file uploading problem

[ganesanji]

hi all,

I have written a php coding for uploading a file to a specific folder or location in
server which is a Linux server. I think the coding for file uploaing is correct.
But it does not work properly. That means the file is not uploaded to the specified location. It always executes the "else" condition in my coding.
I think the problem is lieing in the specifed path which is the target path for file uploading. I could not find out the solution for that. Please any body help me...

I attached the coding below.......
[php]
<form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" enctype="multip art/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_ SIZE" value="20000" />
Names file: <input type="file" name="myfile">
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="UploadFi le" class="butt">
</form></center>

if($_POST)
{
$path = '/var/www/uploads/';
$path .= $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
$_SESSION['path']=$path;
if(move_uploade d_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],$path))
{
echo "Successful ly uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Uploading Error";
}
}
?>
[/php]
In this coding it always executes "Uploading Error".....

Any body help me....
I will greatfull for you.........tha nks....

Hi,

have you looked at php.net? Here you will find examples of how to cope with the $_FILE.

Start here, I know it's not that difficult.

Hmmm...

Is that supposed to be a comma? - in the if statement..?

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],$path))
                                                 //^ comma?
 

I'm thinking it should be a fullstop :)

ganesanji: Next time enclose any code within the proper code tags.
