this could be one of two things,

1: change the tmp path in php.ini file to something relative to your http folder..
2: change permissions on your upload folder to allow write access

I see your using localhost, this could be that perhaps your using windows as a test environment?
this will have a different effect on your upload from your Feroda server..

best to upload to a test server and check it out there..!
let me know how you get on :)

Dear All,

I am unable to upload the file… i am using fedora13 as an OS.
the code is like :—
———————-index.php———————

Select File

———————-End——————————-

upload.php :
——————Start——————-
$target_path="";
$file_name = "";
//echo("Hi");

$file_name = basename($_FILES['f1']['name']);
//echo($file_name);

if($file_name != "")
{
$target_path = "uploads/" . mktime() ."_";
//echo($target_path);
$target_path = $target_path . $file_name;

echo($_FILES['f1']['tmp_name']."”);
echo($target_path.”");

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['f1']['tmp_name'], $target_path);
}
else
{
echo ‘The file field was empty or no file selected.’;
}
?>
————End————————————————-

I got output like :
————————
/tmp/phpY5Da38
uploads/1285136586_file.ods
————————

but the upload folder still empty.

the locations of the files are:

1. File System/var/www/html/file_upload/index.php
2. File System/var/www/html/file_upload/upload.php
3. File System/var/www/html/file_upload/uploads (target Folder)

Access URL:
http://localhost/file_upload/index.php

if any body able to fix..then please get back to me….thanks in advance.

Just a note, as far as I cant tell PHP 5 isn’t required to run this code, it ought to work on PHP 4.x too.

Hi Jad,
this would really depend on your web host,
what you can do is create a new php page,
copy this code into you page

phpinfo();

open it in your browser and look for this “upload_max_filesize” without the Quotes and it will tell you..
