Re: Please help me get this form working

Did you follow this post exactly?

http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/forms/7233-how-upload-file-using-form.html

Can you please post the php file (open in with note pad-copy and then paste it to thread). This way we'll be able to see the script and evaluate it.

Re: Please help me get this form working

Hi Andy

Yes, I think I did. Here is the PHP file:

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload</title>
<body>
<?php
$uploaddir = '/home/housscom/public_html/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

I then uploaded this file to my server. However, I do not understand the direction to "place both files in the same directory on your webserver" What other file are they referring to? Is this the proper script to enable the form I am looking to use?

Thanks
Bill

Bill-
I just uploaded a file with your form (small wav file) and it seemed to work. Let me know what you received.

Andy,
I have nothing in my e-mail inbox. Should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks

OOOh Found it! I went to my Cpanel and it is in my "upload" folder. How do we get it to e-mail me as an attachment with the rest of the form?

Thanks!

Re: Please help me get this form working

The above script DOES NOT send you any email. It simply uploads the file in your public_html/uploads folder. Click Index of /uploads

to see the file that Andy has uploaded.

Please note that the script that you have used, by itself only uploads the file. It doesn't allow for any other information to be filled in the form, neither it performs checking for file type, file size etc. It also doesn't send you any email in your mailbox to let you know that a new file has been uploaded. This script was not intended for stand alone use, but as a part of a larger script that would do the rest of the job.

Re: Please help me get this form working

If you re-look at the link in my post above - scroll down to Navals last post. There he gives a link to someone who posted a similar problem/request. I believe that if you follow that thread- you will be able to figure out how it is done.

I am afraid I am if little help as I have not had the need to upload files and therefore, have never written a script for it.

Yes Andy I saw that script. I believe it is for videos or images, as opposed to MP3's. I wouldnt know where to begin modifying it or if it could be modified for MP3 files

Re: Please help me get this form working

Upoloading has nothing to do with mp3 or wav or, anyway, the file type. If you have an upload script, it will upload anything. Just take that script and modify it- if you need to - to suit your needs.
