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.

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.

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.

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

As I mnetioned previously:

If this is solved, mark it so by the link below.
