I don't see what's wrong with this uploading of a file...

[Crash2108]

This scrupt is to upload a file, and as far as I can tel, and all of the examples around uploading, there is nothing wrong with it.  But it doesn't work and can't move the file.

if(!$_POST==NULL || $_POST=='') {
$new_name = $_POST['name'].$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
  if ( $_FILES['userfile']['size'] > $MAX_SIZE) 
    {$message = "The file size is over 2MB.";}
else
{
$message = 'done';

    copy ($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $new_name) 
    or die ("Could not copy"); 
//move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $new_name);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO cart_products VALUES ('$_POST[name]', $_POST[price], '$_POST[desc]', '')");
}
}

as far as I know the name of the file you wish to copy it to, requires a file extension so copy knows what type of file to save it to such as

 

<?php
$file = 'example.txt';
$newfile = 'example2.txt'; //without the full filename and extension it wont copy

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
    echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
?> 

 

so you need to append a file extension to your $new_name such as .jpeg or some such whatever the file may be

I tried that, it didn't work.  I tried PHP.net's upload example, that didn't work.  I tried another upload script I had, and it finally gave me some information I could use.  It was simply another stupid error that wastes a couple hours of your life.

 

I forgot to give that directory permissions to change files...

 

I have to go back and backtrack all of the different codes I tried and try to get the best one working for my project and make up for lost time now...

I think this is something that causes you some error

 

 

//move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $new_name);

 

=====$new_name======

this variable should a location or a folder that the uploaded file should go

rest are still confuse me maybe you try this first and ask me if there's still error
