PHP and Excel upload

nikimere

Hey lads,

I'm having a bit of trouble uploading an Excel (.xls) file to my webserver via a form on my site.
This is a sample script i copied from some tutorial. I just need to be able to upload a files to a directory.
Nothing too complicated, no need for file validation or any security.

Here is the HTML code i'm using:
[HTML]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
[/HTML]

Here is the PHP code:
[PHP]
// 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);
$_FILES;
[/PHP]

It will upload most file types. I've tried it with word (.doc), jpeg, gif and they all work fine. For some reason Excel files wont upload....

P.S. i know this is an very un-secure script. I'm not worried about that as it is only accessible to admins how have been approved by me.

I would really like to see an answer to this one...

The code-piece that you're showing us doesn't move the uploaded file?

Do you have this piece of code further down?

[PHP]
$move = move_uploaded_file($_FILES,$target_path);
if(!$move){
//success
}
[/PHP]
