NotionCommotion Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Try changing your form? <form action="uploader.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Upon further review, I see you are posting the URL and not the file, so the above isn't applicable. Why do you wish to do it your way? Also, you really want to allow the user to upload .exe files?

mac_gyver Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 file_get_contents($url) the settings that allow statements to read a file using a url are usually turned off. do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON so that php would be reporting and display any errors it detects?
