do you just want a form where users can upload there picture?

[pixeltrace]

form where they can upload the picture and resume

then the resume will be saved in a specific folder into the server.

let say "resumes" and have the filename renamed

let say from myresume.doc to jobID001.doc

 

is this possible?

thanks in advance!

[JJohnsenDK]

yes it is possible.. i just need to know if you know how to make the file upload form your self or?

 

In the mather of chancing the document name you could use preg_replace() function...

[pixeltrace]

actually i dont have any idea and i haven't tried it yet

the last form that i did was just a sendmail form

wherein the fields are just text field, text area and radio buttons

 

with regards to attachment i haven't tried yet and

i dont know how.

 

hope you could help me with this.

 

thanks in advance!

Hi,

You will have to make your file form to this format and provide enctype attribute just as i have provided below.

 

and a field of file type, this is the field through which actual uploading will take place.

 

<form action="submit.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

 

<input name="resume" type="file" />

<input type = "submit" value="submit">

</form>

 

and you can add all your required fields in this form.

 

on the page where you will submit your form. add the code below

 

//set this to the directory where files will be uploaed

$uploaddir = '/home/test/resumes';

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['resume']['name']);

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['resume']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

    echo "File is uploaded.";

} else {

    echo "File could not be uploaded";

}

hi,

 

thanks for the help,

with regards to my previous question also,

how will i rename the resume file in the submit php page?

ex. myresume.doc to jobID000101.doc

 

thanks!

[skali]

 

You can use the $uploadfile variable to any name that you want in the code below. And this will be the name of the file which will be saved on the server.

 

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['resume']['name']);

 

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['resume']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

    echo "File is uploaded.";

} else {

    echo "File could not be uploaded";

}
