yes. i can see the uploaded files in files folder. should we need to create sessions for this...

prem2 -2 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 7 · 2010-04-05T12:59:09+00:00

In upload2.php when you use the below line you can see the file name.

echo "File name " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";

If you want to display the file name in table. you must assign the file name in variable and pass it into the url.

can u give me clear explanation, how to display filename in table.

prem2 -2 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 9 · 2010-04-05T13:22:10+00:00

you must use java script to pass the values using the hidden attribute.That is the simplest way.

You can try this code but it is not efficient one.
Remove the follwing line in your code.
echo '<a href="login_success.php">Back</a>';
Use this:
$filename=$_FILES;
header("Location:login_success.php?i=$filename);

In display file use the code:
<?php $filename=$_REQUEST?>
<td><?php $filename ?></td>
<td><?php echo $username; ?></td>
<td><?php echo date("Y-m-d");?></td>

prem2 -2 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 10 · 2010-04-05T13:44:50+00:00

change the following line.
<a href="login_success.php">Back</a>

Try this may be it will also help you.
$filename=$_FILES;
<a href="login_success.php?i=$filename">Back</a>

Inside the if block;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES, $target))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES). " has been uploaded";
$filename=$_FILES;
echo $filename;
print_r($_FILES);
echo '<a href="login_success.php">Back</a>';

}

Remove the follwing line in your code. header("Location:login_success.php?i=$filename); put the line <a href="login_success.php?i=$filename">Back</a> when you click the back.It will go to login_success.php

In table design you include the code mentioned below

<?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?>
<?php $filename=$_REQUEST[i]?>
<td><?php echo $filename ?></td>
<td><?php echo $username; ?></td>
<td><?php echo date("Y-m-d");?></td>

<?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?>

but i am not having any login_success.php page. i mistakenly typed it.

prem2 -2 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 29 · 2010-04-05T16:37:18+00:00

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
echo '<a href="login_success.php">Back</a>';
}

In the above code you have mentioned it.Then when u click the back button where it will go..In which page you want to display the table.
You want to display the table in same upload2.php file?
