PHP file upload form

bjkstudio

Hello
I am trying to create a simple file upload form so my band members can
upload mp3s onto my server. I am using this tutorial:

http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php
I am having problems creating the code for uploader.php. Can anyone
show me exacly how it should look?

Thanks

I did this for the first time the other day.

On the HTML side:

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

Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
And your PHP action:

$uploaddir = './dir/';
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file_name;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
If you're buying third party hosting, sometimes they have a maximum
file size which you'll want to watch out for.

Is this how my uploader.php file should look? Does the function spcript
go directly beneath the
php code? Thanks
-----------------------------------

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename(
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

$uploaddir = './dir/';
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file_name;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile);
<body>
</body>
</html>

I think this is what you want:

<?php
$target_path = "./uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path .
basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path);
?>
It's a php page, so you don't want any html output. I'm assuming the
name of the files section of your form is "uploadedfile". Also, the
<form> tag should have the attribute
action="whatever_you_called_this_file.php". You really should learn how
these commands work using the PHP manual. Check out:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/functio...oaded-file.php
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
Both links offer great instruction and some tutorials.

Oh, and on my first example I forgot to close my first <form> tag with
the right bracket. Don't forget to close yours.
