I have no idea what is wrong in my codes,
and I got the following error message:
"Warning: Unable to open 'C:test.txt' for reading: No such file or directory in /www/upload.phtml on line 20"

here is my HTML and PHP codes:

(HTML code):

<FORM ACTION="upload.phtml" METHOD=POST ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000">
Submit this file: <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="userfile"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT><BR>

(PHP code):
<?php

if (copy($userfile, "../temp/$savefile")){
echo(" File Saved Successfully. ");
}
else {
echo (" Error, file cannot be saved.");
}

Hi,
From the error message I suppose you tried to upload a file to a windows machine (default "C:test"), or not?
When that is the case, be sure to add $userfile = stripslashes($userfile); before you do anything with it.

Let me know,

Hello PAV
thanks for your reply.
What I am doing now is to make
a homepage for a user uploading their files.

Then I put their files into a specified directory.

The webserver is running on a Linux machine.

umm...

ahh
I have no idea what to do next. Pls help.

How can you have a file on a Linux machine with a name of 'C:test.txt'?

Please give more info on the upload.phtml file, because I don't see a line 20. The part I can see looks OK.

Hello PAV, this is ccm using another account.

I think I have some mis-understanding on the function copy().

How does one send a file from a browser?
eg. sending a resume.txt to a job application website.

I though this HTML codes will do it:

<FORM ACTION="upload.phtml" METHOD=POST ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000">
Submit this file: <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="userfile"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>


where is the file $userfile go?
in a temp directory in a webserver?
How do I copy that file to a specified directory?
I thought copy($userfile, ..pathfilename) will do the trick....

Everything you say and want to do is right. The $userfile is stored on the default temp dir of your server. From there you have to copy it to the dir you want it to go.

The only strange thing I see is that you use a closing quote in the FORM definition, which is not opened?!

<FORM ACTION="upload.phtml" METHOD=POST ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data"> <---

Does this give the trouble, so that no file is sent?

Peter

Thanks PAV

Yeah, the missing " was the problem!
damn, i wasted 2 days time on such matter.
ahhh
hehe
thanks anyway.
