I've been trying to install a (few) file uploading script(s) to my site and can't seem to get it to work. Do the .php files need to be inside the uploads folder or the main directory? I would actually prefer to send the user a link via email to the upload page as opposed to having it on the site. Is there a script anyone would recommend? I only need to be able to upload one file (mp3) at a time. Thanks for any help.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
if ($_POST['Submit'] == "Upload"
{
//change this to the path where you want you files to be uploaded
$path='path where your page will be uploaded';
$uploaddir = $path;


$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['txt_upload']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['txt_upload']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
echo "Files uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Files not Uploaded";
}
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
And this is my form
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;form name="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt;
&lt;table width="40%" height="161" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Files: &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="file" name="txt_upload" class="input"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

ok the code just run smoothly sir,..ive tried it. but is it possible to store the files in a database?
coz i just site a folder on the path...what if i want to save file in a mysql database..please help...

ok 1st thing don't call me sir <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> . 2nd of all yes it can be done. withing the if statement just created your insert query like this.
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
if ($_POST['Submit'] == "Upload"
{
//connection to your mysql database
mysql_connect("your server", "username", "password";
mysql_select_db("databasename";

//change this to the path where you want you files to be uploaded
$path='path where your page will be uploaded';
$uploaddir = $path;


$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['txt_upload']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['txt_upload']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
//here just create you mysql insert query

echo "Files uploaded";
}
else
{
echo "Files not Uploaded";
}
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>

OK...i forgot to ask if what data type im going to use in mysql database if im goin to upload an image or somekind of text files sir, i mean what can i call you sir?

But thank you very much...I know it will work...ok i will try it now. Wait what about the path, is it still necessary to map the folder's location just like the first example you've given without the database?

after this topic...is it ok to ask you again, on how to display the images being uploaded?
hope its ok with you sir...

within the code add this
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
$filename = $_FILES['txt_upload']['name'];
</font id=code></pre id=code>
then in you sql query put it in the fieldname where you store filenames. after that create a repeat region, and add this
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
$path = "path to the files";
//this should be same as the $path in the fileupload script
$retrieve = $path.$row['fieldname'];
</font id=code></pre id=code>
or any alternative option to get all the files in this folder is to use this script
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
$path = "path to you file";
//e.g. /home/web/files/image/


// Open the folder
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path";

// Loop through the files
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "list.php"

continue;

echo "&lt;a href=\"$file\" target=_blank&gt;$file&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;";

}

// Close
closedir($dir_handle);
</font id=code></pre id=code>
this one will retrieve all the file withing this folder so you have to make sure that
1.You only have you're uploaded files in this folder
2.save the page.php with this script in the same folder where the images has been uploaded.
