I'm trying to upload a file to my php server, then return the name of the file to display in the html document. But I get the following
`error: Objektet wasn't found! The requested address was not found on this server. The link on the previous page appears to be incorrect or out of date Error 404

My html Doc
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="server.php">
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload" size="35">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="submit">
</body>
</html>
My php doc
<?php
header('Content-type: text/plain');
if(isset($_POST["fileToUpload"])){
$file = $_FILES["fileToUpload"];
echo("File: ".$file);
}
?>
You have many errors in PHP
<?php
if(isset($_FILES["fileToUpload"])){
$file = $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
echo "File: ".$file;
}
?>
HTML
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="server.php">
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload" size="35">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="submit">
</body>
</html>
Errors
1.if(isset($_POST["file"])){
its not post it should be $_FILES["fileToUpload"])
since its a file upload
$file = $_FILES["file"];
and in your html you have defined file name as fileToUpload
but your accessign unknown name so it should be $file = $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
In your PHP script you are asking for a form name that does not exist. In your form, the variable is called fileToUpload
but in your script you are checking for $_POST['file']
.
Also, the global $_FILES is an array with information about the file, so you cannot use echo
to show its content. Use echo $_FILES['fileToUpload']['name']
since $_FILES['formFieldName']['name']
will display the original name of the file on the client machine.
