I have tried this tutorial : http://www.tutorialspoint.com/php/php_file_uploading.htm
And no success :(
I do not understand the point where this guy states
The following example below attempts to copy a file uploaded by the HTML Form listed in previous section page to /var/www/html directory which is document root of your PHP server
I tried using the filesystem path to the php script : I:\xampp\htdocs\tester\
(normally the .php is here) and it wouldn't work.
I get this error :
Warning: copy(stock-footage-hand-presses-a-confidential-stamp-contains-matte.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in I:\xampp\htdocs\tester\uploader.php on line 4
Could not copy file!
I do not understand what i am doing wrong, and if you could give me a little example, i would greatly appreciate.
<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST["uploadnow"]))
{
$directory = "images/"; //directory name where the image should get stored
$imageDet = $_FILES["uploadfile"];
if($imageDet["name"]!="")
{
//source as tmpname and destination as destination directory
copy($imageDet["tmp_name"],$directory.$imageDet["name"]);
}
}
?>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="uploadfile" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload Now" name="uploadnow" />
</form>
Hope the above code would be helpful. and note that the directory (the destination directory) has to be present for uploading. Note : method="post"
and enctype="multipart/form-data"
is must when you upload a file from form.
