i cannot get this variable to work in the script

[madspof]

i have the variable of the folder name save in $namecookie which belongs to a upload script that is built of js and php and i want to put that variable in the copy($file['tmp_name'],"./$namecookie/".$file['name']); as you can see i think that is correct but when i run the script it does nt upload the file

 

<?php

include "../status.php";

$cookie_info = explode("-", $_COOKIE['cookie_info']);

$namecookie = $cookie_info[0];

foreach ($_FILES as $file) {

copy($file['tmp_name'],"./$namecookie/".$file['name']);

}

 

Has anyone any ideas

Have you tried echo'ing $namecookie to see what it contains? Also, you really ought to be using move_uploaded_file() instead of copy(). Why do you want to copy the file?

i no have this code but i am sill having no look  this is a bit advnaced for me and i dont think i am doing th right thing with the echo here:

 

<?php

include "../status.php";

$cookie_info = explode("-", $_COOKIE['cookie_info']);

$namecookie = $cookie_info[0];

foreach ($_FILES as $file) {

copy($file['tmp_name'],"./echo $namecookie/".$file['name']);

}

 

?>

no you need to put echo like this:

 

foreach ($_FILES as $file) {

  echo $namecookie;

  copy($file['tmp_name'],"./echo $namecookie/".$file['name']);

}

woops forgot:

 

and delete this /echo $namecookie/

 

<?php

include "../status.php";

$cookie_info = explode("-", $_COOKIE['cookie_info']);

$namecookie = $cookie_info[0];

foreach ($_FILES as $file) {

  echo $namecookie

  copy($file['tmp_name'], $file['name']);

}

 

?>

foreach ($_FILES as $file) {
   echo $namecookie;
   copy($file['tmp_name'],$namecookie.$file['name']);
}
