Hi i am wondering could anyone help me understand a file upload code. I am currently working on a website like mediafire, raipidshare and the rest of them. I have taken down codes of all sorts and some i got to work but had errors. I don't understand as i take them down perfect and they still don't work. And as i am making a File Uploading site i need to understand them more. I am newish to coding but am a good quick learner and can do everything but use MySQL or connect to a DB. Any help is useful and a code would be nice too :)
Regards,
-Dyla.

Want to post the code you're using and let us know what the error seems to be?
dyla123 0 Newbie Poster
Yeah sure :) I used the code from W3schools as that seems to be the best place to get codes.
This is index.php
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>Upload_file.php
<?php
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>I copied them directly down to see did they work first. The form works as i chose what i upload then when i press submit the code from Upload_file.php just shows up on the screen. I have used a few others and still they didnt work.

Is it on a server that is correctly configured to serve PHP files?

Check that your directory references are correct. Is upload directory in the same directory as Upload_file.php? If not, that may be your problem. Also, ensure that the directory is writable.

I have a directory just for the 3 upload files. (index.php, upload_file.php and upload folder) And i am still getting the code when i click submit. Test it yourself and see what you get as it could be just me.

WHat's the error.....
dyla123 0 Newbie Poster
I click submit, the file uploads as i see it bottom left of the screen then i get...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/a6181642/public_html/web/Uploads/upload_file.php on line 24
diafol
It suggests something missing like a ; or an extra }
Try this
<?php
if(($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif" || $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg" || $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg") && $_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000) {
if($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
} else {
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if(file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
} else {
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
} else {
echo "Invalid file";
}

OK seems we're getting closer. Seems the directory does not exist.
The directory "Uploads" exists but not "upload".

I have a dir called upload yes. still getting the error though...hmm. I have made a free hosting site if you want to check it out.

As I mnetioned previously:
> Check that your directory references are correct. Is upload directory in the same directory as Upload_file.php? If not, that may be your problem. Also, ensure that the directory is writable.
If this is solved, mark it so by the link below.
