Flava17 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've been working with PHP for a while and come across a problem.My web server doesn't allow me to use variables across pages, unless I use $file = $_REQUEST['file'];This isn't a problem - however when I try to use a <input type="file" name="img"> type for a form, I cannot seem to request the variables sent. I want to use this for an upload form - and PHP should create the variables $img_size, $img_name, $img_type automatically. However it does not.I cannot edit php.ini as I think it's on my hosts server, which I can't access?? I'm not too sure.. This is the script that I have quickly made:[b]<?$img = $_REQUEST['img'];$img_name = $_REQUEST['img_name'];echo($img);echo($img_name);?><br><br><form method="POST" action="test.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="file" name="img"><br><br><input type="submit" value="Go!"></form>[/b]Any help would be appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logu Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi, You should use $_FILE['file'] to get itin HTML form tag you can useenctype='multipart/form-data' to get all the informations clearly<form enctype='multipart/form-data' method=''>Regards..

I already used the enctype attribute by the way. If you could tell me how to retrieve $img_name, $img_size .etc that'd be great :)Nevermind I got it to work using:$img_name = $_FILES['img']['name'];Thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
