']['type'];
$datetime = date('m-d-y h:i:s');
$filepath = $dir . $newname;
$result=copy($tmpname, $filepath);
if(!$result){
echo "not done";
}
}
?>[/code]

[corillo181]

the action to make it wokr on the same page is
[code]<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>[/code]
right?


i dont know why is not working for me :|

[corillo181]

oh it did work if i put it in the same page.. but if is in different page it doesn't work..

[genericnumber1]

It works fine for me even if they are seperate....

IF your form is in like...
htdocs/uploadform.php

and your upload script is in like...
htdocs/scripts/ul.php

then you would need to do absolute directory listing to where you want to upload to (in your $dir string)
eg...
/home/local/apache2/htdocs/image/

This obviously is so because it's trying to upload to...
htdocs/scripts/image/
and that probably doesn't exist....


Another alternative is you didn't chmod 777 your upload directory?


Trying to go through all the alternatives.

[corillo181]

YEAH I FIXED SOME HOW.. I JUST TRIED TO UPLOAD A PIC AND IT WORKED BOTH WAYS NOW...

I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM BEFORE BECUASE THE CODE STILL THE SAME.. BUT THANX FOR THE HELP GUYS..

[genericnumber1]

All caps cuz you're excited, or because it's your 200th post o.o?

[corillo181]

lol well i didn't really notice it, but i think something inside of me is exicited about both.

i already make galleries and websites, but i wasn't working programing for a while and felt like coming back so i'm trying to ge tthe hang of it..
i guess i'll say both. :)
