Reading data from HTTP POST method

270 Contributor

Hello,
I'm beginner to php (actually i'm java/jsp developer),
What i'm trying to do is Accept parameters from the HTML file and write them to a newly created file using php,
I wrote following script but it doesn't work,

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?php
 
$uploaddir = '/var/www/vhosts/nitinsawant.com/subdomains/httpdocs/files/';

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
 
echo '<pre>';

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

    echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";

} else {

    echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";

}
 
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';

print_r($_FILES);
 
print "</pre>";
 
?>

for passing parameters to the php script I'm using following HTML file,
post.html

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html> 

<head>Post data...</head> 

<body> 

<form action="post.php" method="POST"> 

ID: <input type="text" name="ID"/><br/>

Data: <textarea cols=35 rows=15 name="data"></textarea> 

<br/> 

<br/> 

<input type="submit" value="submit" /> 

</form> 

</body> 

</html>

I want to create file named "ID" at server side and append the "data" to the file.

help me.

regards,
Nitin Sawant

Check out the file system functions, namely fopen(), fwrite() and fclose().

Also, you are not submitting files via your form so using $_FILES is pointless. You need to be using $_POST.

For file uploads to work, your html form should have enctype attribute set to multipart/form-data. Like this:

<form action="post.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >

Idea for Reader optimisation for reading

by: | last post by:

Hi, I was using the Reader class to read a binary file and I noticed that there is no PeekByte and also its not optimised when using Peek and Read in sequence. If the .Peek is called its read the next char, and then .Read after its reading twice, why cant the .Read use the stored Peek internally? It would be twice as fast.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
