//if the file has passed the test
if($valid_file)
{
//move it to where we want it to be
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], ‘uploads/’.$new_file_name);
$message = ‘Congratulations! Your file was accepted.’;
}
}
//if there is an error…
else
{
//set that to be the returned message
$message = ‘Ooops! Your upload triggered the following error: ‘.$_FILES['photo']['error'];
}
}

//you get the following information for each file:
$_FILES['field_name']['name']
$_FILES['field_name']['size']
$_FILES['field_name']['type']
$_FILES['field_name']['tmp_name']

I’m a big admirer of your site David, you always get the important code or meaning across without distracting filler. It’s great :)

A couple of points regarding the above PHP upload script:

i) $valid_file is never declared true, so I added the following just before the ‘if($valid_file)’.

else { $valid_file = true; }

ii) I was unable to get it working with ‘strtolower’ and the ‘uploads/’ directory but this worked for me:

$currentdir = getcwd();
$target = $currentdir .’/uploads/’ . basename($_FILES['photo']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target);

Thanks again, have fun :D
