Hey, when people are on my site, they want to upload files like avatars.
Does anybody know the code to make a form where you can fill in the file on your harddisk and when you submit the file is uploaded to my server?

</i>
&lt;form method="post" encoding="multopart/form-data"&gt;
&lt;input type="file size="35" name="filetoupload"/&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload"/&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;


Of course, you need some server-side code to process the upload...

<i>
</i>&lt;?php


<i> </i>$UploadDir = './';
<i> </i>$UploadFileName = $UploadDir . $_FILES['filetoupload']['name'];

<i> </i>print "&lt;pre&gt;";

<i> </i>if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filetoupload']['tmp_name'], $UploadFileName)) {
<i> </i> print "File successfully uploaded. ";
<i> </i> print "Debug information:n";
<i> </i> print_r($_FILES);
<i> </i>} else {
<i> </i> print "File exceed the limited size!n";
<i> </i> print_r($_FILES);
<i> </i>}
<i> </i>print "&lt;/pre&gt;";
?&gt;



This will should work on newer versions of PHP

@The_Anime_KingauthorApr 13.2004 — Two more questions ?

How can i make a "browse"-button and why does the script not work:

@crh3675Apr 13.2004 — First off, there was a closing quote missing in the form:

<i>
</i>&lt;form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php"&gt;
&lt;input type="file" size="35" name="filetoupload"/&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload"/&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;



Do you have permissions to write files to the server.

I also kinda fat-fingered some of the form code becuase I typing too fast, sorry

@The_Anime_KingauthorApr 13.2004 — well, the layout improved a lot but... it still doesn't work i'm afraid

you said it may be something with the writing permissions. Can you try the script and see if that really is the problem?

it's still the same url ?

@crh3675Apr 13.2004 — Add this tag to your form and try again:

<i>
</i>&lt;input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="50000" /&gt;

@The_Anime_KingauthorApr 13.2004 — I'm sorry, but it still doesn't work...?

it's not the filesize limit, because i changed that...
