hi, ive got a file browser where the user selects which file they want to upload to the database, although i cant get selection the user chooses to be passed on so that the page requested is used! any help would be great thanks!

 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a question to upload: 
<input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
<label>
<input name="reset1" type="reset" id="reset1" value="Reset" />
</label>
</form>
<p> </p>

<?
$SelectedFile = $_POST['uploadedfile']; // 
echo '$SelectedFile' // echo the selected files name
?>

You can't use $_POST for uploaded files. You must use $_FILES. See

http://us2.php.net/features.file-upload

 

Also, you are using the max_file_size in your form, which is fine, but keep in mind this is a client-side check, and you should also verify the size in PHP following upload.

The MAX_FILE_SIZE in the form is not checked by the browser. No past or present browser has ever checked it. Php does check it if it is present and sets an error if the uploaded file is greater than the value -

 

UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE

Value: 2
