Form will not work

Protype · 27-01-2009 4:23pm #1

I am using this code as a learning tool, but i can not get it to input the file.

Can any one tell me why?

//First page is

<title>File Upload Form</title>
</head>
<body>
This form allows you to upload a file to the server.<br>

<form action="phpScripts/getfile.php" method="post"><br>
Type (or select) Filename: <input type="file" name="uploadFile">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="25000" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>

</body>
</html>

// This is where the info is sent

<head>
<title>Process Uploaded File</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

if ( move_uploaded_file ($_FILES ,
"../uploads/{$_FILES }") )
{ print '<p> The file has been successfully uploaded </p>';
}
else
{
switch ($_FILES )
{ case 1:
print '<p> The file is bigger than this PHP installation allows</p>';
break;
case 2:
print '<p> The file is bigger than this form allows</p>';
break;
case 3:
print '<p> Only part of the file was uploaded</p>';
break;
case 4:
print '<p> No file was uploaded</p>';
break;
}
}

?>
</body>
</html>

NOW: what i am getting is a blank page and image is not sent to file

Add some debug code e.g.
[PHP]<pre>
<?php
print_r($_FILES);
?>
</pre>[/PHP]

you need to have "ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data" in your form tag. Also, is safe mode turned on etc... there could be a lot of reasons. Have you acess to the log files ? Try turning on error handling

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);

All the settings look fine

I have this problem with all search box which are passed to handler php

it must be something small ??????????????

Check the PHP docs on file uploads.

I suggest starting from scratch, using the docs, and add on bits as you get it working.

Did you add the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to the form that, as codecrunchers suggested.

this works, and all I changed was the ENCTYPE!

<?php

if (!isset($_POST)) {
echo '

<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload Form</title>
</head>
<body>
This form allows you to upload a file to the server.<br>
<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="bb.php" method="post"><br>
Type (or select) Filename: <input type="file" name="uploadFile">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="25000" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
</body>
</html>';
}

else {

if ( move_uploaded_file ($_FILES ,
"/var/www/testing/upload/{$_FILES }") )
{ print '<p> The file has been successfully uploaded </p>';
}
else
{
switch ($_FILES )
{ case 1:
print '<p> The file is bigger than this PHP installation allows</p>';
break;
case 2:
print '<p> The file is bigger than this form allows</p>';
break;
case 3:
print '<p> Only part of the file was uploaded</p>';
break;
case 4:
print '<p> No file was uploaded</p>';
break;
}
}

}

?>

Form will not work
