Krismmm Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi there, im trying to build a file upload form something like this just simple HTML, <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>File Uploading Interface</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER> <BR><BR> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" NAME=MyForm ACTION=submit.php METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="command" VALUE="1"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD>Choose File</TD> <TD><INPUT NAME="MyFile" TYPE="File"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN="2"><INPUT NAME="submit" VALUE="Upload" TYPE="submit"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </FORM> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML> But please not i do not wish to upload a file only grab the File location e.g 'C:\Temp\File1.csv' there is never actually a file uploaded. so i got the UI no problems, however im not sure if i want to be using a POST method, my ultimate goal is to use the browse button, select a file to be uploaded pass it as a string and use the php function to change my windows slashes \ to php slashes / and just pass the whole field e.g (C:\temp\file1.csv) then (C:/temp/file1.csv) as a variable to some code that reads each line of a CSV file that i have made and that requries the file location. So if all of this happens on one page this is fine i dont need to go to another page however a message "Upload complete" for example would be excellent.

cooldude832 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 All uploaded files go in to a temp folder with a random Hash as a file name. You can then open said file using File handlers and I believe said file is destroyed outta the temp folder after X time. Otherwise take the file say it using a random number hash to a temp folder then open said file take what you need and make a server script to auto clean temp folder every night Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53342-file-upload/#findComment-263625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
