File upload

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for some code to be able to upload files to a server. Have found something on this site, but it's way to in-depth for what I need. All I'm looking for is a single field for the file name with a browse button, and then an upload button. Nothing more than this ie. no validation etc.
Does something simple like this exist?

TIA

[code]
<?php
   if (!$file) {
      $form = "select a file to upload, biatch!<br>";
      $form.="<form action='$PHP_SELF' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>";
      $form.="   <input type='file' name='file' size='50'><br>";
      $form.="   <input type='submit' value='upload file!'>";
      $form.="</form>";
   } elseif ($file_name !=" ") {
      copy ("$file","$file_name") or die("could not upload your shit, man");
      $form ="File upload succeeded...<br>";
      $form.="<ul><li>sent: ".$file_name;
      $form.="<li>size: ".$file_size;
      $form.="<li>type: ".$file_type;
   } else {
      $form = "unknown error.";
   }
   echo $form;
?>
[/code]

Wow thanks!

2 things:
1. Where do I specify a folder called "trailers" to upload to?
2. I get an error message "Warning: copy(asoutput.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/www/users/muizenj/test.php on line 17" when I press the upload button. Is this related to my question 1 possibly.

The upload form uploads the file to a temporary directory, which is why [a href=\"http://www.php.net/copy\" target=\"_blank\"]copy()[/a] is used to transfer it to where you want it. The second parameter is where to copy to. Make sure this location exists, and is writeable.

If register_global isn't on, you can't use the $file or $file_name variable. You should use $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] and $_FILES['file']['name'] etc..

[code]<?php
   $location = "/path/to/trailers";
   if (!$_FILES['file']['tmp_name']) {
      $form = "select a file to upload, biatch!<br>";
      $form.="<form action='$PHP_SELF' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>";
      $form.="   <input type='file' name='file' size='50'><br>";
      $form.="   <input type='submit' value='upload file!'>";
      $form.="</form>";
   } elseif($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] != "none") {
      copy ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $location.$_FILES['file']['name']) or die("could not upload your shit, man");
      $form ="File upload succeeded...<br>";
      $form.="<ul><li>sent: ".$_FILES['file']['name'];
      $form.="<li>size: ".$_FILES['file']['size'];
      $form.="<li>type: ".$_FILES['file']['type'];
   } else {
      $form = "upload failed";
   }
   echo $form;
?>[/code]

Edit: mistakes
