File upload path.

[TutorMe]

I followed a tutorial in which I ended up with the following code:

<?
$uploadNeed = $_POST['uploadNeed'];
// start for loop
for($x=0;$x<$uploadNeed;$x++){
$file_name = $_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['name'];
// strip file_name of slashes
$file_name = stripslashes($file_name);
$file_name = str_replace("'","",$file_name);
$copy = copy($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'],$file_name);
// check if successfully copied
if($copy){
echo "$file_name | uploaded sucessfully!<br>";
}else{
echo "$file_name | could not be uploaded!<br>";
}
} // end of loop
?>

 

I am trying to use this code in the directory mysite.com/admin, but I want it to upload files to mysite.com.

 

I just can't seem to find the place to specify the directory.  As of now, it uploads to the directory where it is located.

 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I'm sorry, but I cannot figure out exactly what to do with it.

 

I have added:

bool move_uploaded_file ( string $file_name, string $destination );

 

I tried it in multiple places, but couldn't get it to work.  Do you think you could tell me where to put it in my script, and if I'm even using the right syntax?

 

EDIT: I did add the destination variable:

$destination = "../uploads"

<?php
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadFile'. $x]['tmp_name'], $destination)){
     echo 'File uploaded succesfully';
} else{
     echo 'Did not upload';
}
?>

 

And yep it should work with relative paths '../'.

You just copied and pasted the docs. You didn't actually write new code.

bool is what type it returns, strings are what you send it. You don't just C&P without understanding
